How to make your interior unique with decorand create an interesting, harmonious and complete space in a small area? Today we will consider this using the example of a cozy Scandinavian interior from Sweden. Simplicity is often the focus of modern interiors. Such projects are especially relevant for young people who are beginning to build their own life path. The interior is an external reflection of a person’s inner world and it is often possible to observe how a simply decorated space captivates with something elusive. This impression is created thanks to well-chosen additional decorative elements. What is interesting is that they can be in the most unexpected places and at first glance seem unnoticeable. This small apartment looks calm, simple, but at the same time warm, cozy and respectable. What is its secret? Let’s try to figure it out.
Retro atmosphere
It is known that the interior expresses aspirations andemotions of their owners. This apartment has a retro atmosphere. No, not literally. The furniture and decoration are selected in accordance with modern fashion trends. But the decor items make the room unique: an antique typewriter, travel bags, mirrors, posters. Antique things are liked by intellectual people who value not only comfort, but also mystery. Apparently, a person who is building a career lives in this apartment. He likes antiques that give the interior respectability. Perhaps he is a lawyer. Our opinion: - There is an opinion that the retro style has no clear rules and boundaries. The main thing is that you feel comfortable in it. With the right approach, you will be able to not only look into the past, but also harmoniously tie everything in the present with the prospect of the future. This is how it is intended in this interior.
Unexpected accents
Minimalism was chosen as the basisScandinavian style with a hint of loft. Precisely with a slight inclination, since the apartment is very small. To prevent the interior from looking monotonous, it was diluted with bright accents. They are present in the most unexpected places. Look at this creative idea: the room blends in perfectly with the surrounding space. We are talking about the brickwork of the neighboring building. The drawers on the furniture also look interesting: they are painted red inside. Flowers and multi-colored glass containers also act as colored complementary elements. Thus, these color accents enliven the space, add energy and dynamics, and make the interior complete. Black color was added for elegance.
Honeycomb
Natural beauty, connection with nature are appropriatein minimalist interiors. Apparently, the owner of the premises is a supporter of laconic design and a great lover of the natural world. It is distinguished by its uniqueness and originality. The interior contains objects resembling honeycombs. This form is very relevant now. The presence of honeycombs is associated with nature, sun, summer. Therefore, at any time of the year, the owner of the house will experience a surge of strength and positive emotions. Apparently, he needs strength, since he works a lot and builds a career. The squirrel with a nut on the shelf with books looks amazingly beautiful. This is a symbol of a mediator in a dispute.
Background color
A gray palette was chosen as the background color.It is ideal for this role and interacts well with natural wood. Thanks to this, all decorative elements stand out clearly and antique items are especially emphasized. Gray is the color of well-being, safety, balance and simplicity. The owner of the apartment has an elegant aristocratic taste and looks to the future with perspective. Our opinion: - A win-win option for interior design is letters and numbers. It is fashionable, stylish, interesting. It is immediately obvious that the owner of the premises strives for knowledge.
Hobbies and interests
A cultural symbol of the end of the Victorian erais a penny-farthing (bicycle with a large wheel). We can see its image in the hallway, next to the creative ladder-coat rack. The popularity of this type of transport coincides with the emergence of cycling. Perhaps, the bags in the hallway are also symbols of the owner's passion for cycling and traveling. This is also a connection between the past and the present and with nature.
