Modern Vintage: a stylish oxymoron for your living room

Bringing modern Scandinavian furniture together with sumptuous knitted blankets and deep pile rugs can create a whole new look for your living room. The oxymoron of the modern vintage style is bang on trend and can easily be created by combining a minimalist interior design and a neutral colour scheme with white living room furniture and vintage home décor. If you love the Scandinavian concept of hygge you could add a knitted pouffe or retro cushions to add warmth to your living room and create a cosy feel.

The products below have been carefully selected from our wonderful Modern Vintage collection to help you get the look and give you some cosy living room design inspiration.

1. Stockholm Two Seater Sofa

The Stockholm sofa is the epitome of Scandinavian furniture design. With a finished Birchwood frame and comfy double seat upholstered in hard wearing grey fabric, this is a fantastic piece to start your hygge makeover.

2. Wycombe retro coffee table

We love this modern vintage oak centrepiece which is retro in design and shows a typical example of a chic and sleek Scandinavian coffee table.

3. Benni rug

Imagine your feet sinking into the deep pile of this African inspired rug. The colours of the piece will fit into any monochrome living room and will particularly compliment vintage furniture.
