New Nordic Colour: Decorating with a vibrant modern palette
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
ISBN: 9781849758758
Overview:
Step into a refreshed Nordic design story with New Nordic Colour, a stylish guide to infusing warmth, personality, and contemporary edge into traditionally light, minimalist spaces. Antonia af Petersens, a Swedish journalist with a cosmopolitan eye, invites readers to explore why colour has returned to Scandi interiors and how to wield it with confidence. The book blends colour theory with practical mood boards, room-by-room palettes, and real-home case studies, breaking down how hue choices influence mood, scale, and flow. You’ll discover how to balance vibrant accents with quiet neutrals, how to layer tones for depth, and how to select swatches that stand the test of daily living. With accessible explanations and beautiful photography, this hardcover serves both aspiring designers and colour-curious homeowners who want guestrooms that feel serene one day and energised the next. Published in the UK, New Nordic Colour is a tactile, inspirational resource that turns design aspiration into actionable steps you can apply to your own home.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
What sets New Nordic Colour apart is its thoughtful fusion of theory and practice within a distinctly Nordic lens. Rather than simply presenting pretty palettes, the book explains the why behind current colour shifts in Scandinavian homes and then translates those ideas into repeatable methods for selecting and combining hues. Ten Nordic interiors are explored as living laboratories, each illustrating how cultural context, light quality, and furnishings interact with colour to create atmosphere. Antonia af Petersens writes with warmth and clarity, making complex ideas about undertones, harmony, and balance feel approachable for beginners while still offering depth for seasoned design enthusiasts. The result is a practical manifesto for modern colour usage—one that helps readers craft spaces that are both visually striking and highly workable for everyday life.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This title is ideal for homeowners embarking on a colour-driven refresh, interior-design students seeking a grounded, real-world perspective, and design lovers who crave a Nordic twist on contemporary living. It also serves as a thoughtful gift for renters or parents preparing a family home, as well as BookTok and design-minded readers who want accessible, aesthetically pleasing inspiration with concrete steps. If you’re drawn to Scandinavian maximalism or simply want to make bolder choices without sacrificing calm, light-filled rooms, this book will speak to you. It’s a practical companion for anyone aiming to elevate their living spaces with personality, warmth, and modern polish.
