Combine the midcentury style with brighter and airier elements, as seen in Scandinavian design. Create an indoor/outdoor living space by utilizing a pass-through window to establish a connection between the indoors and outdoors. Use a lot of light colors to brighten and declutter the space, and add some texture for warmth and interest. Incorporate two tones of wood for added interest and warmth. Aim for a sleek, minimal, and modern design that is also cozy to live in. Use stainless steel and matte black finishes throughout. Opt for integrated appliances for a cleaner look.
