Finns love to pick up interior compositions, plants and give things to the second life - such conclusions can be done by studying real, not design interiors. Take these techniques to bring to your apartments to truly Scandinavian comfort.
1 Create an incredible contrast interior
One of the most complex techniques in the interior is the creation of black and white contrast - surprisingly is well given to residents of Finland. They achieve it at the expense of a completely white base in the form of walls and ceilings, add white concise furniture and then they apply thin black touches in the form of a framework for photos, candle holders, posters and patterns on textiles. So that the house remains alive and cozy, black and white contrast shade the wooden floors of a light warm shade and live plants. Sometimes they add a third accent color to them, for example, as in the case of this apartment - a cold pale pink shade in living colors in a vase, a pair of pillows and a blanket.
2 Fill the space of living plants
If you arrive in Finland and go to a regular supermarket, you will notice that living and not at all expensive flowers everyday stand next to the cashier on a par with chocolate and a chewing. There are a lot of flower shops on the streets, shops with ceramic pots and handmade porridge.
All this is explained by the fact that there are a lot of living plants in Finnish apartments. Succulents, ficuses, orchids and lianas in pots, cut tulips and wildflowers in vases. In this apartment, at a photo in each frame, at least one plant, and, definitely, they make a typical cold white interior at times more interesting and cozy.
3 pick up designer things
Any resident of Finland without thinking will tell you what things from Marimekko, Littala and Artek he already acquired or would like to get. Finnish designers, famous and beginners who create wallpapers, vases, textiles, lamps and other accessories are very popular among local residents and find at least one designer thing in almost any apartment.
Going on weekends to shopping in Design District in Helsinki behind a new vase or curtains - practically the same thing that goes in search of new jeans or coats. And let the interior base be collected from budget options like IKEA, cherry on the cake will always be something unusual and interesting.
4 thought out and update compositions
Put a dresser in the room, hang a couple of posters over him and leave in this form for several years - not about the Finnish interior. See how over time the mistress updated part of its living room: the wall decor changes, new lamps and figures appear on the chest, next to the plant - a high candlestick, the usual chair changes to the rocking chair, is added to the garland ceiling. The interior in Finland is not statical, it is alive and constantly updating even within one style and color scheme. Thus, concise space and decor do not have time to bother and all the time there is a feeling of novelty and joy from new elements.
5 give things to the second life
In the northern countries, they are very preferable to ecology and love vintage things. All together, this leads to the fact that there are many old things in the apartments, but they do not dust on the mezzanine and do not clog the balcony. You will find yourself visiting Finn - Be sure to take a closer look and ask: He will surely tell you that this dresser bought his great-grandfather in his first apartment, and this table was made from a sewing machine, on which his grandmother once sewed things for her family.
As a result, the interior is obtained unique and multi-layered, it is pleasant to consider it and it is very comfortable and comfortable to live in it.
