Grey is the staple color for Scandinavian design. It is neutral, unintrusive and a timeless classic. Given it’s virtually absent of color, it draws no attention to itself.
Light grey and white help make the room feel spacious and airy. It is a palette we couldn’t miss & promote enough. If you feel the warm colors are too much for you, just pick the grey!

Living Room
We certainly like a grey Scandinavian sofa and whitewashed wall. If you’d like to play with materials on the wall, you could pick limewash or fade-toned laminate for timber paneling. Grey area rug means much to define the tone of the living room.
Pick: Grey Scandinavian design sofa, Grey area rug
From: IKEA
Bedroom
A grey-washed wall, a white flowy curtain, and white linen bedding are what we like. For minimalist Scandinavian design, it is best to omit the fancy bed head that comes with the bed.
Pick: Sheer curtain, Linen bedding, Scandinavian design side table
From: IKEA
Kitchen
A grey kitchen makes the kitchen bright and airy, it is also easier to maintain than a white kitchen. If cool grey is too cold for your liking, you could opt for purplish-grey such as lavender grey like the above picture.
Pick: White mosaic tiles, minimalist door handle (concealed or almost concealed), White countertop, Grey laminate
From: Tile and Countertop Supplier
Dining Room
The light grey dining room is both elegant and welcoming. A white-washed dining table paired with Scandinavian lighting (white or accent black), it is simple yet homecoming. For the dining chairs, grey or oak chairs (if you’d like natural tone) are perfectly matching!
Pick: White dining table, grey or oak furniture, white minimalist lighting

Bathroom
A light grey bathroom will sure brighten up your morning daily! We like the minimalist white countertop and light grey terrazzo-like finish here.
