What does a Scandinavian style sofa look like?
Speaking about the northern interior, it is difficult not to note its inherent functionality, restraint and closeness to nature. This was also reflected in upholstered furniture, the practicality of which is manifested in the use of natural materials and the absence of frills.
A classic Scandinavian-style sofa can be recognized by:
- straight lines;
- low wooden legs;
- light plain upholstery;
- comfortable armrests and high backrest.
The only acceptable exception to the rule is a print - a small checkered pattern, which usually uses combinations of white with blue or red.
If we are talking about a modern sofa in the Scandinavian style, then its signs can be considered:
- tall wooden or metal legs;
- bright upholstery in red, blue or green tones.
This furniture becomes one of the focal points of color that settles into a bright and spacious home. Therefore, the second rich shade that may be present in the interior is selected so as to harmoniously combine with the upholstery of the sofa.

The classic solution for a northern interior is straight furniture with a high, comfortable back and slightly beveled or rounded armrests. Its soft and elastic pillows can become a favorite resting place for the whole family.
A folding corner sofa is the embodiment of Scandinavian style functionality. Even when folded, it pleasantly transforms an uncomfortable area of the apartment into a comfortable relaxation area.
Daybeds, whether they have or have no armrests, become a worthy place to relax during the day. But this does not mean at all that their soft seat cannot accommodate an overnight guest.
