Some examples of Scandinavian furniture include:

- Grey sofas - these neutral-coloured sofas can blend in with any decor and will match any splash of colour you decide to throw on them.
- Wishbone chairs - these chairs were inspired by the thrones used by Chinese Emperors and got their nickname from the wishbone design that makes up the back of the chair.
- Tulip tables - these tables get their name because of the shape of the legs. The tulip table has clean lines and simple aesthetics and can be used in any room of the house. These are generally what is used as coffee tables in Scandinavian living rooms.
