Concept And Nature Of Swedish Design
Swedish (Scandinavian) design style aims to get most out of little (same as maximalism which also is a trendy approach). This style successfully marries both- sort of elegancy and informality. It is also highly influenced by Swedish nature colours and patterns. Furthermore, what may appear to be a disorderly mass of different colours and shapes actually turns out to be a collection of different interesting stuff that were gathered together in order to bring the best visual appeal.
As mentioned before, this design was highly influenced by the Scandinavian climate (light and air). Long, depressing winters, early dawns and the lack of natural sunlight- all have formed a very special attitude to Swedish interior design and furnishings. Anything that is dark and heavy was replaced with bright, light and gloss elements. Whitish walls, floors and furniture are used to reflect and use those so tiny and rare rays of sunlight to create more joyful, happy and positive atmosphere at home even in the darkest winter afternoons.
What About Bedroom Planning And Structure?
All is based on simplicity, light and easy structures, lots of naturalism and ergonomics. You would find plenty of pictures and other forms of art hanging on walls. It would kind of merge everything (all surroundings) into one harmonious “painting”. It is also very important that all accessories would be very functional and aesthetic.
Bedroom Colours
Think brightness and light- whitish, mint cream, ivory, light blue, ghost white. You would find these in their furnishings, walls, bedding and accessories. Pale yellow and rose (misty rose), greyish, lavender blush, light khaki would also fit in to the spectrum. You would sometimes meet green and even shades of red.
Especially popular (as much as white) is blue with all its nuances as it does associate with a deep blue and clear sky even it is gloomy and greyish outside. This blue would easily go with seashell, golden or even red colours. Red is becoming more and more popular in Swedish design. You would often find it in patterned bed linen, bed covers, carpets and paintings. Besides, it would also be quite frequent in flowered materials (think bed covers, bed runs and cushions).
Bedroom Furniture -Scandinavian Style Bed
The lines are usually straight but slanting. This interesting duet would appear in details, accessories. The legs of their bedroom furniture wardrobe/chairs/armchairs/cabinet) would often be posh, waxed and a little bit narrowed at the bottom. You would sometimes however see them roundish or even squaring. Beds have simple, straight, “clean” lines, the wood, if it is used, is light and the bed board is usually soft. Bed hangings are usually made of white batiste and attached either to ceilings or to the wall just above the bet board.
Bedroom Furniture- Other
A proper settee is the main element of Swedish design. They are often met in narrow spaces. These would usually have 6 legs and not too soft backs. However, they would have plenty of small cushions.
Bedding Fabrics And Material
It is very likely that all bedding fabrics are mostly natural. Linen and cotton are the most often used as bedding material. Texture varies however- from plain colours to checked, patterned or even flowered with small flowers. Coloured fabrics would usually consist of two colours and one of these colours more likely than not would be white.
The colour of wood is usually light or painted white. They usually use birch wood, light pine wood or alder wood to complement Swedish design style in bedroom or other house premises.
Bedroom Architecture
Huge glass windows, high ceilings, niches, hard wooded floors and traditional Scandinavian stoves. Walls are also bright, usually pale white as well as floors. Designers are taking all possible means to obtain the impression of an open, spacious and light space.
