Ten peaceful Scandi living rooms that feature minimalist design and natural materials

For this week's lookbook, we have picked ten Scandi-style living rooms from the Dezeen archive that play with textures and showcase natural materials, elegant accessories and muted colours.

Scandi style is a term used to describe designs from the three Scandinavian countries – Sweden, Denmark and Norway – but has also become a catchphrase that denotes minimalist interior design that uses plenty of natural materials, especially wood.

Wooden floors are traditional in Scandinavian homes, where they are often matched with wood details such as panelling and classic mid-century modern furniture.

Scandi living rooms often feature white or pale walls, which are common in the Nordic countries where the long, dark winter months mean people tend to choose light colours for their interiors.

Many of the ten interiors below also play with textures, adding fluffy throws to simple sofas, tactile rugs to wooden floors and rattan and leather seating.

This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous roundups include L-shaped kitchens, interiors that use internal glazing and inviting courtyards.

Gjøvik House, Norway, by Norm Architects

Located an hour outside of Oslo, Gjøvik House comprises six interconnected blocks with interiors featuring mottled grey walls, earthen textiles and warm wooden panelling.

Pale grey hues were used for the living room, which has a soft Bollo chair designed by Andreas Engesvik for Foglia and a modular sofa in a neutral grey tone.

According to the architect, the spaces were designed to have a "cosy and inviting feel, where you can truly hibernate while taking shelter from the frigid days of Nordic winter."

TypeO Loft, Sweden, by TypeO

The living room area of creative studio TypeO's guest loft in southern Sweden features floor-to-ceiling glazing that opens up onto a large balcony.

A coffee table by Isamu Noguchi for Vitra matches the wooden floor and beams and is complemented by Ligne Roset's Togo armchairs in black leather. Sculptural decorative details add an art gallery-like feel to the bright living space.

20 Bond Apartment, US, by Home Studios

Design firm Home Studios filled the 20 Bond Apartment in New York with bespoke furniture and vintage finds, including a leather Safari chair by Danish designer Kai Winding.

An entire wall is taken up by a bespoke shelving unit that the studio made from oak wood and brass, adding another Scandinavian-style feature to the room. A rattan table and a pink resin side table by Sabine Marcelis add a tactile touch.

Sculptor's Residence, Sweden, by Norm Architects, Menu and Dux

Norm Architects, Menu and Dux collaborated on this installation that was designed to resemble the "eclectic living quarters of a creative." Muted brown and beige hues lend the interiors an earthy, organic feel, which is contrasted by the elegance of the black marble table and black sculptures.

Menu's Hashira floor lamp adds a subtle nod to Japanese interiors, and its sleek surface offsets the knobbly texture of the brand's Eave Dining Sofa Bench.

Villa Weinberg, Denmark, by Mette and Martin Weinberg

Wienberg Architects collaborated with fellow Danish architects Friis & Moltke to overhaul the 1940s Villa Weinberg. The result is a warm, inviting home lined with oil-treated oak walls.

The wood-clad living room also has a simple wooden coffee table and poufs for lounging on, as well as a built-in leather-clad bench. A rice lamp and sheepskin throw add texture to the wooden interior.

Solviken, Sweden, by Johan Sundberg

Scandi living rooms tend to have very neutral colours, but in this space in a Swedish holiday home, two comfy sofas in a calming seafoam green create a bright focal point in the room. The hue is picked up by a painting at the end of the large, open-plan kitchen and living room.

Small unpainted wooden coffee tables match the floor and the wooden storage cabinets alongside one wall.

London townhouse, UK, by Daytrip

Design studio Daytrip's renovation and expansion of an east London townhouse includes a living room with white walls, a wooden floor and furniture in muted colours.

