You like dark colors in the interior, but theymake you worried? And for good reason. After all, the slightest inaccuracies in the design of the premises can turn the house into a heavy and gloomy dwelling. How to avoid this - we will tell you today A married couple and their teenage son live in this Scandinavian apartment. The interior arouses curiosity and looks original. What is the secret? Why did the owner of the apartment abandon the traditional Scandinavian minimalist design in favor of American glamour?
American style
The owner of the apartment is Victoria Egler (VictoriaEgler is a designer and stylist, and she decorated her apartment herself, with the support of her husband. She is originally from Stockholm, but has traveled a lot with her parents since childhood. Her father is an architect, and her mother is a stylist. They often stayed in hotels with minimalist interiors. Perhaps this influenced Victoria's choice of profession. Now she creates exclusive items not only for private clients, but also for hotels. When traveling, she wants to stay in hotels with a great design. Victoria lived and studied in Los Angeles for seven years. She returned to Sweden, having received an education in interior and fashion design. Then Victoria firmly decided that she wanted to create her own interior in the American style, so that it would have a large sofa in the middle of the room, armchairs, a fireplace, a TV, a coffee table. She associates this atmosphere with comfort, warmth and family values. Pay attention to the living room - it meets all the owner's requirements. The room is spacious, light and beautiful. The owner made many of the items herself, and some were bought at auctions.
Black lines
In American style there is no color schemerestrictions, any improvisation is allowed. But often there is a dark color. Therefore, we can see it in this interior. It is not necessary to paint the walls in dark colors, it is enough if these shades are traced in the interior by accent lines and small details. As, for example, in the living room. So the space looks more expressive and solemn. Also interesting is the private area for a teenager, where they used an original design - an IKEA bed. On a white background, the black color clearly delimited the space and highlighted this area.
The color of the night softens
Dark grey is the colour of night and is often usedto soften the harsher colors. In this case, you can see this effect used in the bedroom on the wall, where a very bright pop art portrait of Marilyn Monroe hangs (the painting was bought at auction). The dark color in the intimate room excites the imagination, attracts with its mystery, and the image of the actress sets notes of sensuality. Victoria loves pink and turquoise colors, as well as gold inclusions. All this is combined in a small copy of the Statue of Liberty. The dark graphite color softens the flashy colors a little and against this background. Thus, the interior maintains balance. Our opinion: - Dark graphite color perfectly shades and softens acidic orange, piercing pink and purple colors. Against a black background, all colors look brighter and cleaner.
The shine of gold and copper
They add great solemnity to the interiorluxurious chandeliers and gold decorative elements. The combination of black and graphite gray adds expressiveness to the apartment. Copper interior decoration items were once imported from Italy to America. Victoria is now working to bring them back to European interiors. Our opinion: - The rooms of this apartment are filled with homely warmth, but also express the owners' desire for freedom. Dark color is revolutionizing the world of design and is increasingly gaining recognition from famous designers. When used skillfully, it can create a uniform depth in the interior, highlight details and make the space stylish.
