KEY COLOR 2015

 - NORDSJØ -

 I was invited to attend, when Nordsjø announced their Color of the year 2015 in Gothenburg a few days ago. You might have seen some pictures already on my instagram :-)

 

- COPPER RANGE -

 

"This color breathes warmth into the interior, replacing the cool blues and greens from last year

It is a color of depth and currency that combines wonderfully with the everyday.

Great on its own, the color also combines perfectly With pinks, neutrals, whites and other Orange hues, as well as metallic colours such as gold."

" It really comes alive combined With flesh pink, clay toned neutrals, a tiny touch of Bright yellow, crisp whites, wood tones and of course copper."

// Nordsjø //

 

Rad more about the color, in Nordsjø`s Colour futures

The launch was at Lilla Gøtafors . Even the colors at the event location matched  ;-)

Creative designers, bloggers and stylists from Norway and Sweden where invited. The whole day was packed with inspiration! Speakers from Stylt Trampoli, and

 Asko Nobel (Nordsjø), bubbles, food, and a super fun workshop!

At the workshop there were walls set up, painted in Copper Orange, and a whole room full of props! We were told to do a spontaneous styling. So much fun!!

My group created an "after the Color of the year launch nachspiel" ;-) (picture above) 

 

 

One tiny detail from this styling, and I had to create some moodboards when I got home!!

Do you see the detail...? ;)

 

...The dark colored candles, against the warm colored wall!

At first I was not too pleased with the combo, but now I think it is so perfect in this picture!

I chose to turn it the other way around though.., to create a different look.

Some dark colors from Nordsjø`s color chart, and I made my own moods.., inspired by our styling :-)

An overall dark color palette, with a hint of warm copper orange!

Looks  sophisticated and chic, don`t you think?

This beautiful styling by Studio Oink is spot on :-)

 

Starting this week filled with inspiration and colorful ideas from my trip to Gothenburg!

 

 

 

Have a happy and colorful week everyone!

MONDAY MOOD

- BURGUNDY -

 

 

 Same procedure every year... I fall in love with this deep, warm burgundy color all over again!

Already been out shopping ;)

A soft, burgundy, wool scarf, a warm sweather, and a deep red dress. All hanging there in my wardrobe, ready for the the crisp autumn air :-) 

 

 

 Burgundy is a beautiful color to use in our home decorating as well, especially this time of year. Don`t you agree?

 

 

Neutral grey colors, both warm and cold hues, marries very well wih the deep red colors. Play with hues and tones to find your personal favorite. Do you prefer the fresh rasberry color below, or a deeper burgundy hue, like the one on the chaiselong in the picture further up?

 A couple of weeks ago, I was attending the autumn news party at Slettvoll, and I immediately noticed their new, rasberry red/burgundy love seat! ♥♥

Moody Monday! Hope you got some  ideas, and some autumn inspiration ;-)

MASCULINE MONDAY

 

 

When fall arrives, the masculine colors, textiles and fashion trends always inspire me a bit extra! :-)

 

 Via.

 

This clean lined interior has a masculine, yet calm and cozy feel, created  by matte and muted wallcolors, soft mustard yellow textiles and a thick wool carpet on the floor. The picture is from Jotun Lady`s new color chart "Everyday Simplisity", and the styling is done by the always inspiring duo Kråkvik & D`Orazio. Needless to say at this time, I ♥ ♥ ♥ the industrial glas doors ! ;-))

 

 

The colors above are all from Jotun Lady`s "Everyday Simplisity". Great basic colors for your home this fall. Be creative, and make it more colorful and personal, by adding colors like mustard yellow, strong blues, or maybe a fresh rasberry red.

 

 

 

I find the masculine check and stripe psatterns looking balanced and sophisticated. Do you think it is to strict or boring?

Leather is another material that I think fits this style. Leather furniture, headboards, handles, and even some nice, worn boots fits in here:)

Even if everything in this room is dark colored, it doesn`t feel unpleasant or boring at all! This diningroom has caracter and it looks cozy and inviting, right?

The Picture is from Slettvoll`s wonderful product catalog.



 

 



Hope your week has started out wonderful!

 

  I will be back tomorrow, with pictures of a stylish, and very masculine apartment in Berlin.

 Stay tuned!

SLETTVOLL NEWS...

..SIMPLY FABULOUS!!

 

 

Slettvoll always hit me with huge amounts of inspiration!

This local furniture company, nails it everytime :-) Headquarters placed here in my hometown Ålesund, and the family owned factory located just outside the city for over 50 years!
Next week they launch their new fall catalog, and by looking at these pictures, I know it is going to be yet another  sucsess!

Patriot, and huge fan...OH YES :-)

 

 ♥  ♥ 
 

 

Nothing is left to chance! 

