What we see is a minimalist and functional entrance hallway of a city apartment, executed in Scandinavian style with a clear monochromatic solution. The black front door is particularly expressive, creating a strong visual accent surrounded by white walls. This kind of contrasting entrance zone design is often used to create a clear boundary between the outside world and private space.
The hallway is maximally functional: there's a large full-length mirror with a hinged door, a compact white chest of drawers for storage, and wall hooks for outerwear. On the floor is a graphic black and white rug with a geometric pattern, which supports the overall color scheme of the interior and visually structures the narrow space. The wooden threshold adds warmth to the cold monochromatic palette.
The apartment shows attention to detail: a small lantern-candleholder on the floor, a houseplant in a white pot on the dresser, a decorative painting in a golden frame—all these elements soften the strictness of the black and white solution. On the right, part of the kitchen with a two-tier fruit stand is visible, indicating the rational use of space.
This approach can be successfully applied in a country house as well—a contrasting solution for the entrance area makes the interior more dynamic, while the use of light tones in narrow spaces visually expands them. The black and white palette creates a universal background against which both minimalist and more decorative elements look good.
