Located in Los Angeles, California, USA, this delightful Scandinavian crib is a private residence designed by SHIALICE. The peaceful street leading to the apartment makes it hard to believe that you are right in the heart of city’s most appealing neighborhoods. As you step inside, you are greeted by tiled floors and decorative moldings reminiscent of the last century. The atmosphere of this home brings to mind New York, Barcelona or any other world metropolis, yet its Scandinavian elegance is unquestionable.
It’s very easy to recognize a Scandinavian interior design. But there isn’t just one Scandinavian style but several and they all have certain elements in common. For example, all Scandinavian interiors have wooden floors, most often light and they can be seen in all the rooms apart from the bathroom. The calm, muted tones of pale blue, cool grey, white and cream are seen everywhere in Scandinavian interiors.
This color scheme has almost become the trademark of Scandinavian design and seems to be one of the main draws to its global mimicry. These colors are unique to Scandinavian minimalism—especially the pale blues; they are not commonly seen in North American minimalist designs. The color palette in Scandinavian decors is very light and simple and it usually includes shades of gray and blue as well as a lot of white.
Bright and spacious, the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area makes a powerful first impression. The discreet blue and white cabinets from the kitchen perfectly complements the adjacent furniture, white walls and wooden flooring.
Interiors reflect the love of nature by bringing in numerous natural plants, and furnishings that mimic nature through their rustic wood grain.
