A Norwegian Home Gets The Dark Treatment, And It’s Beautiful!
People often refer to Scandinavian interior design as a ‘trend’ – but to me (and I’m pretty sure all Scandinavians) it’s anything but. The beauty of Scandinavian design is that’s is timeless and surprisingly versatile – the simplicity means it blends with different styles, eras and architectural elements. And as this home shows, it definitely doesn’t need to be all about the white / light look! Interior stylist and visual storyteller Catrine Svellingen has transformed her home in Bergen, Norway into a luxurious yet calm sanctuary using a delicious deep blue, rich greens and black and peach accents. The furniture is a mix of elegant contemporary classics, new Nordic design and the occasional IKEA piece for a smart yet homely feel. Are you ready to take a tour?

Shock, horror – a TV! Ha ha! It blends in so well it’s barely noticeable too – another reason to go for a darker wall colour!
I love the colour combinations (I’m just trying to find out the exact shade she’s used in the living room and will hopefully be able to stop by and update the post shortly.
