"Summer is such a wonderful time of year in Scandiland," says Editor Jen, "and this was such a beautiful issue to work on - full of light, soft colour and ideas for making the most of the change of season. Here's what's inside our new Vol 18 Summer…

Where sand, sea & sky meet

Soak in the soothing colours of the Scandi coast at this time of year, where pale blues and soft greys combine with golden sandy huse. This palette makes bringing the look home easy, with textiles and furniture, artwork and ceramics all simple additions for a relaxed feel-good summer scheme.

3 Scandi homes that exude inside-outside living

The homes in this issue all have that inside-outside vibe, with terraces and lanscapes that make outdoor living a dream. Emily's delightful Danish cottage strikes the right balance between chic neutrals and romantic touches. Yvonne turned a worse-for-wear skipper's cottage on the Norwegain coast into a stunning summer bolthole, while the beachfront location has inspired the dreamy coastal palette of Katharina's cosy Danish summerhouse.

Simply Scandi Vol 18 Summer

£8.99

Our Vol 18 Summer 2025 celebrates summer in Scandinavia, such a lovely time of year, when inside just seems to head outside. Doors are flung open, furniture gets moved to the terrace, and gardens become that extra room.

In our Special, we look at Scandi gardens: with two very different retreats. Plus we chat to Annika Zetterman, one of Scandinavia’s most influential garden designers and share 30 outdoor buys. We also visit three beautiful Scandi homes: first, Emily’s Danish cottage, where neutrals and pretty touches combine effortlessly. Then we head to Yvonne’s cottage on the Norwegian coast for a tale of renovation. Finally, we step inside Katharina’s cosy Danish summerhouse, inspired by its beach setting.

There's also ideas for creating a summerhouse look and Scandi foodie favourite Brontë Aurell’s easy smørrebrød recipes, plus our usual round-up of Scandi news.
