8 More Ideas for the Country House, Inspired by Scandinavian Huts

We have already talked about interesting ideas for the country house that can be borrowed from Scandinavian designers. There were so many ideas that we decided to continue the selection.

Paint the facade in dark colors

In recent years, the trend for houses painted in dark tones has only grown. Such a facade looks especially well against a green landscape. There is only one downside: dark surfaces heat up quickly, so this option is suitable only for huts standing in the shade of trees.

Make a colored ceiling

If you have little sunlight at the country house (as in Scandinavian countries), paint the ceiling yellow. Combined with white walls, such an interior looks cheerful even without an abundance of decor or bright details.

Or the floor

This will not only diversify a monochrome interior but also zone the space. For example, you can paint the floor in another color in the dining area of a kitchen-living room.

Build a bed by yourself

This kind of construction saves space in a small room. Moreover, it is cheaper to make a bed from leftover materials after building the house than to order or buy a ready-made one.

And shelves above the bed

A shelf above the bed is an ideal place to store phones or books. For example, this shelf was made from plywood and complemented with a clip-on lamp so you can read before sleep.

Hide the wardrobe under the stairs

In a small cottage, every centimeter counts. So using the space under the stairs is an excellent idea.

Or make it from readily available materials

A hanger for clothes can be made from a sturdy tree branch — just hang it in the niche.

Build a wardrobe from IKEA "PAX" by yourself. How is it possible?

Use a ladder instead of a shelf

Do not throw away the old ladder — you can add a couple of planks and turn it into a shelf or bookcase.