Agilenano - News: 2020-04-28

I’ve already shared two of my favourite exhibitions from Stockholm Design Week – ‘The Sculptor’s Residence’ and ‘The Archive’ – so today I have a round-up of interesting product launches from the Stockholm Furniture Fair, which takes place at the same time. The largest trade show in the Nordic design world, it brings together more than 700 brands – mostly from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, but a few from further afield, too. It’s also where many companies choose to unveil their latest pieces, and I’ve picked out some of my favourites below. So, make yourself a cuppa, sit back and feast your eyes on these beautiful new designs… Relaunched pieces from Fredericia’s archives First up is Danish brand Fredericia, which has long been a favourite of mine. Its focus has always been timeless, long-lasting design and for 2020 it has chosen to relaunch several classic pieces from its archives. One is the ‘Ditzel’ lounge chair, created in 1949 by Nanna Ditzel (later responsible for Fredericia’s iconic ‘Trinidad’ chair) and her husband Jørgen. It marked a departure from the upright, rigid chairs that were conventional at the time, and its curved shape was intended to give people the freedom to sit in new, more relaxed ways. The updated version is made from PUR foam with a steel frame, wooden legs and a choice of upholstery, and will be available from September. The other pieces, which are due to go on sale this spring, were all the work of Fredericia’s first design director, Børge Mogensen. The ‘BM61’ and ‘BM62’ chairs (the latter with arms, the former without) are simple yet striking, with a solid wooden frame and a choice of cane wicker or linen webbing for the seat and back. The ‘Canvas’ chair, meanwhile, has a clean-lined oak frame and chunky armrests that echo Mogensen’s famous ‘Spanish’ chair, but with canvas rather than leather for the seat and back. It was designed just before his death in 1972 and has never been put into full production before now, but it makes an excellent addition to Fredericia’s range. Versatile furniture and lighting from Carl Hansen & Son Børge Mogensen was also the man behind two pieces being relaunched by Carl Hansen & Son: the ‘BM0865’ daybed (available from May) and the ‘BM0488’ table bench (available from September). Both were originally showcased at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild furniture exhibition in 1958 and formed part of Mogensen’s ‘building furniture’ concept, through which he aimed to create enduring designs that could be added to and adapted over time in response to changing needs. The daybed is made up of modular oak seats, soft cushions and cylindrical head and armrests that can be used in all sorts of different combinations, and it suits a wide variety of spaces. The bench is crafted from solid oak with a woven top and is similarly versatile, working well as a seat, a side table, a coffee table or a surface for books and other items. Also on show on Carl Hansen’s stand – and in some of the below press photos – was the new ‘MO’ series of floor, table, wall and ceiling lamps. The company’s first collaboration with Danish designer Mads Odgård, it consists of simple lacquered-steel shapes that symbolise light’s comforting effect on people and is designed to last for decades without dating. It will be on sale from October, with prices starting at £263 / €300 per lamp. Scandinavian classics and contemporary tables from Warm Nordic There was yet another relaunch from Warm Nordic – a young Danish brand unveiled at the fair in 2018. It was founded with the aim of showcasing long-lost mid-century pieces alongside contemporary designs, and its latest addition is ‘Dwell’ – a family of compact sofas and armchairs first created by architect Hans Olsen in the 1950s. The curved shape and tapered wooden legs form an elegant yet striking silhouette and there’s a wide range of upholstery options to choose from, including leather and tactile bouclé. It’s set to go on sale this spring, with prices ranging from €1,800 to €5,250. Warm Nordic also used the fair to showcase its new ‘Affinity’ dining table. The work of architect / design duo Halskov & Dalsgaard, it combines a bevelled linoleum top with slimline metal legs and beautiful cane detailing. It comes in round and elliptical versions, with a choice of three muted colourways, and it too will be available in the spring. Prices start at €2,030. New additions at Artek New on Artek‘s stand were two pieces designed by French duo Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec: the ‘Rope’ chair and the ‘Tupla’ wall hook. Both combine simple-looking silhouettes with sophisticated construction and stay true to the Finnish brand’s ethos of blending art and technology (hence the name Artek). The chair is described as ‘a line drawing translated into space’ and consists of a steel-tube frame threaded with rope that forms the back and armrests. It’s surprisingly comfortable as it bends to the sitter’s shape, and it comes in black with a black polyester rope or light grey with a natural flax rope. The wall hook, meanwhile, is made from die-cast zinc and intended to add beauty to an everyday object, with elegant loops that are as lyrical as they are functional. Sculptural minimalism from Kristina Dam I always look forward to seeing the latest pieces from Copenhagen-based designer Kristina Dam, who describes her aesthetic as ‘sculptural minimalism’, and her spring-summer 2020 collection certainly didn’t disappoint. Among the new additions on her stand were the understated ‘Capsule’ glasses and carafe, the angular ‘Pedestal’ table and a bench to match the existing ‘Curved’ side table. I also spotted brown- and black-leather editions of the popular ‘Curved’ pouf, a new full-sized version of the ‘Rotating’ mirror, and a beautiful porcelain sculpture called ‘Brick’, which takes its cue from Ancient Greek architecture and features a single unbroken line. My favourites, though, were the powder-coated steel ‘Bauhaus’ lounge chair – a tribute to the famous Bauhaus art school, available in black or white and suitable for indoor and outdoor use – and the painted-glass ‘Dual’ vases, which come in soft, earthy colours and can be stood on either end, giving you two different designs in one. Many of the new launches are available now; others are coming soon but you can sign up for alerts via the website. New colours and options from String Furniture Swedish stalwart String Furniture used the fair to display several new additions, including a rich brown version of its iconic modular shelving system and the full roll-out of its beige colourway, first launched for some elements last year. There was also a new utilitarian version of its compact ‘Pocket’ shelf unit featuring perforated metal and a lipped edge. It was created by Swedish duo Anna von Schewen and Björn Dahlström, who sought to reinterpret the design while retaining the essence of the original, and is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and garages. The holes can be used for hanging hooks, rails and other accessories, and it comes in three colour choices – white, taupe and neon orange – that were developed in collaboration with stylist Lotta Agaton. Sustainable wooden furniture from Nikari Finnish brand Nikari had largely escaped my radar before now, but I was very taken with the way it combines modern design with traditional craftsmanship. I was also impressed by its commitment to sustainability, which extends as far as powering its head office, studio and workshop with renewable energy from the hydro-power plant located next door. Its pared-back wooden pieces encompass creations from the likes of Alvar Aalto, Jasper Morrison and Claesson Koivisto Rune, and are made from responsibly sourced wood finished with natural lacquers. New for 2020 is the understated ‘Storia’ stool, designed by Nikari founder Kari Virtanen, and Jenni Roininenat’s ‘Basic’ table, which comes with round or rectangular ends. Both are understated and timeless, and I can see them fitting seamlessly into all sorts of different settings. All-new accessories from &tradition As well as displaying its recently launched pieces by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard Nielsen, &tradition unveiled ‘Collect’, a line of elegant and understated home accessories created by Space Copenhagen. Designed to complement the Danish brand’s range of classic and contemporary furniture and lighting, it includes cushions, throws and bedspreads in earthy hues such as beige, burgundy and terracotta. All are made from soft and cosy natural materials, with linen and merino wool alongside organic cotton. There’s also a series of hand-crafted concrete planters, which can be used indoors and out and come in three different sizes. The full collection should be available very soon, although prices have yet to be confirmed. The ‘Roadie’ bench from Massproductions Last but not least is Sweden-based Massproductions, whose new ‘Roadie’ outdoor bench was named ‘Best Product�� in the fair awards. The creation of the brand’s British co-founder Chris Martin, it was inspired by the steel crowd control barriers found at rock concerts and is made from strong yet lightweight aluminium. The high back is designed for comfort, and the curved shape means sections can be placed together in a circle to encourage conversation; it’s also stackable for easy storage. It comes in brushed silver, pale yellow and dark green finishes, and matching seat cushions are available. Prices start at €2,060.

