Get the Simple Scandi look with these five key buys

A classic look that doesn't scrimp on character, we think a Scandi scheme is particularly suited to family homes thanks to its pops of fun colour and eye-catching geometric patterns.

Try it anywhere – in a living room, kitchen, playroom bedroom or study. You can start relatively small and layer up the look as much as you dare. And these pieces from our collection at Very are the perfect jumping-off point.

The armchair

The contoured design of this chair just begs you to sit in it. You could tone the colour down with a sheepskin rug, but if citrus really isn't your thing, the chair also comes in grey and blush pink.
