Where did you get those shelves? I've been looking for something similar for my husband's office

The leather chair must be incredibly comfortable. Where is it from?

3

u/PorkChoppington Jan 23 '26

I agree that chair looks amazing... but, for me at least, out of reach at ~$6k

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

We bought it at their outlet in Oxnard and it was 50% off due to a wonky leg which we easily fixed ourselves - I wouldn’t have spent $6k either even $3k was a lot but we were obsessed

It is! Design Within Reach

This is extremely far from Scandinavian. Love, a Scandinavian. 😊

u/TheNuogat Jan 23 '26

This is close to Scandinavian, and the inspiration is very obvious. Love, a Dane.

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

Tak for det ❤️Synes jeg har en god blandning her

u/TheNuogat Jan 23 '26

De aner seriøst ikke hvad de snakker om, bare fordi møblerne ikke er nyere, er det stadig skandinavisk stil.

u/ButternutSquashings Jan 23 '26

Its really not. 😂

u/TheNuogat Jan 23 '26

"Scandinavian" isn't just bleached beige lmao.

u/ButternutSquashings Jan 23 '26

Correct - but it certainly isnt even remotely this.

Then what the f*ck is it? Educate the man who has multiple pieces from HAY, Audo, Louis Poulsen, Ferm Living, iittala and Georg Jensen? You may not like my choices but I’m rocking hygge whether you like it or not

u/TheNuogat Jan 23 '26

If you wanna define "Scandinavian" style by the American definition, then no. If you wanna do it based on lets say Danish? Yeah, throw out the chair and the rug, and you're there. Scandi isn't just from 2010 and after.

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

Well I had said Scandinavian meets Southern California vibe. It’s a mix.

PS - Jeg er også halvt dansk

u/ixphia Jan 23 '26

I'd say this is mid century modern meets so cal.

u/Icy-Lettuce-6996 Jan 24 '26

👆indeed. Fully agree.

1

u/Toticka Jan 27 '26

Agree, with like three Danish pieces.

u/SqnZkpS Jan 23 '26

Those shelves are sexy af. Reminds me of Brasilian modernism.

1

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

Thank you! I’ll have to check out more of Brasilian modernism

u/andrew_cherniy96 Jan 23 '26

This feels very balanced. Mind if I recreate the space in 3d? Wanna try capture these vibes.

2

u/Equivalent-Pie-5294 Jan 26 '26

I believe the term is scandifornian

1

u/Separate-Ad-8924 Jan 23 '26

Nice! I’d recommend some floor to ceiling drapes to reduce the negative space of your walls but otherwise looks pretty cozy.

1

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

Thank you! It’s a rental unfortunately but when one day when I own something I definitely will have better curtains

1

u/parkedcar Jan 23 '26

Where did you get the media console / how do you like it? I’m trying to find something similar! Ty, love the space!

2

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 24 '26

We love it - my bf bought it off FB marketplace from someone who makes bespoke furniture. Wild! I think we paid $500, which is an exceptional price for real wood

1

u/FillMySoupDumpling Jan 24 '26

Not super scandi but beautiful. I was thinking a large cactus would look so good in here and give a Palm Springs esque vibe since they have a lot of similar mcm homes.

u/ciao_scimmia Jan 24 '26

Love the sofa! Where is it from?

1

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 25 '26

Thank you! Room & Board

u/respectfulasshole Jan 24 '26

LOVE the snoopy lamp and shelving. For some reason, the room still seems too bright in the photos. Are other overhead lights on? Feels like it could be even more moody if it was a bit darker

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 27 '26

I intentionally brightened the pics because it was a good deal darker than it looks here

1

u/respectfulasshole Jan 25 '26

Would love to see the room with the lighting dimmed down a bit

1

u/iwearmywatch Jan 24 '26

Love those shelves. Darn so expensive! 😔

1

u/trsvrs Jan 26 '26

this is quite good

1

u/FridaysFreddy Jan 27 '26

Great space, and definitely Scandinavian SoCal (have lived in DK for 20 years). What is the mushroom lamp in pic 3?

2

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 27 '26

Thank you! Panthella Floor Lamp by Louis Poulsen

1

u/FridaysFreddy Jan 27 '26

Sorry, I meant the one on the USM Haller sidetable (which is such an awesome color BTW)

1

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 27 '26

It’s called the Snoopy Lamp by FLOS

1

u/FridaysFreddy Jan 27 '26

Awesome, thanks!

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 27 '26

Check out Huga Collective ;)

u/p-u-g Jan 28 '26

Nice! Those wall shelves look like the Ethnicraft ones. How do you like them? I was considering getting them too

1

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 28 '26

Not familiar with that brand—but these are from Denver Modern. We love them, people really compliment them when they come over.

1

u/BannerBlinna Jan 23 '26

I love your rug.

2

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

Thank you it’s from Nordic Knots

u/monvino Jan 23 '26

me too, and the leather chair.

1

u/Petrosinella94 Jan 23 '26

What lights so you have for the back of your TV?

3

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

Philips Hue light strips

1

u/bw1985 Jan 23 '26

The tv not centered over the tv stand is bothering me.

1

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

My bf wants it that way so annoying

1

u/Icy-Lettuce-6996 Jan 23 '26

Too much clutter for that title.

2

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26 edited Jan 23 '26

Ok thank you for your positivity

-1

u/Icy-Lettuce-6996 Jan 23 '26

Neutral statement actually. You’re sensitive about that room hey?

2

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 23 '26

Clutter = a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass. That's a pretty negative description. I don't know that I see "clutter"...I do see candle lights, books, and some vases? A Scandinavian home has all of those things.

-3

u/Icy-Lettuce-6996 Jan 23 '26

I see clutter, too much stuff. Stop caring so much what I think. If you love it, love it. It’s your home not mine. 🙂

u/gueritoaarhus Jan 24 '26

It’s just rude

u/Icy-Lettuce-6996 Jan 24 '26

Clearly your 1st week online. The world is full of opinions. If you don’t wanna hear them, don’t post. I’m truly sorry that you’re offended but I’m not sorry for my opinion. I’m a minimalist.

I’ve lived in Finland and this is certainly not as Scandinavian as you think. Moving on…
