A minimal, Scandinavian-style home is functional, open, and balanced. Emphasizing clean lines, pleasant colors such as white, black, and beige, and openness, this style is perfect for those who want their home to feel stylish yet refined.

A Scandinavian sofa is an invaluable piece of furniture that can be used as a central focal point for your living room, and while these beautiful vintage pieces are eye-catching in their own right, knowing how to properly support them with other furniture pieces and the right decor can help you put together a fantastic minimalist home.

Crafting a Minimalist and Functional Space
Once you have your Scandinavian sofa in place, think about what other furniture pieces you need to complete the look of your living room. If you are specifically going for a minimalist look, there are a few interior design points that you should keep in mind to get the best results.

First, minimalist spaces should emphasize functionality. In essence, you are carefully selecting quality pieces to fulfill both the functional and artistic elements of the room, without over-styling or decorating a space. Swedish and Gustavian style pieces are perfect for this aesthetic as they often use simplistic, playful shapes, combined with geometric carvings. The overall palette is simplistic and elegant.

Think about the amount of space you are working with and decide how much seating you can without the space feeling cramped or obstructing movement. Typically, you could utilize your sofa in tandem with an attractive Scandinavian-style bergère or loveseat. Place these in an “L” shape to create a coherent and welcoming feel but keep in mind how accessible each piece of furniture is.

Add a side table and coffee table depending on your needs. To complement the fine lines and minimalist style of your Scandinavian sofa, the ideal table should be symmetrical and attractive but not distracting in its design and should be above all else, functional. With a minimalist style, you want to avoid adding a table simply for the sake of decor display, carefully choose the pieces that speak to you, and serve your aesthetic.

Arrange your living room so that the sofa acts as an anchor, tying the design together with its size, luxury, and beautiful minimalist tone. This is why you want to make sure that you invest in a high-quality piece such as the furniture you will find at EloquenceⓇ. EloquenceⓇ has an exceptional selection of gorgeous Scandinavian-style sofas and loveseats that would be perfect to use in a minimalist setting.

Once you have the general arrangement of your living room set, you want to add just a bit of decor to complete the look. A piece or two of staggered abstract art on the wall, or a single stately potted plant could go a long way in such a space. You can infuse interest into a minimalist space by adding in textural or metallic pieces
