### Contemporary Scandinavian Bedroom + Home Office Concept
* The design transforms the **21.2 sqm bedroom** into a calm, elegant and highly functional space that combines a comfortable sleeping area with a discreet home office.
* The main concept was to create a **cozy workspace that feels like part of the bedroom**, rather than introducing a separate or visually dominant office zone.
* A warm Scandinavian palette of **light natural oak, soft off-white, muted sage green and natural fabrics** was selected to complement the existing Canadian Maple flooring and maintain a bright, welcoming atmosphere.
* The **1.60 m bed** is positioned to provide greater privacy from the entrance while maintaining comfortable circulation around the room.
* The bed wall is treated as one integrated architectural composition, combining **timber cladding, a soft upholstered headboard, concealed lighting and built-in storage**.
* Vertical timber detailing introduces texture and rhythm without making the room feel visually heavy.
* The wardrobe is integrated into the same joinery language, combining **closed storage with illuminated open shelving** for books and decorative objects.
* The workspace is incorporated into a continuous custom furniture composition, allowing the desk to visually merge with the storage units instead of appearing as a conventional office desk.
* Dedicated storage for **documents, books and work accessories** is distributed between closed cabinets, drawers and shelving to keep the working area organized and visually clean.
* The floating shelves and cabinetry use soft rounded details and minimal handles to reinforce the refined Scandinavian character.
* The design makes use of the room's full length while maintaining a clear central circulation zone and avoiding unnecessary partitions.
* Since the ceiling height is only **2.50 m**, the lighting concept avoids suspended gypsum-board ceilings and recessed spotlights. Instead, ambient lighting is integrated into the **furniture, shelving and wall cladding**, providing depth and a warm hotel-like atmosphere without reducing the ceiling height.
* Decorative pendant lighting above the bed adds a sculptural focal point while keeping the overall design soft and minimal.
* The result is a flexible bedroom that can easily shift between **rest mode and work mode**, while maintaining one consistent, calm and sophisticated Scandinavian identity.
