This interior represents an excellent example of modern Scandinavian minimalism skillfully integrated into a compact space. The light color palette with an emphasis on gray walls creates an elegant yet not cold background for living. Particularly appealing is the thoughtful organization of space, where the kitchen and dining area flow organically into each other, demonstrating a contemporary approach to interior design that can be successfully applied even in a small country house.
The kitchen is styled in classic Scandinavian fashion: white smooth handleless cabinets, built-in appliances, and minimalist plumbing fixtures. The absence of upper cabinets on part of the wall visually expands the space. The wooden dining table with its characteristic rough texture brings warmth and coziness, contrasting with the cool color scheme of the surroundings. The black wishbone chairs—a classic of Danish design—add graphic interest to the interior.
The accent dark blue chest of drawers with brass hardware becomes the visual center of the space, breaking up the monochromatic palette. The wall by the staircase, decorated with a collection of bird prints in black frames, demonstrates a subtle approach to decoration. Thoughtful lighting, including recessed ceiling fixtures and natural light from a tall window, completes the composition.
In this project, the designer's ability to create a functional yet not overcrowded space is especially valuable. Zoning techniques using color and furniture, the use of soft contrast between warm and cool surfaces, and attention to detail—all these approaches can be successfully borrowed for decorating your own country house.
