Designing Your Living Room with an Aesthetic in Mind: A Guide for Singapore Homes

Your living room is more than a place to relax—it’s the heart of your home and a reflection of your personal style. In Singapore, where space is precious and interior design is often driven by function, creating a cohesive and beautiful aesthetic is the key to making your living room feel intentional, inviting, and uniquely yours. At Danish Design Co, we offer a thoughtfully curated selection of furniture across multiple design aesthetics, including Mid-Century Modern, Japandi, and Bauhaus, helping you create a space that feels timeless and personal.

Why Design with a Defined Aesthetic?

Designing your living room around a specific aesthetic brings clarity and cohesion. Rather than mixing mismatched pieces and styles, a defined aesthetic allows your furniture, lighting, and décor to work together harmoniously. This is especially important in Singapore, where smaller spaces can feel cluttered without a clear visual language.

Popular Living Room Aesthetics at Danish Design Co

At Danish Design Co Singapore, we carry authentic, high-end Scandinavian furniture that suits a variety of aesthetics—from minimalist to bold, from serene to sculptural. These styles not only look stunning but are also built with longevity and craftsmanship in mind.

Explore These Popular Aesthetics:

  • Mid-Century Modern: Characterised by organic shapes, tapered legs, and timeless wood finishes. Think Eilersen sofas, Fredericia coffee tables, and Gubi lounge chairs.
  • Japandi: A fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth. Clean lines, low profiles, and neutral tones create a peaceful, uncluttered space.
  • Bauhaus-Inspired: Geometric shapes, functional design, and a hint of industrial edge. This style works well in modern Singapore apartments and bold interiors.

Each aesthetic tells a different story, but all share a commitment to simplicity, function, and beauty—values at the core of Danish and Scandinavian design.

Tips for Designing a Living Room Around a Specific Aesthetic

  • Choose a hero piece: Start with one statement item (a sofa, lounge chair, or sideboard) that embodies the aesthetic you want.
  • Stick to a consistent material palette: Use wood, metal, fabric, and colours that support your theme.
  • Limit your colour scheme: A focused colour palette keeps your space unified and calm.
  • Add lighting as sculpture: Choose pendant lights or floor lamps that match the form language of your chosen style.
  • Edit regularly: Less is more. Remove items that don’t serve your aesthetic or function.

However, not a single detail has been missed when designing the Pon. Its humble size allows it to be used as a sofa table or with a low chair. Its solid material makes it a perfect table not just for the home interior, but for art galleries, hotel lobbies and public lounge area as well.

We are returned customers of Danish Design, bought their sofa for our first home in 2012 which lasted almost so many years. Recently we bought a new sofa here again and the service (both pre and post sales) / quality are still great, if not better :)

We recently received a beautiful Juul sofa set and are so happy with it. Although the wait was a long one (about 30 weeks due to shipping delays - Covid related) it was well worth the wait. From start to finish we were well looked after by the team at Danish design, who always updated us on our shipment. The delivery guys were super friendly and helpful too!

My fiancée and I were searching for modern furniture pieces that not only look beautiful but also are practical. Danish Design ticked all the boxes - superb comfort and aesthetics value, a decent variety of different furniture lines, and staff who are willing to take their time to explain the pieces to you. For many of their sofa lines, they have a wide array of different fabrics (and colours) to suit your lifestyle (eg, warmer or cooler materials). We ended up getting a Bolia couch and a Skovby dining table - wish we had gotten more! Definitely will return again
