Laconic, light, cozy - Scandinavian cuisine.Do you dream about this? The step-by-step instructions that designer Inga Azhgirey compiled specifically for Roomble will help you choose the right colors, finishing materials and accessories.The Scandinavian style is popular for a reason: it is ideal for small and dark spaces, visually enlarging them and filling them with the missing light and air. For the most part, Russian cuisines are like this: small (and sometimes very tiny), not always with a comfortable layout, and rather gloomy due to lack of sun. The Scandinavians, on the other hand, are familiar with these problems firsthand and have long invented a recipe for transforming such spaces. Today we want to talk about the kitchen: it is difficult to work with it, but like no other room in the house it needs a well-designed interior. Designer Inga Azhgirey shared tips on how to do it right. Inga Azhgirey, designer Inga is not only engaged in design and decoration, but also paints interior items, makes graphics and paintings to order and conducts master classes for children. In her work, she prefers new classics with bright color accents and modern style with elements of Scandinavian design. Loves unusual things in the interior. www.inga-art.ru - For me, Scandinavian cuisine is a lot of light, natural materials and a light palette. But with all the severity of the forms, I would not attribute such a kitchen to minimalism, although there can be many variations. Also in the Scandinavian style, I like the fact that just a drop of color or something textured-wood immediately "makes" the interior. 
Those who want to decorate the kitchen in ScandinavianStyle, I would advise you first of all to determine the direction that you like most: a completely white interior with light wooden elements or, for example, white with dark accents and kitchen furniture of gray, blue and lavender shades. If you are for brevity, the interior will make the interior more durable with an apron with a geometric pattern, an ornament for which you can peek at the Scandinavians. 
If wood flooring doesn't fit your budget,use as a covering imitating boards: light shades or almost black - depending on the general concept. If you opted for porcelain stoneware, then let it be black and white checkered or with a pastel geometric pattern. 
To finish the walls, you can use brickwork or paint: both light and dark areas, for example with a graphite board painting. You can also highlight the accent wall with wallpaper with a picture. 
Light is no less important in Scandinavian interiors:there must be a lot of it! Inconspicuous spotlights can be used as additional illumination of the working area, but the light above the dining area or island should be accentuated. These can be painted metal shades, retro lamps, etc. If you happen to be the owner of a couple of vintage chairs or armchairs, be sure to give them a new life! Paint it a light or intense color, re-pull the seat if it needs an update, or just throw an IKEA lamb skin on the chair. 
Those who prefer a calm color paletteFinishes and furniture, can "recoup" on the decor. Decorate the kitchen countertop for green pots of the same color, but different saturation, add bright towels, small rugs and woven t. D. Good will look interesting and a bit naive colored posters or black-and-white graphic quality photos in frames. Also the style is perfectly emphasized by cutting boards of unusual shape, copper utensils and marble. 
Even if you are a proponent of closed storage systems,highlight one small one, on which you put interesting jars of basic spices, a couple of cookbooks and, for example, a small poster. Such a composition will give liveliness to the interior, and just one shelf will not disturb the peace of mind of those who value practicality and do not like dust.
