<\/a>As sunlight streams in from overhead skylights, it illuminates the clean lines and carefully chosen furnishings in this lovely top level apartment. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>A gallery wall is a great way to add personality to an otherwise minimal design. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Mismatched patterns like plaid and chevron are not exactly a hallmark of Scandinavian design but the subtle colors here make them work together. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>On the other hand, yellow accents against black and white, as we'll see, is quite common. The rustic and unique coffee table<\/a> here is a nice touch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Dangling caged lightbulbs are a creative alternative to a chandelier or typical track lighting. Yellow bursts, like these accent chairs<\/a>, can add more interest to an all white room.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> A lovely purple rug brings a pop of color and texture to this bright white living room. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Black, white, gray, and natural wood give this living room a sophisticated air that could be straight out of another era. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Wood and brick are quite common but luxe leather is another way to bring in the idea of natural materials and interesting textures. The indoor plants<\/a> help bring in green as an accent. The imposing swing arm wall lamp<\/a>you see here is the Flos Model 265.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> A tufted sofa with a smooth throw flips a traditional style on its head. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Scandinavian styling works particularly well with gorgeous wood flooring, whether new or vintage. The unique, circle<\/a> living room chandelier<\/a> adds a great touch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> You don't need a ton of space to execute on these ideas. Complementary shades of teal(in the lounge chair<\/a> & modern sofa<\/a>) and ultra smooth lines are perfect here. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Here's another way to use that trendy bright yellow color, giving this living room a mod feel. The black and white rug<\/a> adds interesting contrast to the floor. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Use your sofa as a room divider in smaller, open space as seen here. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Light colored wood helps to open up a space on the floor as well as in furnishings like chairs and coffee tables. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> If you don't have gorgeous deep wood floors, consider painting them in whitewash for an artsy loft effect. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Indoor plants are one of the best ways to bring nature inside and warm up a space. Do check out our list of 32 Beautiful Indoor House Plants That Are Also Easy To Maintain<\/a> if you would like to try it at your home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> A bare wood ceiling gives this otherwise sleek living room a more rustic feel -- not everything has to be exactly the same tone to work together. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> This small space doesn't have a lot of room to spare, but a few small pieces keep it cozy and comfortable. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Chevron patterned flooring is one way to bring some creativity to hardwood. Motivational posters<\/a> are yet another mood booster.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> And don't think you can't experiment with color combinations if you're tending towards Scandinavian design. Black, white, yellow, and bright teal might be a surprising set but they work together here. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> White painted brick gives this industrial loft a lot more warmth than a bare red option would. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> This white living room from IKEA might not be ideal for small children or Merlot, but it sure is gorgeous. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Scandinavian style can still be a bit eclectic when you add something like a real cow skull against a pristine white wall. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Storage is always an issue when it comes to minimalist. Long low shelving is particularly popular. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Tall shelving that displays your personality is another option.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> Or store your favorite stories directly inside your coffee table as well as a mid-century credenza. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div> The low angles of this oversized sofa emphasize the space of this living room. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
