A modern Scandi living room – small but family-sized!

Dreaming of a modern Scandi living room that makes the most of your small space? Here, clever storage ideas – including pinewood cabinets concentrated against one wall – keep clutter away. While flexible furniture, like the modular sofa, helps create a relaxing haven where a family can enjoy doing things together.

Create a sofa with a shape that suits you

As well as being comfortable, LILLEHEM sofas are modular. So you can put together your choice of sections to get the combination that suits you and your space. Even when your space is small. If you feel like it, you can change to a different shape, too.

Clutter-busting storage and Scandi style

IVAR units provide lots of storage space behind calming closed doors. We’ve made them more personal by painting white stripes on the pinewood. A basket keeps cosy little extras ready for use. Light-coloured natural materials like bamboo and pine, strong, simple patterns – all strengthen the Scandi style, too.

Why not soften up your shared space?

The room’s small but there’s still space to put your feet up and have fun together. Extra textiles, like the cushion with the playful ODDNY cover and the VALLKRASSING throw, add comfort and cosiness. And the handwoven wool RASTPLATS rug makes the floor softer to sit on while you wait for the train to arrive.

Instant upgrades in comfort, cosiness and style

Here are a few textile suggestions to add to your big bag of Nordic living room ideas. Enjoy!

A handy table made safer for kids

With its clean design and simple, rectangular shape, a TUNSTA side table fits perfectly into this modern Scandi living room. The shelf under the top gives you extra storage to help keep clutter under control – especially handy in a small room like here. We’ve put UNDVIKA corner bumpers on the corners. They’re easy to stick on to table edges and corners to reduce the risk of children getting hurt.

Relaxing and refreshing

Light-coloured wood, white and elements from nature are big parts of this modern Scandi look. Here, the POÄNG armchair helps create the style as well as providing relaxing, supportive seating. The white curtains and shelves add freshness, with the flowers and vase kept out of children’s reach on the top shelf.

Small but big enough – a flexible, Scandi room for everyone

It’s small but this living room always feels like there’s enough space for everyone. These IVAR units provide a lot of storage to keep clutter away and their blond wood helps set the Scandi style. The look is strengthened by using bold geometric patterns like here in this RASTPLATS rug. And flexible furniture, like the modular LILLEHEM sofa or the GLADOM tray table, makes it easy to adapt things to the different activities of everyday life.
