1. The play of light

This is an amazing ceiling that "weaves a story" between bright light and shadow.

During the restoration of the room, it was possible to remove and restore the old floor tile. Subsequently, it was used to create dividing lines, which gave an excellent effect.

Thanks to its white surfaces and wood trim, this kitchen is essentially the epitome of the foundations of Scandinavian design.

2. More bright colors

The next room is a little more colorful. Bright colors have always been valued in this style, as they help to cope with depression and despondency during the long Scandinavian winters. Therefore, when making the interior, it makes sense to use bright colors as much as possible - they increase the vitality and dynamism of space.

Properly organizing storage spaces is one of the primary tasks of Scandinavian-style interior designers. These built-in shelves look especially natural here.

This apartment is an excellent illustration of the fact that not everyone in the Scandinavian interior must come from Scandinavia. For example, here is a mirror from the French designer Jacques Adnet (Jacques Adnet), and the extreme right chair is from Fabio Bortolani (Fabio Bortolani).

Decorating the room remains quite simple.

Behind the classic storage spaces, there is a beautifully decorated wall, decorated with huge newspaper clippings.

The kitchen looks spectacular, but at the same time homely. Spice jars and plates on open shelves give the room its character, its individuality.
