What are the characteristics of an interior designed by a woman?What are boudoir shades and how to work with them? All about this in our article. Today we will show you a romantic apartment in Sweden, which is made in a touchingly non-Scandinavian way. It happens that at first glance you determine the interior - is it masculine or feminine. Why do such feelings arise? Which color is better for women and which for men? How to find a compromise?
Character in color and detail
This apartment resembles a cozy book cafe,where you want to get comfortable and read an interesting book. It's all about color and details. Usually men don't pay attention to small details, looking at the big picture. But for women, details are always important. This is evidenced by the interior of this Swedish apartment. It turned out soft, thoughtful and restrained. What is the difference between a man's and a woman's interior? Women like a calm boudoir color scheme, while men feel calm in a black and white interior, they like contrasts. To maintain balance in this apartment, the pastel unobtrusive palette was diluted with chocolate colors, elements with dark natural wood. To make the man feel more comfortable, black and white decor was added in the form of posters on the walls. It is clear that the owner of the apartment cares about peace in the family. The color she chose for the interior does not tire the eyes - it is soft, unobtrusive and not washed out. Our opinion: - We can assume that a happy married couple lives here. Perhaps he is a diplomat, and she is a film critic. They are raising a daughter of about eight or nine years old, as indicated by the photo located on a small dressing table. They live amicably, their relationship is calm and harmonious, which is directly reflected in the interior.
Lighting: warm - cold
It's interesting how lighting changes perception.In one room, the interior can look cold and warm at the same time. You can see in the living room that the color near the window is noticeably lighter. This is due to the fact that cold, diffused daylight falls from the window. But yellow electric light makes the interior darker and quite saturated. With such lighting, glare from glossy details and objects adds contrast. This color palette is ideal in this case. Our opinion: - Boudoir shades go well with matte metals - silver, brass, copper. You can also sometimes use not too shiny gold and polished steel.
Women's territory
The interior is filled with interesting small details.And therefore it is felt that the woman is engaged in the arrangement of the apartment: paintings, photographs, ikebana, candles in beautiful candlesticks, flowers - this is the passion of the weaker sex. Although it is worth noting that the man's office is designed in a laconic, elegant style, which is facilitated by a gentle light palette. The emphasis is on details, and frankly, very successfully. Remember: women pay special attention to small details, and there are many of them in the apartment - in the kitchen, in the children's room, in the bathroom, in the living room. A skillful combination of color, lighting and, most importantly, various small objects in the interior create the desired balance, especially a compromise is observed in the bedroom. There is both color contrast and calm gentle shades. The combination of skin, linen bed linen and silk pillows also looks interesting. This once again indicates harmony in the relationship of spouses, since both his and her preferences are taken into account.
Retro atmosphere
It is clear that the entire apartment is literally saturated.retro atmosphere. And color plays an important role in this. Its depth is revealed due to the different textures present in the interior. Vintage-style floor lamps, golden trays, antique decorative items - all these are elements of the retro mosaic that makes up this interior, as if it came from black and white photos passed through a sepia filter. fantasticfrank.se
