As we journey further into 2025, it’s clear that Scandinavian design is still in focus. However, it does continues to evolve, gently shifting from its traditionally pared-back aesthetic to something softer, warmer, and more emotionally supportive. I’d say the Swedes were always good at the farmhouse cozy vibe, with sunken sofas and cozy chairs, yet Danish homes always felt, at least to me, more strict and a lot less comfy from the homes of their Swedish neighbors. Yet today, for all of Scandinavian, the focus seems to be, more than ever, on comfort-centric spaces which means rooms that don’t just look beautiful, but that truly feel good to live in.

In many ways, we’re moving beyond the “less is more” philosophy or chairs that look great but cannot be enjoyed for longer than a quick meal. We want furniture that we can linger in.. Now, it’s about choosing pieces with purpose and that feel cozy. It’s about asking, Does this make me feel good? Safe? Calm? Inspired?
