The Helsinki-based interior designer and stylist created an all-white space that was at the same time, cozy and comfortable. Filled with clear nordic design vibes, this minimalist apartment looks like it could be featured in any issue of any interior design magazine and be a total hit. However, it still maintains a very livable and practical ambience.

Strong raw-white walls, floors, and ceilings set the tone of the apartment. This helps achieve a timeless look that will always look fresh and modern. Layered in are elements of black, the occasional gray, and a few green plants. Mäntyniemi didn’t want any rugs or curtains, but other textures were incorporated to help soften the decor a bit.

The simple black and white suspension lamp helps to achieve the monochromatic look.

EDITOR’S CHOICE

Stanley floor lamp by DelightFULL has the perfect scandinavian style that would look perfect in this dining room.

An oversized industrial style wall lamp was definitely the right choice for this minimalist open living room.

In the kitchen area, the cabinets and appliances are kept in the most neutral colors possible, with a few wooden and green elements setting a more cheerful vibe. A marble countertop was added for a more dramatic effect.
