Summer Escape:  Scandinavian Entertainment Room

Are you looking to create a perfect and cozy living room? If yes - Scandinavian home décor is the perfect muse. This design is warm, welcoming, and comforting, sleek and modern, a perfect amalgamation for millennials. Our interior designers at Spacejoy focus on textures and light, airy hues - a design with decor that perfectly lightens up any living space, no matter how big or small the room's size. Scandinavian is a sister to minimalism – focusing on what is essential and clean-lined that doesn’t bring in clutter. A Scandinavian living room boasts white walls, a neutral heavy pallet with just pops of color, natural textures like wood and stone, carpets, no-fuss layouts, and bare wooden floors. Some of our Scandinavian collections also focus on painted brick walls with rough textures and large windows welcoming natural light. Here is our collection page, which features some of our favorite Scandinavian-inspired living rooms. 

The Scandinavian living room design embraces nature with its mix of neutral colors, patterns, and wood tones. The furniture pieces are neutral in color, with patterns and textures layered on top to bring interest to the design. The Dillon coffee table displays a handcrafted cylinder floating on a recessed base of bronzed iron which brings riveting visual attention to the living room. Twin armchairs in leather sit opposite to the sectional.  Above the upholstered sofa, an oversized abstract print in monochrome hue brings character to space. Overall, this Scandinavian atmosphere is simple, cozy, and welcoming.

Truth be told, there's a bit of everything in this living room design, but it all makes sense with the right elements. From afar, you get a modern urban aesthetic with mid-century touches. Still, you'll notice some small eclectic features and Scandinavian shapes for a truly unique living room space if you see closely. Two rugs are used to help define the areas. A pair of comfortable armchairs and a beautiful brass arch lamp create an intimate conversation zone in front of the fireplace, which can easily be shifted slightly for larger social gatherings. Soft upholstered ottomans provide both table surfaces and additional seating options; the round cushioned surfaces are great for kids. The artwork features abstract forms and a neutral color palette to bring back that urban modern design aesthetic we wanted for the whole room. 

We usually don't think of a living room and music room together, but this space is proof that you can make it happen. When designing this space, we chose mostly modern Scandinavian furniture pieces to keep a streamlined look that didn't feel overwhelming. Instead of focusing on wall decor, we held our options minimalistic while letting the music instruments become the show's star. Both the sofa and accent chair serve as the perfect hanging spot for family and friends to listen to your jam sessions. Plus, to keep everything simplified, we choose small ottomans that can double as accent tables or additional seating space and the C-side table from West Elm that won't take up too much space and still be functional. 

To create this modern-looking studio apartment living room, we started with a monochromatic color palette that could help us make the room appear more spacious.  To find versatile and functional pieces, we sourced products from West Elm, Pottery Barn, and IKEA with a Scandinavian influence. It was paramount to choose a sofa that would convert to a sleeping sofa if needed for visitors or improved comfort while watching a movie marathon. The ottomans are innovative accessories that make the room feel more grounded, while also serving as additional seating space if needed. It was essential to integrate the kitchen area into this living room design, which is why we chose a tall barstool-style table and matching bar stools to offer a place for dining without taking up much walking space. To make the living room feel warmer, we opted for natural wood accents and pops of greenery to cut the cold and sterile aesthetic from the rest of the decor. 

In this airy, Scandinavian inspired Entertainment room, the color palette is soft ivories, creams with touches of whiskey leather and saffron throw pillows.   The cream and gray wool rug is soft underfoot and add a sophistication to the space without overpowering other pieces.   The ivory finished media console is large enough to house a large flat screen and provide ample media storage.  The long L shaped sectional provides plenty of room to stretch out and watch your favorite film or game.  The coffee table is a sleek round modern rattan pieces that adds contrast to the otherwise monochrome look, with a mini fridge tucked in the right corner for snacks and beverages.   The large vintage style white mirror and ivory ceramic beaded light add a modern coastal feel.
