Scandinavian style sofa, what a true Scandinavian looks like

There are two seriously different Scandinavian designs: Swedish and more modern Danish. The difference between them is small, if we talk about the interior as a whole. But, looking at upholstered furniture, especially its most massive representatives - sofas - you can feel it in full.

What a Scandinavian-style sofa looks like

Speaking about the northern interior, it is difficult not to note its inherent functionality, restraint and closeness to nature. This is reflected in upholstered furniture, the practicality of which is manifested in the use of natural materials, and in the absence of excesses.

The classic Scandinavian style sofa can be recognized by:

• straight lines;
• low wooden legs;
• light monochromatic upholstery;
• comfortable armrests and high backrest.

Only a print is considered an acceptable exception to the rule - a small cage, in which combinations of white with blue or red are usually used.

If we are talking about a modern Scandinavian-style sofa, then its features can be considered:

• high wooden or metal legs;
• bright upholstery in red, blue or green colors.

This furniture becomes one of the pockets of color in the light and airy home. Therefore, the second juicy shade that can be present in the interior is selected so as to harmoniously combine with the sofa upholstery.

A classic solution for a northern interior is straight furniture with a high comfortable back and slightly sloped or rounded armrests. Its soft and resilient pillows make it a favorite vacation spot for the whole family.

The fold-out corner sofa is the embodiment of the functionality of the Scandinavian style. Even when folded, it pleasantly transforms an uncomfortable section of an apartment into a comfortable recreation area.

Couches, whether without or with armrests, are a worthy place to relax during the day. But this does not mean at all that their soft seat will not be able to shelter a night guest.
