Featuring a cottage-like interior, this homely apartment presents touches of greenery amidst a sea of calm neutrals.
Known for the peaceful atmosphere that it possesses, the Scandinavian look enjoys much popularity among local homeowners, due to its highly-prized qualities of tranquillity and simplicity.
In this 4-room BTO flat that serves as a humble abode for two, interior designer Dan Wu of Dan’s Workshop presents his own take on the much loved concept with the help of a predominantly neutral colour scheme, which lends the space an air of serenity.
“Initially, the owners were unsure about the type of decor style for their home, so I proposed adopting a Scandi-cottage design as it would give the space a cosy, rustic feel that closely matches their preferences,” says Dan.
This decision to go with a Scandi-cottage look eventually culminated in a home that is modern and clean. Sporting a tidy-looking interior, the living room is replete with neutral shades that lend it a relaxed feel. Here, rough grey Formica laminates used for the TV console’s feature wall and a cabinet display go well with the ceiling’s white scheme, which also work as a way to complement the light grey tone of a two-seater sofa.
