Design fans and interior stylists will always look to Scandinavian design for inspiration and ideas.

Our recommended brand, Skandivis, brings together all the best designers from Scandinavia – creating an online store where you can create whole looks for a room from any selection of items. Pieces co-ordinate and blend perfectly for all rooms of the house including the kids rooms. Their incredible range of Mrs Mighetto art prints would be beautiful in a nursery or children’s room but happily grown up enough for you too. 

The store stocks brands including Playtype, Moebe, Miniwalla, Design Letters, By Nord and Ferm Living. 

We highly recommend their print selection as well as the variety of ways they have to hang and frame the great mix of illustrations, typographical prints and botanical prints.

Not to be solely associated with a twee cottage in the countryside, this floral trend can be a beautiful layer on to a minimal white room. Deep hues of floral designs can be miss match and combine to create a rich look that can be really effective on a worn leather couch against a crisp white wall. Mismatching in the sane hues, varying the size of the print, can create a warm, coherent look that is cosy and inviting and easy to add to with new pieces to layer up. 

Florals can be introduced in the furniture,  in small homewares, with small furnishings and even with wall and floor covering. Try The Rug Seller for great granny floral rugs and head to Wilko for a lovely selection of floral wallpapers

Marble is cool, clean and calming in an interior. It can add an extra dimension to white interiors and sits perfectly with the current popular copper, metallic and pastel trends. 

It can be introduced in a subtle or strong way. 

For a big impact use on walls or floor. There are some great modern marble wall papers and marble tiles can be effective on both walls and floors. We found some incredibly affordable vinyl self adhesive tiles from B&Q that would be a cost effective, quick way to introduce marble into a room. Tiles can be a great alternative to feature wall paper for a focus in a room. 

For subtle hints of marble use small homewares including vases, dishes, trays or even a small feature shelf to add a little of this trend to a room. To combine a few great trends try using a large marble tray on a white coffee table with a cluster selection of candles in metallic or copper holders – to make a central feature to your lounge. 

1. Using a splash back of marble can lift a minimal white kitchen with a gentle touch of texture.

2. Ferm Living marble wallpaper / £59.95 Naken
