Scandinavian Furniture Store

Scandinavian design is characterized by clean lines and lack of clutter. Think monochromatic colors, walls with minimal or even no trim, bare necessities in decoration. The key to a true Scandinavian styled room is to begin by removing everything from it, and only adding back in what is absolutely necessary. Achieving prominence in the mid 1950’s, this style of interior design holds strong throughout the years. Scandinavian furniture has many traits in common with Mid-Century design. Therefore, it can often be mixed and matched with a mid-century style, which makes Scandinavian furniture very versatile to the interior designer. Because of its versatility and age-defying vitality, Scandinavian furniture is a sought after style by many who want timeless pieces that can be used throughout the years and styles. At Ambiente Furniture we are proud to offer a wide variety of Scandinavian pieces at our showrooms in Raleigh and Asheville.

Here are a few examples of truly Scandinavian style furniture pieces that you can bring home today to create the perfect minimalistic look, or mix into your mid-century or bohemian style home seamlessly. 

We love this dining chair when styling a classically Scandinavian style dining room, breakfast nook, or even home office. The light oak wood falls perfectly into a monochromatic, light, and airy color scheme. The curved lines have a very natural feel that both pleases the eye of the minimalist, as well as brings nature inside for the bohemian enthusiast. Styled with a matching oak table and neutral walls, this chair can keep the crisp cleanness Scandinavian designs are known for. Alternatively, paired with green plants, floral fabrics, and eclectic pieces, this chair quickly becomes a staple piece in a bohemian style home. 

Another seating option we think perfectly fits into a clean Scandinavian design is this minimalistic sofa. With its clean lines, simple profile, and neutral fabric choices, this sofa can easily fit into multiple rooms without demanding too much attention or becoming an eyesore. Comfort and function is always key in any Scandinavian design; each piece earns its keep in a minimal room. Styled in “grey Aurora” color, imagine a living room with light oak, eggshell walls, this sofa, and black and white photos. That is the epitome of Scandinavian minimalism. 

To combat the coldness of some minimalistic designs, Scandinavian style is extremely intentional in adding warmth through fabric textures, lighting, and nature. Short pile, texture rather than color, and high-quality natural material are some of the important characteristics of a truly Scandinavian rug like this one. With this, you can add some needed warmth while still keeping the calming effect of minimalism in the design. 

One of the most important aspects of Scandinavian furniture, and one of the reasons we love it so much, is that it can so easily stand on its own as its individual style, or fit into so many other style aesthetics seamlessly as a strong, well-made, timeless piece.
