Scandinavian style has long been associated with light, clean-lined
spaces or pared-down monochrome interiors. However, in recent years
the colour palette has seen a dramatic shift  away from pale,
cool shades and dramatic, darker and more characterful hues
have begun to appear in stylish Nordic homes. Why have the
Scandinavians suddenly welcomed colour in this way and how is it
being used? As well as discussing the theories behind this shift
and analysis of the most popular colour schemes, in New Nordic
Colour interiors writer Antonia af Petersen offers expert
advice on choosing colour for your home. She goes on to visit 10
Nordic homes that are divided into three different types. 'Dark
Eclectic' schemes feature deep, intense hues:Â dusk blue,
storm grey, forest green and indigo, all inspired by the more
dramatic tones of the Nordic landscape. 'Bold Accents' focuses on
the details that stand out and add character – think deep red
berry bushes or the russet tones of the northern birch forests in
Autumn. Finally, in 'Majestic Pastels' Antonia provides a glimpse
into interiors decorated in strong but subtle pastels for a
remarkably modern effect. These unique Nordic homes all have one
thing in common – plain white walls and monochrome palettes have
been replaced with rich, complex and vibrant hues.Â