Create A Contemporary Ambiance With Modern Home Furniture Design

Three adjectives that would accurately describe contemporary

home furniture design

are modern, simple and current. Though the best way to get a contemporary style home designed is by reaching out to the

best interior designers in Mumbai

still you can follow our simple guide and be a Pro at designing a gorgeous home by yourself. This is if you adore your house having a modern and simple touch while also keeping up with current styles then you adhere to the contemporary school of design. Even though modern design usually adopts a colder and minimalistic design, current contemporary homes are leaning towards a more sophisticated yet comfortable look. These homes are welcoming but without being dark and cluttered.The basic characteristics of contemporary design are simplicity, conspicuous use of texture and clean lines all mixed in with subtlety and sophistication. The main idea or goal of contemporary design is to highlight space rather than things. It achieves this by focusing on elements like colour, space and shape which gives the space a sleek and fresh look.

Characteristics Of Contemporary Style Home Furniture Design:

There is next to none intricate detailing.

Lines of contemporary styled furniture typically should be hard-edged or gently curved.

The finishing of the furniture is not selective so it can be in all tones.

The furniture should make a simple, uncluttered but bold statement.

If the contemporary style is how you want your house to look but are confused about what furniture should be in your house then here a few design ideas that will give your house a contemporary touch as recommended by the best

