2024's Top 10: Scandinavian Living Room Designs

Scandinavian interior design is celebrated for its simplicity, functionality, and timeless beauty. This style embraces neutral tones, natural materials, and clean lines, creating spaces that feel bright, cozy, and effortlessly stylish. Its understated elegance makes it the perfect choice for modern living rooms, especially when the goal is to maximize light, space, and comfort.

Below, we rank 10 living room designs from various cities, showcasing how Scandinavian style can transform homes. Each setup balances aesthetics and functionality, enhancing the unique features of the space while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

10. Boston, MA

This small Boston apartment featured stunning floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. We kept the design minimal to let the view remain the focal point. Our team selected an oval oak wood double pedestal dining table paired with six Milo dining chairs in ash wood and Savile Flax fabric for the dining area. For the living room, we added the Caitlin sofa in neutral tones to create a cohesive, open atmosphere.

 9. San Francisco, CA

In this spacious family living room, we embraced a boho-Scandinavian vibe. To keep the design simple yet inviting, we used a Carmelo light oak square coffee table as the center piece, surrounded by a pure white chenille sofa and light grey upholstered armchairs with antique oak finishes. A few earthy-toned throw pillows added warmth and character to the space.

8. Austin, TX

This Austin home had striking dark-framed windows, and we wanted to highlight them. We incorporated two ivory and black accent chairs to draw attention to the window frames, while an oak sideboard with terracotta accents added a warm touch. A chenille L-shaped sectional sofa in white with an accent pillow matching the sideboard’s tones complemented the space, with an elm wood coffee table tying everything together.

 7. Montreal, QC

For this naturally lit Montreal apartment, we removed the existing furniture and created a peaceful, natural look. Bright tones and simple art pieces set the stage. The Angle modular sofa in ivory softened the room, while the oval acacia wood double pedestal dining table surrounded by six ash walnut chairs added elegance and functionality.

 6. Vancouver, BC

This Vancouver home offered abundant light and impressive city views. We chose a rectangular pine wood dining table paired with six oak curved-back chairs for the dining area. In the living room, two black metal-framed occasional chairs, a dark grey oval coffee table, and a white chenille L-shaped sectional sofa created a seamless and stylish look.

5. Miami, FL

With its open-concept design and floor-to-ceiling windows, this Miami home was perfect for a bright, airy Scandinavian touch. Our team added ash wood Hunter stools to the kitchen island and Kennedy dining armchairs around a natural oak dining table. In the living area, two Nordic-style ochre yellow armchairs brought energy and contrast, balancing the warm tones throughout the home.

4. Dallas, TX

This Dallas home had expansive windows that demanded an elegant yet grounded design. We centered the space with a round drum-shaped mango wood coffee table, surrounded by two cozy armchairs and a double-bumper sectional sofa in ivory fabric. The result was a balanced, inviting layout that made the room feel even larger.

We used two rubber wood armchairs upholstered in cozy white wool in front of a solid hardwood oak coffee table. A Caitlin sofa in matching tones and a large white carpet framed the space, elevating its natural elegance.

2. Montreal, QC

This high-rise Montreal apartment combined comfort and sophistication. We arranged a light beige modular sectional sofa for a relaxed yet chic feel and complemented it with a stone-top nesting coffee table. In the dining area, we selected an oval oak wood double pedestal dining table with six Milo dining chairs for continuity between spaces.

1. Toronto, ON

Taking first place is this sun-filled Toronto apartment with its striking floor-to-ceiling windows. To enhance the natural light, we used Osso counter stools in dark brown and a cave TV unit to add depth and contrast. A round drum-shaped mango wood coffee table, a four-piece boucle sectional sofa, and two ivory boucle ottomans completed the look, creating a cozy yet elegant living room.
