Scandinavians “do” color. They do it well. Red and green complementary colors, with a very deep shaded green, adds interest and is one of the best ways to use complementary colors. Using soft gray in any color combination adds a sort of neutral zone (perhaps used in a countertop or a wall color) which allows each “feature” color to pop. I’m seeing gray more and more as an important foundation piece in a sophisticated color scheme.
Red walls, green/black cabinetry, gray countertops and stainless appliances?
A lovely vignette of Scandinavian grays and the contrast of rich wood. It doesn’t take much to make a stunning statement…shot by susan in Copenhagen
Another deep blue colored building facade in Copenhagen. I see inspiration for colors in a kitchen design via the blue and the textured ivory fabric, maybe with accents of green or a medium gray? Maybe gray painted floors, deep blue/gray cabinetry, light warm gray countertops and walls as one idea..
A lovely store in Copenhagen. What strikes me is the color of the lettering against the blue/gray stone facade. I can see those colors, along with white or a soft, warm gray, used as inspiration in a kitchen design. Fun to imagine how… Image by Susan
