Scandinavian Living Room with Low Wood Cube Storage

Living room · Scandinavian

Low wood cube storage sits beside a pale rug and light oak floor in this Scandinavian living room. Rattan baskets and fabric boxes keep toys and books at a height that can be reached from the floor.

Scandinavian Living Room with Low Wood Cube Storage · Overview

Reproduction core

  1. 01Set cubbies and baskets within a child's reach so putting things away becomes part of everyday play rather than an adult-only task.
  2. 02Keep the storage top low enough to preserve window light and the sofa sightline; let the wood's horizontal line organise the wall.
  3. 03Use one large ivory rug as the shared play and reading surface so toys have a place to gather instead of spreading through the room.
  4. 04Show daily-use objects in open cubbies and hide small parts or seasonal items in woven and fabric baskets.
  5. 05Filter strong window light with sheer curtains and carry oak and weave from floor to storage to give the bright room material warmth.
