8 More Ideas for the Dacha, Inspired by Scandinavian Huts

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

Paint the facade in dark color

In recent years, the trend for houses painted in dark colors has only increased. Such a facade looks especially well against a green landscape. The only drawback is that dark surfaces heat up quickly, so this option is only suitable for huts standing in the shade of trees.

Make a colored ceiling

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

Or the floor

This not only diversifies a monochrome interior but also zones 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 design saves space in a small room. Moreover, it's 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 the perfect place for storing phones or books. For example, this shelf was made from plywood and supplemented with a clip-on lamp so that one can read before sleep.

Hide a wardrobe under the staircase

In a small cabin, every centimeter counts. So using the space under the staircase 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.

Make a wardrobe from IKEA PAX yourself. How is it possible?

Use a ladder instead of a shelf

Don't throw away an old ladder — you can add a couple of boards to it and turn it into a bookshelf or shelf.
