1 | Visualizer: LVI StudioThis first space is a bright and spacious loft-style apartment. The main living area is overall simple, with common, friendly elements like indoor house plants and a cushy sofa.
2 |However, the Scandinavian elements are also apparent right away, most clearly in the stunning, minimalist chairs chosen to create a conversation space in the common area.
3 |The open plan from kitchen to living room to dining make the apartment feel large, while loft-style windows let in plenty of natural light.
4 |But even in a somewhat minimalist design, personality shines through in elements like a starburst light fixture or a carefully tablescaped coffee table.
5 |Tall ceilings with beam elements are enviable while the arrangement of furnishings still gives the overall effect of coziness, which is certainly important in the Scandinavian style and culture.
6 |By placing decorative elements on the floor rather than on shelving, the walls are kept mostly bare and the ceiling feel even taller and more regal.
7 |The Scandinavian style chairs in the dining area are a beautiful complement to those in the living room, taking on many of the same shapes but in a lovely wood construction.
8 |The bedrooms are perhaps the simplest spaces in the apartment, again with mostly bare walls and not much square footage. Cozy bedding textures and a spring or two of greenery is all you need to find a peaceful night’s sleep in here.
9 |The small bedrooms do benefit from plenty of natural light, which both the occupant and the petite planters benefit from.
10 |Even a nursery can take advantage of the simplicity of the Scandinavian style, with carefully chosen toys and just a bit of warm decoration.
11 |A white and gray bathroom with a deep tub finishes this particular apartment. Simple, clean, and modern.
12 | Visualizer: Thi CaoThis next apartment has a more traditional home design, moving away from the loft style. Yet, the space still shared many elements with the first apartment, such as the inclusion of plant stands and a comfortable couch.
13 |The white and gray color scheme is certainly simple and easy to understanding, with splashes of natural green throughout.
14 |The use of unique coffee tables like these round, nesting tables is modern but also practical, giving more surfaces for resting drinks or books.
15 |The dining room pendants in use here complement the kitchen pendants over the breakfast bar and add a warm glow to the space.
16 |Wooden kitchen bar stools with black accents draw the eye to the uniquely patterned floor in the kitchen — a fun and daring element in an otherwise simple design.
17 |A closer view of the unique kitchen pendant lights shows that they are a bit offset from one another and do not match exactly, which adds a bit of whimsy to their effect.
18 | Visualizer: Aleksandr AndreychikovThe next apartment is a nice bridge between the first two. It does feature elements of a loft (including an actual lofted space) but also brings to mind the simplicity and warmth of a more traditional space.
19 |The use of the timeless Eames Eiffel Chair in the dining space may not be groundbreaking, but the pretty colors chosen are certainly nice.
20 |In the kitchen unique wall shelves are both practical and lovely, certainly in line with the Scandinavian ideals.
21 |The stairway up to the lofted bedroom is a bit sturdier than some of the loft entries that we see, which is nice.
22 | Unique vases always add an artistic touch to a home and can be filled with virtually any color depending on the season.
23 |Of course, no home would be complete with a warm and welcoming place to break bread.
24 | Visualizer: Tu Nguyen HoangThe next apartment uses many elements of the Scandinavian style, including natural wood, cool, neutral tones, and clean lines. In the living area, a Swiss cheese plant really livens things up.
25 |Floor lamps are a good way to give homeowners some choice in how a space is lit. The AJ Floor Lamp is a good, simple example.
26 |The use of mirrors in the entryway is both practical (making sure your hair looks all right before going out) and design-friendly (making a small hallway feel much bigger).
27 |A white tile bathroom with a caged bulb pendant light is a perfect serene way to finish this home tour.
28 | Source: Erik OlssonThe last apartment takes us back to the stark white with black contrast look that is somewhat common in the Scandinavian style.
29 |An Areca Palm in the living room gives just a subtle hint at tropical.
30 |The light wood floors are almost an afterthought but have quite a bit of character in this space.
31 |White cabinets act as the perfect perch for plants and a few trinkets.
32 |Glass wall separate the bedroom from the rest of the apartment, giving the illusion of more space and possibility of more privacy.
33 |Natural light is allowed to flood in from two directions with the glass walled design, even though the room itself is quite small it feels large.
34 |Cool grey walls are a welcoming, cozy color for a small bedroom.
35 |The dining are features large wall clocks as well as other rustic elements from a wood table to amber glass lights.
36 |Indeed, the dining room is a bit industrial style with its use of these black chairs and exposed wiring. The industrial style lighting is quite chic and modern.
37 |The kitchen is not nearly so industrial, with white cabinetry and wood countertops.
38 |A black and white tiled bathroom is small but also modern and perfect for this not-so-spacious apartment.
