The focal point in the living room consists of the sofa, armrest chairs, and the drop-leaf table. This style is known as Swedish Karl Johan, influenced by the French Empire Style and German Biedermeir.

The Karl Johan style in Sweden evolved to be simpler and more subdued. Instead of using brass fittings like in the Empire style, the wood itself was intricately carved. The furniture gained armrests and curved backs, providing better seating comfort.

All the pieces of furniture are uniform, crafted from the same type of wood and in the same style. During the 1800s, the sofa group became a cohesive unit with soft and comfortable seating, allowing it to remain in the room permanently. Previously, furniture was moved around as needed and placed back against the walls after use.
