Are you looking for some furniture to make a new home liveable and loveable? If you’ve already started your search, you probably came across special sections or even entire stores dedicated to Danish furniture. So, what’s all that fuzz about? Well, it may have something to do with the fact that Danish furniture and Scandinavian design, in general, have gained a lot of popularity worldwide, even here on the opposite side of the globe. Here are some of the reasons why Danish furniture has developed such a large following which may entice you as well.
Functional and Simple
You won’t find any Danish seating or other furniture covered in excessive details, carvings, or featuring exotic materials. Instead, Danish is minimalist and straightforward – designed to be functional above all. So, often you can find one piece of Danish furniture built to serve multiple purposes, like for instance a sofa with built-in storage space underneath. Tables, chairs and sofas are compact, sometimes adjustable, and never larger than they should be, which makes them a great solution for modern homes that tend to shrink in size. Plus, the neutral colours and clean lines of the furniture help make the space feel more open and airy. This unique simplicity of Danish furniture allows it to blend in any space and look stylish year after year.
Inviting and Comfortable
Originating in the country where the concept of hygge is worshipped like a religion, Danish furniture is built for comfort. Let’s take for instance Danish seating. Danish designed sofas and armchairs, although compact, are characterised by their broad seats and contoured backs. This allows you to assume a relaxed seating position. Danish seating also often features voluminous cushioning that helps you maintain a good posture. What’s more, many armchairs and sofas also come with matching ottomans to increase your comfort by allowing you to prop up your feet.
Long-lasting
Danish furniture is timeless in two aspects. While its simplicity guarantees that it never goes out of style, its craftsmanship guarantees longevity. Heavily drawing inspiration from nature, Danish furniture is built from raw, natural materials. Danish bed frames, shelving, chairs and tables are made of quality hardwoods such as oak, maple or walnut which are known to resist wear and tear with grace. What’s more, you get this quality for less. Due to the clean lines, simplicity and compact design, Danish furniture uses less material than something that’s bulky and ornate.
