An unconventional approach, the right choice of color,simple decorative elements can make any interior cozy and homey. Even in a small area. We were convinced of this by the interior of an apartment located in one of the Swedish attics. The apartment is located in an old building built in 1918. Not the simplest layout option: an attic with sloping walls, a window and beams on the ceiling. How did its residents manage to get rid of the feeling of crampedness and turn disadvantages into advantages?
Get rid of the feeling of tightness
Since the apartment has a small area andnon-standard layout, the light gray palette is ideal for it. To visually lift and expand the space, the beams were also painted in one color. This erases the boundaries and removes the feeling of tightness. An additional bonus is the window on the ceiling. Thanks to this, a feeling of airiness appears. The chandelier was specially selected to match the tone. Its broken shape looks interesting: as if part of the ceiling or wall is floating in the air. Apparently, an emotionally reserved student has settled here. She is no longer a freshman, she likes to read and knit. Such an interior is chosen by serious, practical individuals.
In contrast
It was possible to optically change the spacethanks to the contrast of light and dark. Wooden objects and wicker baskets look especially impressive, creating additional coziness and warmth. In cold climates, this is especially valuable. Hence the desire to better insulate, so knitted items as decor look so harmonious here. The floor has become an excellent background for the entire interior. In addition, the dark covering underfoot is associated with the earth, which gives the room a naturalness and peace. There is an opinion that the dark color of the floor visually narrows the room, but only if the color combination is chosen incorrectly. In this case, this did not happen. Our opinion: - The owner of the apartment prefers black and white contrasts in clothes. The wardrobe is selected based on the principle of convenience and practicality. The presence of gray in the interior suggests that the girl values inner peace more than bright impressions.
Cons that became pros
The non-standard layout does not allow for accommodationa lot of furniture, but the right approach helps to find a way out of any situation. Therefore, every corner of the apartment was used to the maximum: both windows and space under the sloping walls. Some books were simply left on the floor. Next to the chimney, a mini-dressing room was made with a sliding curtain in the same color as the walls. No disorder or clutter. Everything is in its place, and all things are quickly accessible.
Style with a masculine character
The interior is designed in Scandinavian style, whereMale simplicity, restraint and naturalness prevail. Swedes are distinguished by their imperturbability. Outwardly, they seem very soft, but have great inner strength. Their national character traits are endurance, independence and perseverance. It is not customary for them to flaunt their social status. All these qualities are evident in this apartment. Our opinion: - But still, a girl who loves jewelry lives here. There are special devices in the form of hands on the window for storing them. The owner of the apartment is not devoid of sensuality and elegance, although she prefers naturalness and restraint in everything.