furniture manufacturers in Mumbai

1. Upholstered Furniture:Upholstery is the work done on furniture, typically seats, to provide padding, springs fabric and leather covers and webbing. The advantage of upholstered furniture is that its long-lasting and required very low maintenance. Since contemporary style, home furniture design focuses a lot on texture, upholstered furniture really brings out the contemporary touch. Getting upholstered furniture in black, white or neutral tones made of natural fibres like wool, cotton, linen, jute and silk really ups the textured feel of your house. 2. Urban Home Furniture Design:This furniture is especially for people dwelling in the city. This is why the furniture is typically smaller in scale but at the same time well designed and elegant. Urban furniture can be characterised by their lack of ornamentation, abundant use of black and a range of bright or primary colours, use of varied materials like metal, glass and light wood, and the furniture has striking lines and shapes. These characteristics make the urban home furniture design high impact even though it is small in scale. For this style use simple window treatments like sheer fabric or sheer blinds. Another modern home furniture design is bookshelves, armoires and storage units that are low in height. You can even incorporate multi-purpose ottomans, storage units etc. Also include colourful area rugs, colourful artwork, and sofas which pop with colour along with bright throw pillows. 3. Basic Background With A Splash Of Colour:In contemporary design, ‘the less is more’ ideology is often used. For example, a basic background is brought out by adding a furniture piece in your favourite colour. This means that both the background and the furniture piece will stand out. However, this does not mean you will add a red rug to a greyscale background. The bright colours should not be jarring but should weave in naturally. A few ideas include adding teal or violet pillows to a cream sofa or matching a brightly coloured rug to a modern painting in the same colour palette. The neutral colours ensure a sense of harmony and contrast and make brighter colours seem more in sync with the rest of the

living room interiors

. 4. Art Deco:This style of design is separated from traditional design with the lack of intricate carvings found in traditional design. Instead, it has elegant lines and curves. It involves the blend of luxurious material with synthetic materials which creates a unique and casual look. Luxurious materials that can be used include mother of pearls, ivory, silver and gold leaf, and lacquers. Synthetic materials include contemporary metals, glass, plastics, resins, and mirrors. Other characteristics include medium-toned wood and mirrored and chromed surfaces.If you want to spruce up your room to give it The Great Gatsby feel then here are some furniture pieces you could add. One characteristic of art deco is it streamlined shapes, for example, angular armchairs. Another characteristic is animal prints so you can incorporate a cowhide rug. Geometric shapes are equally important features of art deco and you can include them through art deco mirrors and make a glamorous statement. The overall feel of your room should be sleek and smooth so opt for sleek materials like a vintage floor lamp or a Hungarian Arts Deco table. 5. Let There Be Light:The clean straight lines and hard edges of the contemporary style can seem severe. However, a blend of different rich textures and lots of sunlight can make the place feel more warm and welcoming. You can achieve this look by having large windows that will let in plenty of natural light. You can also make the abundant use of floor and/or ceiling lights. To give a more welcoming feel, you can dress up creamy hued sofas with light coloured throw pillows. Modern paintings with bright hues also accentuate the light especially if there is a light that is pointed at the painting. 6. Casual Contemporary:This style of contemporary design is the most popular because of its casual and relaxed styled and feel. It is a softer, more updates style that does not adopt the design of the hard edges of the formal mid-century modern style. The look is neutral but the scale is larger than typical contemporary designs. The characteristics of the furniture are rounded and eased edges, medium wood tones, textures like glass and leather and other textured fabrics are featured, and soft and overstuffed surfaces with pillow-topped couches. In this style, you can add a sleek leather sofa, spare tables, creamy hued sofas that are dressed up with bright coloured like pink throw pillows, etc. 7. Smooth Clean Geometric Shapes:Introducing this home furniture design is essential to contemporary style. This design can be reflected in many different ways; the important idea is to accentuate the geometry of the place. For example, in a dining room, nature and geometry can blend in to form a contemporary dining area. For example, hardwoods can be an ode to nature while the sleek tables and chairs lend structure and geometry to the design. If your room is centred around a modern artwork then a good idea is to let the artwork’s geometry echo in the shelving unit and furniture. Let the primary colours of the artwork be infused throughout the space creating symmetry. 8. Retro Style Home Furniture Design:This a more whimsical look from the eras of the 1950s to the 1980s. Even though termed retro today, this style was fashionable modern during its reign in the late 20th century. Few furniture pieces that give a retro feel are modular plastic chairs, Formica topped tables, chrome bar stools and anything that is reminiscent of a diner from the 1950s. Other furniture includes boomerang tables and furniture in the space-age style and pieces with a flavour of pop-culture. You can include the retro style in your home with black and white floor tiles for example in the kitchen, a gossip bench, kitschy wallpaper, a retro danish sofa, and even a record player if you are feeling especially groovy. 9. Mid-Century Modern Home Furniture Design:The mid-century modern style is best characterised by stark and simple designs that sculptural in their look and feel. The ideology used is, ‘ form follows function’. Once again, there is little or no ornamentation but instead, there are sleek and uncluttered lines. There is a combination of traditional like wood with not traditional or synthetic materials like glass, plexiglass, plywood and vinyl.To explore the texture, the materials are juxtaposed against each other. The colour palette is varied and can range from neutral to bold and includes the greyscale. Lightweight thin-framed furniture is big in mid-century modern. You can contrast the brown wood with pops of colour by adding resin or plastic furniture like tulip chairs or a transparent coffee table. An essential for this style is a strikingly simple chair that will stand out beautifully. For storage, it is best to use a modular storage system. Wool rugs in muted fall tones will add rustic texture to the room. You can stylise a sunburst mirror and teak clock or vice versa to create a beautiful gallery wall. 10. Contemporary Style

