You like dark colors in the interior, but theyDo you have fears? And not in vain. After all, the slightest inaccuracies in the design of premises can turn a house into a heavy and gloomy home. How to avoid it - we'll tell you today. In this Scandinavian apartment there is a married couple and their teenage son. The interior evokes curiosity and looks original. What's the secret? Why did the hostess of the apartment abandon the traditional Scandinavian minimalist design in favor of American glamor?
American style
Apartment owner Victoria Egler (VictoriaEgler) is a designer-stylist, and she was engaged in the design of 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 dad is an architect, and her mom is a stylist. They often lived in hotels with minimalistic 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 great design. Victoria lived and studied in Los Angeles for seven years. She returned to Sweden with a degree in interior design and fashion. Then Victoria firmly decided that she wanted to create her own interior in the American style, so that it had a large sofa in the middle of the room, armchairs, a fireplace, a TV, and a coffee table. She associates such an atmosphere with comfort, warmth and family values. Pay attention to the living room - it meets all the requirements of the owner. The room is spacious, light and beautiful. The hostess did many things herself, some were bought at auctions. 
Black lines
American style no color schemerestrictions, any improvisation is allowed. But there is often a dark color. Therefore, we can observe it in this interior as well. It is not necessary to paint the walls in dark colors, it is enough if these shades can be traced in the interior with accent lines and small details. Just like in the living room. So the space looks more expressive and solemn. The private area for a teenager, where they used an original design - an IKEA bed, also looks interesting. On a white background, black clearly delineated the space and highlighted this area. 
The color of the night softens
Dark gray is the color of the night and is often usedin order to soften harsher colors. In this case, you can observe in the bedroom the application of such an effect on the wall, where there is a very bright portrait of Marilyn Monroe in the pop art style (the painting was bought at an auction). The dark color in the intimate room excites the imagination, beckons with its mystery, and the image of the actress sets the notes of sensuality. Victoria loves pink and turquoise colors, as well as splashes of gold. All this came together in a small copy of the Statue of Liberty. The dark graphite color softens the flashy colors a little against this background. Thus, the interior is balanced. Our opinion: - The dark graphite color perfectly sets off and softens acid orange, piercing pink and purple colors. Against the black background, all colors look brighter and cleaner. 
Glitter of gold and copper
Great solemnity is given to the interiorluxurious chandeliers and gold decor elements. The combination of black and graphite gray adds expressiveness to the apartment. Once upon a time, copper items for interior decoration were imported from Italy to America. Victoria is now working to bring them back to the interiors of Europe. Our opinion: - The rooms of this apartment are filled with home warmth, but also express the owners' desire for freedom. Dark color is revolutionizing the design world and is increasingly gaining recognition from eminent designers. With skillful handling, it is able to create uniform depth in the interior, highlight the details and make the space stylish.