Slettvolls photos, styling, and atmosphere are always perfect, and the location used to present their furnitures, always breathtaking! I could actually just move right into this house tomorrow! ;)

 

A  muted, neutral color scheme, with a touch og mustard yellow accents. A balanced and cozy livingroom dressed to meat the fall and winter months, don`t you think?

 

 

Even bright white furniture gets the warm autumn feel, by adding some details. A darker rug, some soft textiles, plenty of nice t-light holders, and a hint of golden metals. Great combo!

 

 

 Tips! Recreate this stylish theme in your home, done in a weekend!
Try painting the walls in a super matte, dark and luscious color.
1.Dempet Sort and 3.Amsterdam, are both neutral, rich and beautiful wall colors. And why not cover a wall in stone to get the right look. The thin 2.slate panels above, are so easy to put up!!
 

 

 When decorating your home, always remember to include pesonal items in the room, like Slettvoll has done in this diningroom. The huge shelves are the perfect place for family photos, vases, books, or other favorite things. Create  your own style, give each room the important personality of a home.
 Get inspired, but don`t blue print a catalog styling!  ;-)
 

 

 

 Clear, glas vases and Autumn colored flowers brings a vibrant freshnes to the calm and muted rooms, don`t you agree?

An easy and affordable way to create that wow factor!

 

Tips! Bye a cheap, mixed bouquet of flowers you like, split it up and put them in different size vases around the house instead of all the flowers in one :-) The shorter you cut them, the longer they last!

 

Loving this dark bedroom, and the soft bed linnen! And on the ottaman in front you can se a hint of yet another beautiful accent color this fall at Slettvoll;) Take a look HERE
 

 

 Nice soft rug, a big fireplace, and clean lined furniture....ready for Autumn/Winter 2014 from Slettvoll :)
 

 

It is all in the details... a close up from the new catalog launched next week. Golden metal, dark, smokey glas and warm orange feathers.

I T  I S  F R I D A Y..,

Y E S!!

 

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

BLUSHING AUTUMN

 

 The last few weeks, I have been looking at what`s trending this fall, and I found a lot of make up vibes ;-)

 

 

 Jotun just launched three new color palettes, Everyday Balance (green hues), Everyday Simplicity (black/whites) , and Everyday Beauty...sheer skin tones and subdued reds, named Warm blush and Whispering red. The inspiring color chart, Jotun LADY Balance will be in store during week 37.

 

 Jotun Balance 2859 Whispering red
 

 

All these soft, balanced colors look like their taken right out of a make up kit, right? :) 

Perfect harmony! 

 

Neutral, grey,  matte,"Pigment" wallpaper from Borås Tapeter

 

 The sheer Nudes and soft Corals are just stunning when mixed with neutral grey walls, and crisp white details.
 

 Jotuns palette Everyday Blance , front wall: Jotun LADY Balance 7555 Soft Mint. Right wall: Jotun LADY Balance 7163 Minty Breeze.

 

Minty greens... perfectly calm and peaceful on their own, and also a perfect match when combined with the blushing red trend  this fall.

 

 

 One more trend inspired moodboard I made. Top images Via Down left, one more Jotun LADY Balance color , Everyday Beauty: 2024 Senses. And far right, the beautiful New Norm Storage jars

AUTUMN HUES

- GOLD AND BLUES -

 

 



 Oh hello everyone :-)

I am still around, and I have really missed the blog this summer. Vacation, loads of work, and our renovation project, are all reasons why the blog has been so quiet for some time.

 

I am so sorry!, but I am looking forward to sharing ideas, inspiration and interior design with you more frequently now ;-)  

I hope that all of you had a wonderful summer, and that you are just as happy as I am about the changing season, the new color schemes, and all the exiting autumn  news popping up everywhere!

Love it!

 

 

Royal Copehagen just launched their new deep blue, and black porcelain tableware. So beautiful, dark, and with a matte and silky surface. Take a look HERE 

 

 

  Today I really just want to show you a moodboard, an autumn forecast maybe. Picking up the colors I have seen most of both on the catwalk, and in the great world of interior design  right now. A lot of dark blues, soft warm tones and the trending touch of golden metal.

 

 

A favorite fashion designer, Elie Saab`s collection this fall. Shades of blue ;-)

♥

 

 

The golden hues creates a warm balance combined with colder blues, and mixed with  neutral black and white, you get an interesting and sophisticated look in your home this fall,

 

 

 

 HM home collection also include a lot of blue color this season. Deep night blue bed linnen is a winner I think :) Check out their new products HERE

Well...bring it on!!

 After a long,  sunny and warm summer outdoors, I am so ready for the rainy days, the falling leaves, lots of candle lights, and more time to be creative inside the house again, are you? :-D

 

 

I see that so many of you have been stopping by during the summer, and it makes me so happy! Welcome!, and feel free to leave a comment, ask questions, or just say hello in the comment field below. 

 

 

Have yourself a terrific tuesday everyone!
