A blue velvet couch or sofa is maybe not the first thing that pops into your mind when thinking of a Scandinavian styled home. But maybe that’s the fun part, isn’t it? A glamorous blue shiny sofa is maybe the surprise factor you need to stop it from being a simple copy of all the Scandinavian interiors that you know.

Fashion blogger Carolina Engman shared a picture (above) of her blue velvet sofa online a while ago and I believe she styled her living room perfectly. Thanks to the minimalistic yet chic bras Flos lamp on the side and the simple white walls, chairs and rug it has just the feeling that I like. One thing that I would do differently, is the coffee table combination. I would choose for a nice wooden piece.

Below some more couches that I like.
