Shayan Shamlou provides his expert advice on creating a modern Scandinavian-inspired apartment with relaxing, ambient lighting

I have always been very interested in Scandinavian style, because it creates a very relaxing atmosphere due to the use of natural, ambient light. That’s why I decided to create a small apartment in this style, one that includes a bedroom and a dining room.

Before we start, we should always consider the main goal of our project; given that this space is supposed to show the Scandinavian style, I need to depict a lot of ambient light through the glass doors and large windows of the house. I tried to use a harmonious combination of neutral and warm colours in this project. Colours such as white, grey, cream and light brown, as well as black, can always be used in this style, according to the artist’s taste.

Always use wood material for the dining table and also choose fabrics with a very simple texture, with minimal, neutral and bright colours often the best choice for this type of project.

It should also be noted that in this style, house plants and flowers are usually included, often with large green leaves, which can evoke an interesting atmosphere with the contrast that they create in the colour combination of the house/apartment.
