How do you choose the ideal Scandinavian chair for your interior?

You can see Scandinavian style again and again everywhere. In store windows, magazines, on TV and even in the interior of one of your friends, this style has become universal! Since then, you have completely fallen for Nordic design which is both trendy and clean. So you have decided to bring a Scandinavian air into your home.

But you still have to choose the furniture that will go with your interior. In this article, Diiiz will give you some tips which will hopefully help you in your choice of the ideal Scandinavian chair!

Scandinavian style is distinguished by its soft lines as well as the use of neutral tones and line woods. This Nordic design reveals an atmosphere of health and elegance. In order to guide you towards the ideal model of chair, Diiiz highlights a few fundamental points.

What are the criteria to consider when choosing my Scandinavian design chair?

1. What material should I choose for my Scandinavian chair?

Yes, the material that you choose for your Scandinavian chairs is an important step! Between fabric, plastic, velvet, wood or rattan, you have to be able to identify the material that will be both practical and aesthetic. Choose according to your lifestyle.

For example, for the sake of maintenance, choose a plastic or leather seat. If you have young children, fabric or velvet chairs can stain faster. However, the new Diiiz synthetic fabrics have become easier to wash than 20 years ago. So if you are a fan of fabric, don’t worry!

For a warm interior, opt for a fabric or a wood seat which will add character to your décor.

From an aesthetic viewpoint and for a more modern look, opt instead for plastic or leather.

2. How to choose your Scandinavian chair according to the space of the room.

In order to create a harmonious effect in your room, you have to pay attention to the style and space available. For smaller spaces, opt for chairs with simple lines and without visual overload. Armrests are also not advised in order to ensure optimum space saving. Additionally, they will slip easily under your table, unlike chairs with armrests.

If the space in the room is large enough, don’t hesitate to select models of chairs which are more elaborate.

3. Which colour and style should my Scandinavian chair be?

It seems logical, but it’s a pivotal criteria. Colour has an important role in the choice of your Scandinavian chairs. This is what will determine if the look matches the whole room! Originally, Nordic chairs were only available in black or white. Today, numerous colours and combinations are available, offering a vast range of possibilities. Between grey, beige, blue, green and even mustard yellow, you will be spoiled for choice!
