Scandinavian Farmhouse
Everything that defines Scandinavian Farmhouse — and how to know if it's your style.
What Scandinavian Farmhouse is
Scandinavian Farmhouse blends light, airy simplicity made for cozy living with warm, practical, lived-in comfort. It's one of the 56 design styles Noma can match you to — and like most real homes, it's a blend, not a single label. Here's how to recognize it and bring it home.
The palette
Scandinavian Farmhouse leans on a warm and grounded palette — soft neutrals as the base, with the accent tones shown here. Keep it tonal and let texture do the work.
Materials & textures
Pale woods, wool, and linen, plus natural wood, shiplap, and black metal. Mixing a few natural materials is what gives Scandinavian Farmhouse its depth — aim for two or three that repeat through the room.
How to get the Scandinavian Farmhouse look
- Start with the base neutrals on walls and large furniture.
- Layer in the materials above so texture carries the room.
- Use the accent color sparingly — art, textiles, one hero piece.
- Keep the lines clean and simple, and don't over-fill the space.
