A little bit of modern, Scandinavian minimalist in this apartment in this 72 sq m, 3 room apartment in Gdańsk, Poland. Thanks to photographer Agnieszka Karaś for sending us these wonderful photos. Interior design by AW WA wnętrza.
This breezy and all-white two-room apartment is the latest project sent over to Desire to Inspire by Laura Seppänen Design Agency. It's the brand new home of Stina Mäntyniemi, the head of Cosmopolitan Finland and featured recently in Deko Magazine. The client's wish was for a clean and monochrome interior. No carpets, no curtains. The Bertoia chair was though an absolute must. The look is cosy, minimalist Scandinavian with a palette of paperwhites used on walls, floors and ceilings. The existing kitchen was in a relatively good shape just updated with new cabinet doors, sink, faucet and the old door pull painted matt black. The counter top is Carrara marble. Laura incorporated the client's existing furniture with carefully selected pieces from Finland and abroad, Scandinavian classics mixed with new Nordic brands. Just like the lightbox says - I want it all.
A big thanks to Polish interior designer Iza Olszewska for sending along these photos of a 55 sq m apartment in Warsaw she designed. It has a Scandinavian vibe with bold, graphic tile and wallpaper and pretty pastel colour accents. This is super fun and bright and OMG I want that bathtub!!! (Photos: Joanna Korczynska)
When you would expect someone decorating a converted lofty school house to go the industrial route but instead they go with a classic Scandinavian/shabby chic look. Kudos to the owners of this home in Battersea, London for going against the grain on this one, and for the very impressive collection of antiques. And for the cute dog. This is really beautiful. Available as a location home through Shoot Factory.
As much as I love dark colours, this home is really beautiful in white and pretty pastels. Without a doubt it is easy on the eye and must be so relaxing to come home to after a long day. ++Scandinavian cool++. Design: Laura Melling and Portico Design Group, photos: WTFU.
