Often the story of home makeovers begins withthat designers suggest demolishing several walls and combining some rooms. But what if there is no possibility or desire to re-cut the apartment, but you want to make it cozy and homely? An example of this being possible came to us from Scandinavia, whose residents are distinguished by healthy practicality. The owners of this home are not only happy with its small size and old proportions, but also did not change even the inexpensive tiles in the kitchen, and also use very simple built-in cabinets. They also did not refuse abundant decor, and this illogical act gave birth to the charm of this place. This feeling is born from the fact that in oneobjects from two different eras are combined in this space. A modern bed, table, and chair coexist with a hanger, stove, and nightstand from the era of black-and-white cinema. And even the bed linen has a retro-style pattern. It is interesting that many old solutions primarily help to save space. Round lamps, kitchen fronts –quality things that can be called echoes of the past. In this apartment, the objects step by step follow the classic line from the date of construction of the house to the present day. This is how the owners save their money and create a charming aura of respect for time. How logically and gracefully they do it! Isn't there something special about trying?preserve the history of the simplest typical building? Following this example, you can try to make changes for the better in your home without starting a large-scale renovation.
