We find out whether the Scandinavian style is really - a set of furniture from IKEA and a guarantee of the feeling of Hyugg.
1 background only white
Scandinavian style is not only boiled white walls and ceiling. It is also all shades of beige, pearl, creamy, sandy, light gray. It is them best to cope with cloudy winter days and make the room more comfortable and visually air.
It is wrong to assume that the Scandinavian style does not recognize bright or dark colors. Recently, contrast walls, floral patterns and focus on bright furniture are increasingly appearing in it.
2 Minimalism is obligatory
At first glance it may seem that all horizontal surfaces should be empty or supplemented by a pair of laconic accessories, and only the most necessary needed from the furniture. But the basis of the Scandinavian style is love for his house and the desire to live in comfort. Extra things purchased by the sake of fashion imitation do not bring comfort in just as well as a tangible lack of things.
3 Everything should be made of wood
Tree - the main finishing material is true. Well, if the floor and window frames are made of it. But you can still buy a couple of plastic chairs.
4 will have to redo the whole apartment at once
It is impossible to turn an apartment in a cozy northern nest. It all begins with the basics - finishing works, large furniture. All sorts of accessories and accents are added as they are driving and are drawn out that there are already eating beads on the thread.
5 Scand - a guarantee of light and spacious space
The basis of any room is its layout. In the Scandinavian countries try to make the ceilings higher and the windows of bigger. You should not expect that in a typical Moscow apartment with a lack of natural lighting, the Scandinavian style will create a miracle. It will make an apartment comfortable and cozy, but even light walls are not under the power to increase square meters.
6 can be made like in the picture
One of the most annoying mistakes that can be done is to try to make at home an accurate copy of pictures from the Internet and magazines. Any interior style should be based on tastes and needs of residents at home. Watching pictures, write down that you liked and why, so it turns out to highlight some interesting solutions that will fit into your interior.
7 scanda not for a big family
In many Scandinavian houses, compartments in the basement are thought out, where residents of apartments can keep their belongings. Therefore, they do not have to break the head where to hide for summer skis and winter things. But this is not a hindrance to embody this style in our realities. We will have to plan the storage system and select cabinets that will not eate too many space, but everything is feasible.
8 scandy is cheap
Unfortunately, repairs in the northern style is quite expensive. Wooden floors and window frames, alignment of walls (on the light surfaces of irregularities are noticeable, the strongest is noticeable), buying an eco-friendly paint - if you do everything from scratch, the costs are obtained tangible. In addition, despite the love of IKEA, the Scandinavians with the same passion belong to the design stamps, not recognizing budget fakes.
9 All these interiors look equally
When you start planning your interior, you will understand how deeply the real Scandinavian houses are worked out. At first glance, they seem weightless and uncomplicated, then interesting accents and textures are thrown into the eyes, then small details. Each house is created with love and does not look like others.
10 enough to buy furniture and paint walls
Scandinavian style is first of all the image of thinking. Here are the main signs of this interior, which are often forgotten:
- No fakes like the Chinese version of the lamp Poul Henningsen;
- Only eco-friendly materials, whose production did not damage the environment;
- friendliness for children - there is a place to run and play, funny wallpapers in the nursery;
- The most important thing is the relationship between people at home, not stylish furniture.