Bedroom Interiors

:A contemporary style bedroom generally should have clean, straight lines that include an impeccable design which gives a feel of richness and sophistication. You can achieve clean straight lines through a sloped ceiling. Richness can be achieved by velvet throw pillows, for example. You can add tonal textures through the rugs, accessories, and beddings. This adds extra warmth, comfort and even glamour to the room. It is a good idea to avoid accessories that include trims, bed skirts, ruffles, floral patterns, fringe and tassels. Basically, nothing that is cute or small. Its the rule of the three Bs: Basic, Bare and Bold!11. Contemporary Style Kitchen Furniture:Contemporary style in the kitchen usually adopts a pared-down style. This includes having flat-front cabinets and sleek stainless-steel appliances. Textured materials like granite, wood and rattan are often used. A colour palette of greys, neutrals and white is a good idea as it is long-lasting and will give the kitchen a clean look. This can be paired with traditional flooring using natural materials. Getting out storage space is also a good idea as it will keep the surface uncluttered. 12. Contemporary Style Furnishings: These are a few contemporary style extras that you can add to your home after choosing your furniture. A good idea is to go for small elements that add personality and depth to the room.

Lamps: Lamps should typically be metallic with straight lines. Lamps made of steel, nickel and chrome are more fitting in the contemporary style. You can also look for floor or desk lamps that have straight and hard lines instead of soft or curvy designs.

Paintings, vases, stocks of books, sculptures: These are all good and stylish elements that can act as accessories. Paintings should generally be simple with minimalistic colours- think modern art. The vases and sculptures should also have a minimalistic design and use very few colours.

Appropriate natural materials like plants: Some plants that accentuate the contemporary design are large orchids, palms, lilies and tulips. Any plant that has bold textures and architectural shapes can be chosen. These can be kept in a contemporary container to weave it in with the other furniture.

That’s the basic guide to the different furniture pieces that you can add to your home to create a contemporary look. The general idea is to avoid patterns of any kinds like floral, polka dots etc. Choose furniture that has sleek and smooth lines and design and use pieces that are low and towards the ground. Space should also be open and inviting; there should be no clutter.Basically, your furniture should embody simplicity, sophistication and subtlety. If you achieve this you will give your house a contemporary touch. If you are looking for professional

The steel blue will certainly coordinate magnificently with the brand-new blue scheme of the living-room, in addition to the brand-new, vivid and modern flower armchairs.

I enjoy Set Kemp's insides, as well as had her layouts in mind when we coordinated our living-room's transformation. Throughout the whole material choice process, Panagiotis from Residence of AnLi was likewise client as well as well-informed-- absolutely a pleasure to collaborate with.

My suggestions is not to hurry the preparation. Attempt to get huge swatches of the material during the option phase and also make certain you review the textile sitting. I as soon as made a terrible decision of purchasing furniture fabric based upon a tiny example, and also regretted it from the moment the chairs were supplied. Making a colour board is additionally helpful."

Lilian as well as her group offer excellent however discreet solution, allowing you time to ponder as well as form your very own conclusions in a relaxed as well as pleasant ambience.

Our new U-shaped sofa set with twin coffee tables was made to our exact size requirements. In our little conservatory design room, it is very important to gain as much seats as possible without feeling as well confined or claustrophobic. The outcome was exactly as we would certainly envisaged.

We also have an exterior table as well as six chairs from OHMM on a reduced flooring porch. When the timber discoloured somewhat within a couple of months of purchase, OHMM was amazing. They arranged for collection, left us a car loan collection and also totally re-stained the timber, leaving it like new. Nobody can request much better solution than that! It is essential not to be hurried right into a buying choice.

See to it you're purchasing exactly what you need and want, not just what the salesperson intends to offer you. At OHMM, you could constantly ask for something out of the ordinary or which is not displayed in the catalogues-- they will generally locate a way to please your demands if whatsoever feasible."
