Big windows
Giant and not covered with anything windows of the Dutch houses are a feature that creates
new opportunities in the design. It makes their houses a bright and airy place that has a great
influence on the disposition and your mindset. More view from the windows and fewer walls - is
what dutch are striving for in their constructions. And for the temperature control, you can look
at the double-glazed windows that help to regulate heat control.
Natural finishing materials
Another distinguishing feature of the Dutch style in the interior is the use of natural materials.
And a special place is given to red brick, which created a whole direction in architecture - the
Hanseatic style. Redbrick palaces and castles survived for many centuries, contemporary
materials like concrete doesn’t live so much.
In the Dutch house, parquet, natural stone, or ceramic tile that imitates it, are used as flooring.
The classic approach means that floor should be made in a dark tone to create contrast with the
light-colored walls. Wall plastering is widely used, which recreates the effect of natural stone.

Wood furniture
For the apartment’s furnishings is chosen “raw” furniture elaborated from the wood and featuring
minimalistic simple shapes. The traditional Dutch style allows combining wood with the glass or
leather for a more textured effect and also table’s and sofa’s legs can be a little bit curved.
Another “feature” of this style is a wood cupboard for tableware, napkins, cutlers, and others,
which was invented by the Dutch. As a rule, behind his glass doors are beautiful light blue
porcelain plates and cups.
Such original and authentic items will enrich and soften the laconic minimalistic image of the
Dutch-interior design. And also showcase some family relics and souvenirs that you have.

Graphic elements
The black bindings of window frames and glass partitions, the cast-iron grilles in the interior of
the house look contrasting and create a spectacular “theatrical” picture. According to color
theory, the more contrast the combination of colors, the more energetic and positive impression
it makes.
When Dutch elaborate their designs they always consider its practicality and comfort that is
important for the average person. They consider the project as part of a larger system and the
result of interaction with various factors: urban planning, the environment, the economy, politics.
Perhaps this approach is the result of the special mentality of the Dutch, who thought through
and independently created a complex water system - the territory of their country. In projects,
they often work with local materials and energy-saving technologies so as not to harm the
environment.
Handmade elements
Scandinavian design is generally considered concise, rational, democratic, and somewhat
unified. Dutch design is also Scandinavian, but with its own characteristics. For example, it is
characterized by a desire for individuality and uniqueness of the product. Even in the most
ascetic interior, the Dutch are trying to integrate products from natural materials, natural forms,
or hand made products. These can be roughly hewn ceiling beams, chairs covered with clay,
and drenched with paint, or a small hemp table.
