Scandinavian-Inspired Furniture For A Minimalist But Cozy Home

We used to think minimalist, organized interiors meant sparse, empty spaces — until we were introduced to Scandinavian furniture. The region's interior style relies on simple pieces with clean aesthetics while embracing the Danish notion of hygge, which is all about creating cozy, welcoming spaces of contentment. It also often incorporates mid-century style shapes, which might be why we can't stop pinning the style to all our home mood boards. Now, you can turn your Scandi interior dreams into reality with these online furniture finds that don't require an all-day trek to IKEA.
