Growing up in Scandinavia, interiors were never about making a statement — they were about how a space made you feel. Rooms were designed to slow you down, to be practical without feeling clinical, and to hold warmth through material rather than excess. That way of living has stayed with me, and it continues to shape how I approach design today.

What I’m drawn to in Scandinavian bedrooms today is how that sense of calm has gained depth. The lines remain clean and the layouts thoughtful, but there’s more softness now — in the curve of a chair, the weight of a textile, the way a bedside piece sits just slightly off-centre. Nothing is trying too hard, yet every choice feels deliberate. Comfort is built through layers that reveal themselves over time, rather than all at once.

This collection reflects that shift. Each piece is chosen for how it lives within a bedroom and the role it plays in shaping the space. Nothing competes for attention; everything feels intentional. The result is a bedroom that feels settled, composed, and easy to be in.

If you're drawn to this approach but unsure how to bring it into your own space, Design Lab is here to help We offer considered guidance and tailored sourcing to help you find pieces that feel right for your home.
