I’ve been noticing mid blue is on the rise in homes in Scandinavia, and the good news is, its way easier to pull off than it’s even darker cousins. This one-bedroom apartment in Gothenburg has been painted in Blåis by Jotun Lady, with touches of bright white for contrast, as well as subtle brown and beige accents. Look closely and you’ll also spot many of the lovely original 1920s details, such as high ceilings, parquet flooring and a glass panel door. All in all, a truly lovely home, just waiting for someone to move in and make it their own! Gothenburg anyone?

What do you think? Tempted to go over to the dark side, even if it’s just the one wall?! 

I love how this blue appears darker or lighter depending on how the light hits it. I actually thought each room was painted in a different colour at first glance, but Bon Interior assure me it’s all one tone! 

In case you need a little more persuasion, here are some other lovely Scandinavian homes in dramatic, dark tones: 

A sophisticated Swedish homes in dark tones (love this one!)

Or you could just snap up this apartment (it’s for sale!). 

I’m off to take it easy after a very long day on set yesterday. It all went well though and I can’t wait to share the results with you in October. Phew!

Do you have any fun plans for today?
