one Reduce the amount of small decor

When the Scandinavian style first appeared, it was based on the philosophy of hygge. A large number of figurines, candles, garlands and blankets fit into the interior. All this was designed to create a feeling of comfort. Now the philosophy of lagom is more relevant. She leans towards minimalism and the idea of ​​reasonable consumption.

What to do

Try to put all the Scandinavian decor in a big box and live in a house without decorations for a week. If the feeling of comfort has not been affected and the house is still pleasant, return a couple of the most interesting and bright decorations to their place, and put the rest in the closet. When you want a change, take something else out of the box or change the exposure.

If the interior without decor has become boring, analyze what causes negativity. You may need to get rid of some breakages and imperfections that you did not notice because of the decor. Or you need to add color and texture to the interior.

2 Choose a coarse knit rug

White carpets with long pile and carpets imitating animal skins are no longer relevant. Yes, and impractical: they significantly complicate cleaning and increase the amount of dust in the air.

What to do

Carpet is still a relevant element. Only now it is worth choosing models of coarse knitting or with a very short pile, made from natural materials. Woolen or cotton is perfect. Light plain textiles can be changed to colored with a geometric pattern.

3 Use household items for decoration

The time for specially selected jewelry has passed. An ideal kitchen, where everything superfluous was hidden from the eyes and a specially purchased decor was placed, is no longer relevant. This interior looks too «glossy». The Scandinavian style is gradually abandoning decor for the sake of decor, allowing the formation of an aesthetic component with the help of simple household items.

What to do

Use simple things to decorate: a blender, a towel, a basket with little things. To do this, of course, you will have to select them in the same color scheme and carefully consider the design of open shelves, countertops and racks. But the effort will pay off: the interior will turn out to be more modern.

four Buy unusual vases

Due to the fact that the amount of small decor is decreasing, you need to select it so that it attracts attention, does not get lost against the backdrop of a large room.

What to do

Look for unusual design solutions. Let, for example, the vase be not of the classical form, but in the form of an inverted head or a human bust. Avoid ideal shapes and Greek profiles: choose something more natural and «alive». Decor should make the interior more dynamic.

5 Add urban accents

Danish and Swedish designers are moving away from the usual cozy and rounded outlines of furniture. New trend: straight forms, strict features, natural materials. Such urbanism has its own indescribable charm.

What to do

Do not rush to order furniture from European designers. Evaluate your interior: it probably already has suitable items that should be highlighted. And when buying new products, pay attention to their compliance with fashion trends. Straight lines, unusual shapes, rough textures, a combination of wood and metal are relevant.
