Homeowners love the Scandinavian look because of its simplicity, charm and laid-back ‘Hygge’-ness. But when done wrongly, a Scandinavian style home can end up looking untidy, haphazard and ‘neither-here-nor-there’.
Luckily, the homeowners of this apartment flat, a young couple, engaged design studio The Minimalist Society to help turn their new house into a cosy home.
Soothing Colour Palette
What the interior design team was first to propose a soothing colour palette, filled with plenty of neutral, muted tones.
This is complemented by the use of light wood textures.
As this is a new family unit, the team also included a lot of storage solutions to help the growing family with their storage needs.

Living Room
To make the living area feel bigger, the design team created a floating TV console.
By doing away with the legs, the living space immediately feels lighter and more spacious. This leads to the dining area behind.

Bathroom
The design of the toilet was kept simple and with a plain black and white format to create a modern and chic look.

Light Pink Wall
In the living room, a light pink colour was used to create a triangular section on the feature wall.
This helps the sofa, in soft baby blue hue, to stand out prominently. What a neat trick!

Baby Pink Wall Paint
The same pink tone is used on other walls in the rooms, creating a cohesive look throughout.

Wall Niche
A customised shelf unit was actually designed to be integrated into the plaster wall, making the whole design of the home look exclusive and well-planned.

Dining Table Light
A long hanging pendant lamp above the dining table helps to visually extend the sides of the dining area, making the space feel open and inviting.

Kitchen Cabinets
The white colour extends into the kitchen area, bringing the cabinetry together nicely with the rest of the home.
The backsplash along the counter is also similar to the colour of the flooring, resulting in a really rustic and earthy feel, which is perfect coming home to.
