Lagom | Studio Archville

Encompassing an 850 sq. ft. 2BHK apartment, Lagom is a meticulously designed residential project inspired by the Japandi interior design style. This space seamlessly blends the simplicity of Scandinavian aesthetics with the warmth of Japanese philosophy. Embodying the principle of "not too much, not too little, just the right amount," the home strikes a perfect balance between functionality, sophistication, and understated elegance. Designed for a couple, the space is open, clutter-free, and enriched with a harmonious neutral color palette, reflecting their shared vision of balance and serenity.

DESIGN APPROACH

The overarching design philosophy for Lagom centers on balance and intentionality. Every element, from furniture to decor, has been thoughtfully curated to complement the "just right" principle, ensuring practicality without compromising elegance. A consistent flow throughout the home is achieved through cohesive materials, textures, and tones, creating a sanctuary that exudes calmness and warmth.

LIVING ROOM

The living area serves as a calming haven where understated elegance meets modern functionality. A long sofa with subtle pops of color anchors the room, adding charm without disrupting the neutral palette. A sleek TV unit, paired with ledges and a minimalist console featuring an abstract mirror, creates a cohesive and visually light aesthetic.

A checkered partition and coordinated wall moldings tie the room together, adding texture and subtle detail to the space. These elements not only enhance the design but also emphasize continuity and flow—hallmarks of the Japandi style.

DINING AREA

Nestled within the living space, the dining area is designed to be compact yet welcoming. A rounded dining table with fluted legs is the centerpiece, offering a soft, human-friendly touch. This thoughtful design choice ensures the space feels inviting and functional, harmonizing beautifully with the rest of the home.

PARENT’S BEDROOM

The layout of the parent’s room is thoughtfully crafted to maximize functionality and create a sense of spaciousness within a compact area. The layout follows a harmonious flow, with a long study desk featuring an integrated dresser that transitions effortlessly into the wardrobe. This leads to a corner bed, creating a thoughtful C-shaped arrangement that optimizes the room’s layout.

This design ensures continuity and leaves the central area open, maintaining the spacious and uncluttered feel that defines the home. The study desk is strategically placed by the window, allowing ample natural light to flood in and offering serene views, enhancing the sense of calm and purpose throughout the space.

MASTER BEDROOM

The master bedroom exudes the warmth and simplicity characteristic of Japandi design. A striking wooden headboard with matching side tables anchors the space, adding a touch of natural elegance. The wardrobe with an integrated study nook becomes the focal point, blending functionality with sleek, thoughtful design.

A palette of light and neutral tones enhances the room’s fresh and airy atmosphere, while ample natural light reflects beautifully off the surfaces, amplifying the sense of openness and tranquility. This harmonious balance of elements ensures the master bedroom feels serene and inviting.

The essence of Lagom, meaning "just the right amount," resonates throughout the project’s design. Every element, from the thoughtful layouts to the curated materials and harmonious color palette, reflects a perfect balance of function and aesthetics. This home embodies the philosophy of creating a space that feels effortlessly balanced, calm, and timeless.
