斯堪的纳维亚风格长期以来一直与光线、线条简洁的空间或简约的单色室内相联系。然而，近年来，在时尚的北欧家庭中，色彩的色调已经发生了戏剧性的变化，不再是淡色、冷色调，而是戏剧性、更深、更有个性的色彩。为什么北欧人突然对这种颜色表示欢迎呢?它是如何被使用的呢?

除了讨论这一转变和分析***的色彩方案的理论外，在新北欧色彩的室内设计中，作者彼得森为你的家庭选择色彩提供了专家建议。接着她走访了10个被分为三种不同类型的北欧家庭。深色折衷方案的特点是深沉而强烈的色彩:黄昏的蓝色、风暴的灰色、森林的绿色和靛蓝，所有这些都受到北欧风景中更具戏剧性的色彩启发。大胆的强调集中在突出细节并增加人物形象上——比如深红色的浆果灌木或秋天的北桦树林的黄褐色色调。最后，在雄伟的意大利面中，安东尼娅为一种非常现代的效果，提供了一种对内部装饰有强烈而微妙的装饰感觉。

这些独特的北欧住宅有个共同之处--普通白墙和单色调色板上被丰富的、复杂的、充满活力的色彩所取代。

Scandinavian style has long been associated with light, clean-lined spaces or pared-down monochrome interiors. However, in recent years the colour palette has seen a dramatic shift  away from pale, cool shades and dramatic, darker and more characterful hues have begun to appear in stylish Nordic homes. Why have the Scandinavians suddenly welcomed colour in this way and how is it being used?

As well as discussing the theories behind this shift and analysis of the most popular colour schemes, inNew Nordic Colour interiors writer Antonia af Petersen offers expert advice on choosing colour for your home. She goes on to visit 10 Nordic homes that are divided into three different types. 'Dark Eclectic' schemes feature deep, intense hues: dusk blue, storm grey, forest green and indigo, all inspired by the more dramatic tones of the Nordic landscape. 'Bold Accents' focuses on the details that stand out and add character – think deep red berry bushes or the russet tones of the northern birch forests in Autumn. Finally, in 'Majestic Pastels' Antonia provides a glimpse into interiors decorated in strong but subtle pastels for a remarkably modern effect.

These unique Nordic homes all have one thing in common – plain white walls and monochrome palettes have been replaced with rich, complex and vibrant hues.
