Light sofas for a modern living room – which models will work in minimalist or Scandinavian interiors?

Light sofas for a modern living room – which models will work in minimalist or Scandinavian interiors?

A living room in any home must be presentable: this is where we host our guests, but also where we rest and spend time with the family. It is worth spending some time to make sure that our relaxation zone is comfortable, cosy and stylish. Modern style has become very popular when it comes to interior design. Scandinavian style is similar, but more subtle and characteristic. 

Simplicity and harmony of minimalist interiors

Modern style initially was a manifestation of rebellion against opulent ornamentation and lavishness of 19th century interiors. In the 20th century, functionality and simplicity started to be valued more and more. In modern arrangements, instead of elaborate patterns, you will find straight lines and geometrical shapes, such as polygons or circles. Colours are toned down and the whole arrangement becomes a tasteful, harmonious entity. 

Modern style also means open space and a lot of light, as well as removing decorative features and unnecessary accessories. High-class furniture or beautiful, stylishly-upholstered sofas will decorate your room enough. Whites, greys and light, pastel shades of other colours will make your minimalist room bright and spacious. 

Large and practical Maxim corner sofa bed in grey or cream colour would be perfect in such an arrangement. Its simple, but at the same time elegant design will be a great match for a living room in minimalist design. This corner sofa is made of the highest quality materials, while its comfortable seat and backrest will ensure your comfort. 

Explorer corner sofa could also be an interesting element of modern living room. It is just as comfortable and functional. Wooden, tapered legs, delicate shape and stylish quilting with buttons all add a bit of light, retro touch. Warm, light beige colour, as well as beautiful and pleasant to the touch, slightly fluffy fabric will invite you to relax. Stylish Explorer corner sofa will add a touch of warm atmosphere to rugged, simple interiors, making them feel more cosy. 

Wood, white and contrasting elements in Scandinavian interiors

Interiors in Scandinavian style are tied up with nature. White colour is predominant, it’s a great match for natural wood and allows you to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Elements and colours that would work well with that include: other light and gentle tones, geometrical shapes in stronger colours and bold, black accents. 

Eaz 2-seater sofa in light grey will look perfect in a room like that. It is simple and universal in its form, while slim legs in contrasting black colour add a bit of character. This elegant sofa doesn’t need to be placed by the wall, as its back has a beautiful finish. You could add to it a corner sofa or an armchair from the same line and create a beautiful and comfortable living room set, making it a central point and a showpiece of your living room. What else do we need to emphasise the Scandinavian design of your room? Bright, decorative elements, which still need to play a useful role. Your relaxation zone could be decorated with blankets or cushions made from natural fabrics (you could consider: linen, wool, geometrical patterns, animal or plant theme), and walls could benefit from black-framed pictures. 

Zinola 3-seater sofa in a typically Scandinavian design is our next recommendation. It has slightly angled armrests and stylish, wooden legs. Its pleasant to the touch upholstery fabric in light sky blue colour will look beautiful against wooden floor and white walls. Light tones are predominant in Scandinavian interiors, but you could also use elements in darker colours. Your sky blue sofa could be decorated, for example, with dark blue cushions that would match dark blue pattern on a rug. 

Elements of Scandinavian and retro style can be successfully introduced into modern arrangements. Accents in retro style would look great in a minimalist living room. We recommend Revive sofa, which is small, has a subtle shape and stylish, angled, wooden legs. 

Interiors in modern and Scandinavian styles are simple in their shape and form, but when skilfully arranged they become very cosy and allow you to relax fully.
