Before the start of the renovation, customers repeatedly visited exhibitions in Stockholm and have already selected items that should have been in the interior. Such things were chairs from Fritz Hansen, lamps by Louis Poulsen, a Shell chair by Hans J. Wegner and a stool from Artek.

A spacious apartment with large windows and balconies has become an ideal space for the chosen style with a harmonious combination of warmth, comfort, minimalism and functionality typical of Scandinavian interiors.

The entire interior is built on shades of white with additional accent colors. Natural and maximally eco-friendly materials combined with the textures of fabrics and open textures of wood gave the rooms a variety. Similar to the interiors of old houses in Stockholm and Copenhagen, the lower part of the bedroom walls are lined with wooden paneled panels that echo the decoration of the doors.

The large public area includes a kitchen with an island, a dining room and a sofa area with a wonderful view of the city center. Customers love to cook and one of the important stages was the elaboration of the kitchen. The absence of overhead lockers above the work area compensates for the functional island, so that the spacious kitchen does not seem cumbersome.

Lighting was a separately thought-out part of the apartment. Scandinavian-style minimal ceiling lighting is complemented by floor lamps and table lamps, which create a special comfort.

There is quite a lot of free space left in the apartment, which will eventually be filled with accessories and furniture, because the Scandinavian interior should change over time, reflecting the lifestyle and preferences of the owners of the house. A collection of plates and small paintings that can be rearranged depending on the mood or replenishment of the collection has already been placed on the bookshelves on the entire wall and decorative shelves in the piers between the windows. And, of course, upon completion of the renovation, the furniture originally chosen by the owners turned out to be truly at home!
