Scandi Coffee Tables Explained: Which Design Suits Your Lifestyle?
Scandinavian coffee tables share a clear set of qualities: pale natural wood, simple forms, gentle curves and a focus on practicality. Yet within that style there are several distinct designs, and each suits a different way of living. In this guide we explain the main types, from tapered leg oval tables and slatted two level designs to low block tables, round pedestal styles and pieces that combine wood with white or black details. We look at the woods most associated with Scandi design, how finish affects durability and which shapes work best for families, couples, home workers and people living in small flats. You will also find advice on sizing, storage and pairing a Scandi table with rugs, lighting and seating, plus how the style relates to Japandi. By the end you should have a clear idea of which Scandi coffee table fits your home and routine, rather than simply the one that looks good in a photograph....
