Move Over Minimalism, Lagom Is Taking Over
If last year was all about the cosy Danish style of Hygge, this year, everyone’s on the Scandinavian route with Lagom, a style that’s not too little, or not too much, but just enough. It’s about finding balance and moderation.
1. Neutral tones like white and grey create a clean and neat yet classy and designer interior. Accessories aren’t over the top, but kept to a minimal so that only the best bits – like the dinosaur! – shine.
Interior designer: Design Collective Studio
Location: Espa
Cost of renovation: $80,000
2. A major element of Lagom is the use of natural materials, and this condo knows it. Woody, white and adorned with unique décor, a certain refinement embodies this home.
Interior Designer: ELPIS Interior Design
Location: Tanjong Pagar Plaza
Cost of renovation: $70,000
3. Here’s 100% class, without trying too hard, or doing too much. Minimal fuss means more appreciating of the workmanship put into each piece.
Interior Designer: Habit
Location: Upper Serangoon
Cost of renovation: $85,000
4. Less is definitely more with this home. Adding light textures (like wood grain) and choosing a few main accent colours can have a tremendous impact on a space, adding a welcoming warmth.
Interior designer: Imagine by SK66
Location: Edgedale Plains
Cost of renovation: $32,000
5. No need to get carried away with decorating or filling up every nook and cranny. Try something a bit more basic with a simple colour palette and minimal decor for an inviting sanctuary.
Interior designer: KDOT Associates
Location: Woodlands Drive
6. White takes the cake for an understated, elegant scheme. Top it off with black contrast, classic shapes and elegant material to give dimension and uplift the designer luxe.
Interior designer: The Orange Cube
Location: Waterbay
Cost of renovation: $23,000
7. Lagom is all about scaling back on clutter - just like this home’s organisation, clean lines and understated palette. To minimise the chaos, opt for hidden storage solutions to hide your mess.
Interior designer: Space Atelier
Location: Cuscaden Residence
Cost of renovation: $98,000
8. With Lagom, you want to make things less complicated and allow the beauty of simplicity to speak for itself. In this modern art theme, each piece is a conversation starter while the rest remains simple and practical.
Interior designer: Neu Konceptz
Location: The Topiary
Cost of renovation: $39,000
