Keep interiors simple with inspiration from Danish design
No-one understands simplicity more than the Danes. Whether it's everyday life or interior design, they seem to have the recipe for elegant under-statement at their fingertips. Draw ideas and inspiration for your next decorating project from the Danish interiors shown below.
Using a combination or materials, a layered mix of textiles and a few organic elements the Danes manage to decorate small spaces to the ultimate - yet they still look spacious and sophisticated...
Since most city-dwelling Danes live in rental apartments, you will find that the emphasis is placed on working with a blank canvas to inject life and personality. Pristine white walls are the perfect backdrop for Danish design, and let's face it, they have more than a few international award-winning designers to rely on for inspiration!
Keep it simple is a well-used aesthetic design element in Danish kitchens. With the emphasis on white and focus on modern or vintage pieces, kitchens might appear spartan but there's always plenty of storage space to keep appliances and clutter out of sight.
Eat-in kitchens are a staple of Danish design and they have combined these two separate areas with ease, whether it's using modern or mixed design elements.
Bedrooms, like living rooms and open-plan areas, keep it to basics with the use of white to visually enlarge small rooms. But you will always find minimalistic and practical Danish furniture wherever you look.
Rental properties in Denmark are know for being reasonably small, so being able to make the most of a small space is a fact of day-to-day living for anyone renting. Luckily landlords and developers work together to kit out bathrooms with all the mod-cons.
Indoors and outdoors you will find Danish design that utilises small spaces to best advantage. These rooftop conservatories and backyard gardens go to show that less is best but some creative thinking goes a long way.
