Scandinavian style in the interior

Scandinavian style in the interior

/2 comments/in /from

Scandinavia is snow, forests, sea and Vikings. This is what reflects the interior design of the northern style.

Sofas are like snowdrifts of snow. Rough ceiling beams. A lot of wood. Mesh chair suspended from a chain

For the northern interior, it is important that the floor is wooden. It can be a massive board or engineering parquet, but a natural pattern created by natural wood should be visible.

The Scandinavian style is characterized by wooden furniture of simple and even crude forms. Most often, this is a table with thick legs of their square beam and a tabletop from boards. It is coated with clear varnish.

The bedroom is in the style of minimalism. Light wood simple bed

To create an image of the room, you can use decorative elements from wood.

But the real Scandinavia is obtained in the house when the ceiling is made of rough beams and the ceiling is made of planks.

The color of snow and sea

The leading role in creating the interior is played by color. The Scandinavian style is dominated by white, which is emphasized by colored elements of natural tones. These are gray-blue shades of the sea and yellow-green surrounding nature. There may be slight inclusions of red. These are furniture or decorative elements that make the white background more vibrant and spacious. Jewelry is used very little, it is rather ascetic, severe design or minimalism.

On the other hand, dark shelves and bright dishes

Upholstered furniture has mainly gray-blue colors. Rectangular shape with rounded corners. Complementary with natural colors, sofas and armchairs decorated with pillows. The most popular corner sofas.

Kitchens are most often snow-white or with the addition of natural light wood. White marble and tile can be used.

If necessary, the Scandinavian interior can be created in dark or multi-color. This is easier to do in an industrial interior. Against the background of a brutal brick wall, white elements and objects will clearly be visible, softer than the usual colors of the furniture.

In addition to the blue sofa, the second color of young foliage. White color added by paintings and table

In addition to the gray wall and marble countertops, all furniture is trimmed with wood of different species or white

When using blue colors, you can use non-angular furniture, about rounded and wave-like.

Often the room is decorated in a minimalist style. The main white background is emphasized by dark furniture, creating at the same time harmony and contrast.

Fireplace - the central figure of the interior

The fireplace warms on cold evenings. Therefore, it is an important element in the interior of the living room. Most often it is small and does not stand out against the general background. But it creates an atmosphere of comfort with its presence and the whole composition of the decor in the living room is built around it. It can be used simply as a decor.

Furniture is installed around the fireplace

A fireplace is built into the wall. Near a niche with firewood, which serve as additional decor

Lighting

The issue of lighting the room during the day is solved mainly due to large stained glass and French windows. Additionally, light is amplified by white and reflective surfaces, creating the illusion of space and air. A darker bottom made of wood and furniture and snow-white walls raise the ceiling, making it higher.

Light reflects off mirrored and shiny surfaces.

Lamps are used little, mainly for lighting certain areas. Strong general lighting in the evenings is not practiced in Scandinavia. Even less often, lamps are used for decoration.

Decor Items

Scandinavian differs from the styles we are used to in that living plants and flowers are almost never used in the interior. If they are in the room, then they feel trapped by chance.

Roses are here by chance, they are standing on the window, because they do not have a permanent place

The most characteristic decoration are paintings and wood in its rougher form. For example, tables made of gnarled stumps, driftwood, objects from rough boards. Pictures often symbolically depict the surrounding nature.

Finishing similar to the natural features of the north coast is possible. These can be objects resembling forests or beaches.

In addition, we must remember that Scandinavia is the birthplace of the Vikings. Therefore, decorations in the form of animal skins are possible. They can lie on the floor or on chairs.

The room is decorated with a map on the wall, colored pillows and a hide on the floor.

The basic principles in creating the Scandinavian style are the naturalness of nature, simplicity and the absence of excesses.
