We take note of the ideas from Scandinavian apartments, how to correctly combine several functional zones in a small area.

1 Bright interior with contrasting details

This interior is built on a combination of white and natural shades. This tandem allows you to maintain a balance between a “clean” bright space and home comfort, which is created by warm natural tones. For the same reason, even a small room with a lot of furniture and functional areas does not look overloaded.

Black was added as a contrasting shade. It was used pointwise to create a certain rhythm in the interior. This active color organically fits into the room thanks to the light finish and good illumination. Also, they did not make blind partitions here, the recreation and cooking area, the dining group, the sleeping place are located in one open space.

2 Kitchen-living room with a bright set and retro notes

The interior of this kitchen-living room was decorated with the addition of bright shades and colorful details. The set in the cooking area is a delicate blue shade that looks good with the neutral palette of the living room space. This combination adds freshness to the room and at the same time visually separates the two zones.

The character of the interior is given by small but bright accents. For example, a dining table. This is a classic “book” that can be laid out and assembled depending on the number of seats that are needed. Vintage furniture brings a certain history to the interior, makes it unique and more voluminous. And the chrome-plated glossy elements in the lamps and the base of the table add grandeur to the kitchen-living room.

3 Cozy interior with semicircular kitchen

The interior of this room is decorated in the best traditions of Scandinavian style: white walls and ceiling, a large window with sunlight pouring out of it, a minimum of furniture and open storage. Despite the limited area, a large shelving was conveniently placed in the living room area, on which the owners arranged a home library. We chose a light model with thin crossbars so that the storage system does not look too massive. The hob is interestingly located. It is not located on the main line of the headset, as it usually happens, but next to it, on the bar counter, which is the boundary between the kitchen area and the living room space.

Thanks to the small amount of furniture and things in general, the modest-sized room looks inviting and seems quite spacious. Live plants and posters were used as decorative elements here.

4 Bright space with bright textiles

This sun-drenched kitchen-living room looks very light and airy, filled with air. This effect is created by a light color scheme and free space in the center of the room. To make the room not seem faceless, bright details were added to the interior. Among them, for example, a geometric pattern on the floor covering in the cooking area and contrasting wall tiles (this effect was obtained thanks to a dark grout on a light tile). The shelf-rack on the wall and the dining table are made of rich red wood, which makes them look very bright. Accents were also added using colored textiles in the recreation area.

5 Kitchen-living room in beautiful milky shades

The combined kitchen-living room is decorated in a neutral color scheme, which consists mainly of warm creamy-milky shades. Natural lighting, a large amount of textiles made of natural fabrics, the bright texture of the carpet on the floor all this creates a classic picture of the interior at the junction of scandi and eco-style. There is not much furniture, and it is all simple shapes, so even a small space does not seem cluttered. And the cream-colored kitchen set practically does not stand out against the background of light walls.
