This post is here to inspire new styles and ways of living. We aim to give you ideas on colours, ornamentation, furniture and more; so continue reading if you are interested in finding out more about the world of ästhetik magazine's interior designs.
Scandinavian
It is pretty obvious that in the uppermost regions of the northern atmosphere, the climate isn't that warm... almost all year round; and that is a great reason as to why the typical Scandinavian abode is decorated to be as cosy and warm as possible. Decorated with blankets, leather sofas, warm white lightbulbs and log burner fires - they all piece together wonderfully to induce a real sense of heat when living in the coldest of conditions. This shows that it is true, that furniture and a way of life can affect the way one lives their day-to-day lives.
Contemporary
This, on the other hand, is extremely different to that of a Norwegian mountain retreat, but more like a Manhattan apartment. Fresh lines and pure white worktops finished with marble trims scream a modern feel to this type of interior. The fact that you can add almost any colour to a contemporary designed house shows that there is really no limit to the way that you can go about decorating, it is meant to seem as though you're almost in an art gallery, with high ceilings and large glass windows letting in as much light as possible.
Hygge
The word 'Hygge' originates from old Norwegian, where it means something along the lines of 'Well-Being' and a way of life, or a mindset. However, nowadays it is seen as a design element full of patterns in colours such as pale grey and white with touches of warmth in the earthy tones. When using an essence of Hygge within your home - it is essential to include some of the following:
Warm-white lighting (LED strips, Bulbs, Lanterns)
Thick knit blankets and throws.
Tan leather (wherever possible)
Worn or distressed items made from wood
Log or multi-fuel Burners
It is important to not use any harsh lighting or furniture which could spoil to overall effect of Hygge as it is all about the soft and muffled tones which seep through in the subtle light of the home.
MoodBoard Inspiration
We thought that it would be a great idea to give you some visual examples for you to feast your eyes on as you read all of the information. We hope you enjoy seeing how all of these various colours coincide brilliantly to create incredible designs for every area in or out the house.
So get to it and let your imagination run wild when you're next decorating! We wish that these examples above have prompted you to try something new or even shown you something that you didn't know existed.
