8 More Ideas for the Dacha, Inspired by Scandinavian Huts

We already told about interesting ideas for the dacha that you can borrow from Scandinavian designers. There were so many ideas that we decided to continue the selection.

Paint the facade in a dark color

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

Make a colorful ceiling

If you have little sunlight at your dacha (as in Scandinavian countries), paint the ceiling yellow. Combined with white walls, such an interior looks cheerful even without an abundance of decoration or 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 construction will save 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 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 a wardrobe under the stairs

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

Or make it from readily available materials

A clothes hanger can be made from a sturdy branch of wood – just hang it in a niche.
