Wood and colors make the apartment cozy

Wood is a natural raw material and therefore no two pieces are alike - from the grain to the color. Oak, birch, beech or ash: there are many types of wood to choose from, even from local forests. But wood needs color and other materials, i.e. a suitable counterpart, so as not to appear boring. Combined with white, lots of glass and transparent fabrics, the look is airy and friendly. It gets classy and spirited with red and black, green brings everything into a natural harmony, complemented by linen, knitwear and fur. Filigree details made of shiny copper, silver or gold spice up a rustic living ambience.

2. Are there rules to be observed when combining with colors? If you choose a Scandinavian-style interior, you should focus on light pastel shades. They underline the airy character of the Nordic look. Clear forms love color.

3. How do you avoid an impression that is too rustic? Set accents with glass, metal, rattan as well as fabrics and wallpapers with graphic patterns
