Apartment for a Large Family: Example from Sweden

This 102-square-meter two-bedroom apartment includes two separate rooms, a large (very!) kitchen-living room, and a spacious bathroom. Designers changed the original layout of the apartment. To free up space for a workspace in the bedroom, they removed the wall between the balcony and the room, combining the spaces. Now one wall of the room is a French-style panoramic window, offering views of a blue Swedish lake.

The apartment's interior is traditionally Scandinavian. Furniture and decor here serve an exclusively functional purpose, with neutral colors and the space primarily designed for comfort. This is especially evident in the living room — only the essentials are present, and an open storage system provides instant access to needed items, simplifying routine tasks.

On the kitchen, designers varied the neutral color palette with black furniture and floor tiles, red accents, and a Moroccan tile backsplash. The pattern appears brighter, reflecting off the glossy worktops. To contrast with the dark floor, they chose white glossy cabinet doors and ensured plenty of natural light.

The main room's spaciousness and wide windows allowed designers to use a bright accent — a trendy dead salmon shade on the walls. Combined with a high double bed in grey, it looks stylish. The workspace is separated from the bedroom — by floor tiles and wood on the walls. In the children's room, grey tones were also used, but mixed with playful sage green.

Every centimeter in the bathroom is meticulously planned. For example, notice how skillfully the clothes dryer is installed — above the bathtub, without taking up space.

Thanks to the corridor's length, designers were able to install a separate wardrobe and coat rack here, visually emphasized by a red wall. The wardrobe doors were made with the same glossy cabinets as on the kitchen: reflecting daylight, they will make the space appear even larger.
