Other than having similar colors, because of the same color set, there isn't really anything here that bares direct resemblance to my take on an apartment, so no need to bring that up really.

similarity is only because both were/are going for a modern-geometric-apartment finish, which has little "novelty" in terms of absolute basic design

each individual part looks nice but it seems quite bland. A synthetic wooden finish on the floor, with a sublevel/step down to a lower floor, would break up the empty space between the kitchen and main living room, and could have an integrated bar-style table. You'll have to rearrange the positioning of the microwave; possibly move it onto the suggested bar-style table?

My view of the build is mixed.

The entrance starts off with a modern, tasteful, somewhat minimalist look. But then there is no particular thought put into the main area. The kitchen is shoved in the corner and is oddly sized for the rest of the room. None of the furniture fits with the build, and there is a nagging feeling about the walls having unaligned bricks and pieces.

Instead of complimenting the minimal modern look, it just makes the walls feel thoughtless and bare.

The kitchen itself doesn't fit. Wrong style totally. The bathroom has a nice shower but the toilet looks bizarre (some kind of dated toilet style) and the plunger ruins the sleek feel too. Finally back to the living space, the fan lamp does not fit well and the trash can in the corner is silly.

On the other hand, I like the flat ceiling lighting. The blinds look good. The colors and tone are nice (all but with the furniture / kitchen).

To me this is a half baked mix of good building techniques and then sloppy ideas. Some of the build looks sleek and appealing. Other parts look out of place and it gives the overall feel that you mixed building ideas you've seen from other people, and building ideas of your own, in a way that doesn't work.

Definitely a better example of interior work than most people achieve. From a critical point of view, somewhat messy and disorganized in terms of technique and ideas.

In terms of my standards, I'd give this a 6.5/10, but that is a critical opinion and not a light one. You demonstrate that you know enough about building to be given the harsh criticism now and to hone it into something better.
