DIY decor, unusual color of walls and functional furniture - we understand the basic rules of the Scandinavian interior to create a unique and trend space.
1 Worker color
At the dawn of the popularity of the Scandinavian style, to create the right color gamut in the apartment was not so difficult. It was enough to choose the right shades of white for different surfaces, textiles and furniture. A pair of bright rich color accessories - and everything is ready.
Today, this technique goes into the past, and to create a relevant and trend scand space, you will have to break your head over the palette. If you still want to use white as a database, be sure to pick up another color, which in the interior will be about the same. It is good as a second basic pastel colors: light gray, gentle pink, muffled green and blue. In order not to move with cold shades, supplement them with plenty of wood and accents in bright and warm colors.
At the same time, keep in mind that the designers are increasingly abandoned by white as a base color. Now it is easy to meet a dark scand with a base of gray and black tones or a bright scand with a saturated palette.
2 Put the functionality in the first place.
The Scandinavian interior has been increasingly no longer about the decor, but about the lifestyle. The northern directions with others appear. For example, the Union of Scandi with Japanese minimalism is called a japanda. From the first style, he takes the surface of neutral colors, natural materials and a combination of furniture and decor, and from the second - rhythm, asceticity and craving for smooth clean lines.
Therefore, to create a modern interior, it is not enough to choose beautiful curtains, posters and candles. You need to find a beautiful storage solution, as well as thoroughly consider the combination of functional zones and ergonomics of the entire space.
3 Remember ecology
Perhaps the Scandinavian style of the interior is the first one who made a bid for concern about the world around. Northern designers create their furniture collections from recycled and natural materials, trying to make laconic and simple items that will not get out of fashion and quickly come into disrepair.
Therefore, if you choose, for example, the table in the dining room, think about whether your grandchildren can use it and remember you with gratitude.
4 Stress individuality
Another important interior trend is an understanding of the importance of the inner world of the inhabitants of the house. Glossy and perfect rooms copied from pages of fashion magazines are far from being so valuable as non-ideal, but spiritual space, where a person feels comfortable and relaxed.
Therefore, for example, making up a children's room, make the focus on the game area and the most primitive storage system. Children will grow up, and they will have memories of the days, having fun in games with you, and not about sophisticated furniture and trendy curtains.
5 Try to do something with your own hands.
For example, deliberately casually paint the walls or renovate the old grandmother's chest. Draw your wall posters, scratch colorful pillowcases for pillows. The more your emotions will be invested in the space around, the more cozy it will, and this is the main principle of Scandy.
