Danish armchairs are streamlined and attractive, making them perfect for the conversational seating area of your living room. For aesthetics and functionality, these chair types are best placed on an angle next to each other, in front of a coffee table.
When designing your living room with a Scandinavian style in mind, note that the characteristics are minimalistic. A Scandinavian living room never looks cluttered because of how sparsely the furniture is placed. Refrain from assigning Danish armchairs to cramped spaces or near other furniture. You should be able to walk around them easily.
You may choose to use a single Danish armchair as an accent piece in your living room, in which case you can place it adjacent to the loveseat, on an angle, so that the room is optimized for conversation among guests.
Danish armchairs are built for comfort despite their highly stylized designs, with many models featuring an ergonomic backrest and thickly padded seat.
Often made with a polished teak frame that supports upholstered cushions, Danish armchairs have a sleek and elegant look that is ideal for modern, minimal homes. To find the most comfortable Danish armchair, look for features including a curved wingback-style backrest or a contoured seat and armrests. You can also find some styles which come with lumbar cushions for lower back support, or headrests, making them a great armchair or reading or napping.
Seat cushions should offer at least 4” of polyester or memory foam padding and opt for cotton microfiber, linen, or wool upholstery fabric for optimal breathability.
