Scandinavian style apartment design examples

 

1. The play of light

The design concept for 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.

Therefore, when decorating, it makes sense to use bright colors as much as possible - they increase the vitality and dynamism of space.
