The 12 Best Places To Shop For Scandi-Inspired Furniture And Decor

There must be something in the water in Scandinavia, because Scandinavian design is some of the dreamiest we've ever seen. This Nordic region — which includes Denmark, Sweden, and Norway — inspires the kind of home decor and furniture you see all over Instagram or Pinterest with comforting, clean lines, functionality, and quality craftsmanship. This interior design style is more than an aesthetic, but a feeling, which we can most likely thank the concept of hygge and other regional ideas for that emphasize the importance of a cozy and welcoming home.

We've all heard of the iconic Swedish retailer IKEA, but there are plenty of other Scandinavian brands with pieces, no matter what your budget is. Here are 12 of the best places to buy Scandinavian furniture and decor to elevate any corner of your home.

1. IKEA

We'd be remiss if we didn't kick things off with a mention of the Swedish powerhouse that introduced accessible Scandi design to the globe, especially with all the exciting one-off collections and collabs they've been offering. Whether you're furnishing your living room or college dorm, IKEA will surely have budget-friendly Scandinavian-style pieces you'll fall in love with.
