Are you intrigued by the commanding return of a mob wife aesthetic? Inspired by shows such as The Sopranos and Godfather, this design style conjures sophistication and a brazen attitude for the more dramatically inclined. And with some bold decor and statement pieces, anyone can achieve this overall look. Below is a guide to incorporating a mob wife aesthetic into your already-made Scandinavian style.
One of the most important aspects of a mob wife aesthetic is the elegance and opulence that goes into the feeling of a room. Don't be afraid to go with daring choices and make a statement in the space you're creating. For example, experiment with deep red and black pieces-accented with gold and furs-to create a sense of power and strength in your primary space while still staying true to a more minimalist Nordic-inspired aesthetic.
A sofa is the first piece that pulls a guest into your space. Why not go bold with a black leather sofa as the focal point of your living room? The dramatic color and a luxurious feel of the leather will establish the look, while also keeping it simple, Scandi style. If you want to go a little further, including a deep-red accent chair will add warmth and visual intrigue, inviting guests to settle in and lounge.
Be ready, because patterns and furs are back! A mob wife aesthetic traditionally represents a lifestyle full of luxury and wealth, but patterns and faux furs are elements of Nordic-inspired style, as well. Achieving a balance between mob wife and a Scandi aesthetic is simple with throws and rugs that bring a cozy and safe feeling into your space. Don't be afraid to play with dark colors and bold patterns with these pieces as well!
You can see funky gold gracing the runway, and when it comes to accenting a room, embrace unusual shapes and unique designs. Take a page from the Scandi playbook with timeless and elegant elements like gold metal and unique pieces, not found in every home.
