Features
- As in the urban apartment, in a private house, Scandi is air, ease.
- Tree, painted or natural, stone, flax, cotton are the main materials in the finish and in the furniture. Plastic and metal are used less frequently in the furniture.
- Thoughtful planning still at the project stage. There are no blind unused zones in such houses.
- Union of space: Most often kitchen and dining area plus living room.
- The abundance of natural and artificial light, huge windows in the house.
Exterior design
The first thing you pay attention to when watching a photo of such cottages is a tree in the exterior. And it is logical. The house of a bar in Scandinavian style reliably protects owners from the cold. Heat resistant is one of the most important criteria for building in the Nordic countries.
In addition, the tree is environmentally friendly material, which also matters for the culture of Northern Europe. And even the construction of a wooden building takes a much less time than the construction of analogs of bricks or blocks. Moreover, if it is a frame model of glued timber.
Thoughtful forms and layout are a key point in construction. Therefore, the roof is made of a duplex. In winter, snow does not accumulate on it in large quantities. And the attic room can be used as a bedroom is a classic solution.
A single storey house in Scandinavian style implies the presence of French windows in the floor, which occupy a whole wall. The facade of the two-story building also decorate large windows. But the balcony in the northern architecture is a rare phenomenon, which you will not say about the attic or terrace.
As for the garden, flower beds are rare here, as well as the garden. The facade of the country house decorates neatly trimmed lawn and inconspicuous decor outside. Such astensive design is hardly suitable for the design of the classical cottage. But, if you really want, the rule can be broken, breaking the bed in the courtyard.

Finish
- The general rule of finishing is all the same natural materials. Walls are facing with wood or plaster. Moreover, the tree can be left untouched, then it is better to use light rocks.
- Preference in the gamma - light shades. Classic option: almost white. However, not the only one. Walls can also be made light gray, with a beige tint. Wallpaper with an unobtrusive pattern is allowed. Pay attention to the already finished products of the Swedish manufacturers - pure inspiration.
- Paul most projects of the Scandinavian style houses are lined with parquet or laminate, its artificial analogue.
- The staircase on the second floor is not particularly highlighted, it is simple as possible.
Living room and kitchen
Since Skand is a thoughtful layout, spaces here are combined by their functions. Living room, dining room and kitchen - direct confirmation.
It is interesting that they are practically never clearly zonied, for example, with the help of wall decoration. Zoning here is conditional: Bar rack, decor or floor decoration. The latter is also practical: parquet is not the best solution at the cooking area. It is more logical to separate the working area with tiles or porcelain stoneware, it will also be admissible. When choosing furniture, pay special attention to convenience. Soft sofa, which is almost always a central object in the living room area, wicker chairs and, of course, textiles are integral components of Skandy style. By the way, textiles can be like prints and monophonic. But in the conditions of neutrality, the rest of the space we recommend nevertheless more vivid options with patterns.
If the area allows, pay attention to such furniture items like a hammock, large floor pillows or a pendant wicker chair - it can become a chicken recreation area, especially in the country.
Greens - another direction attribute. And here there are no restrictions on quantity, you can even arrange your "green corner".
Instead of cabinets, open shelves are often hanging or placed racks from metal and wood. The same technique, by the way, you can take note and in the kitchen. If, for example, the room is small, shelves and the modular system will help save the area.
You can express individuality with the help of chairs in the dining room. They can be from different sets - Scandinavian style in the interior of the country house welcomes this little hooliganism.
Bedroom
It is often located in the attic room. The rules of the finish are all the same: soft tones and natural materials.
The decor here also strives for minimalism. Maximum - several paintings, and the theme is not important. You can hang next to both modern work and retro, such as posters or photos. In any case, it is better to avoid replicated products from the mass market.
If you want to make the space even more useful, hang outdoor ceilings. But follow the order for them.
By the way, textiles on the windows are also chosen as simple as possible. In the bedroom, it may be light curtains or roll curtains.
