1. The play of light
The design concept of the apartment, presented as the first example in our selection, was developed by architects Anna & Eugeni Bach. The main emphasis here is on the importance of light in the Scandinavian interior. Designers managed to find at least one striking modernist solution. We are talking about the amazing ceiling, which "weaves the narrative" between bright light and shadow.
During the restoration of the premises, it was possible to remove and restore the old floor tile. Subsequently, it was used to create dividing strips, which gave an excellent effect.

2. More vibrant colors
The next room is a bit more colorful. Bright colors have always been appreciated in this style, as they help to cope with depression and despondency during long Scandinavian winters. Therefore, when decorating, it makes sense to use bright colors as much as possible - they increase the vitality and dynamism of space.
The proper organization of storage spaces is one of the paramount tasks of designers involved in interior design in the Scandinavian style. These integrated shelves look especially natural here.
This apartment is a great illustration of the fact that not everything in the Scandinavian interior should come from Scandinavia. For example, here is a mirror from the French designer Jacques Adnet, and the rightmost chair is from Fabio Bortolani.
At the same time decorating the room remains quite simple.
Behind the classic storage spaces is a beautifully decorated wall, decorated with huge newspaper clippings.
The kitchen looks impressive, but at the same time it is home-like. Spice jars and plates on open shelves give the room its own character, its own personality.
