Spring's new colors

[February 2024]

Spring's new colors at Norrgavel draw inspiration from nature's awakening. After the long winter hibernation of nature, the first signs of spring often evoke strong emotions in us. The joy and hope that awaken when you spot the first snowdrops peeking out, defying the cold and drab gray earth. And the burgeoning vitality in the form of winter aconite, like small yellow exclamation marks – hello life!

The eternal cycle of the seasons, where spring represents the rebirth of nature.

The awakening of nature can also be a vital source of inspiration in our approach to interior design. Embracing the joy of surrounding ourselves with colors inspired by nature's palette and comfortable natural materials that withstand everyday life. Healthy materials that are part of the natural cycle.

The choice of colors in the home enhances and clarifies a feeling – personal choices that tell a story about who we are. The furniture colors at Norrgavel are chosen with great care, and all colors are developed to work well together and endure over time. By combining different colors in the interior, one can create an expression that truly feels genuine and reflects their personality. Embrace the vitality of spring and all natural possibilities!

The work behind spring's new colors

The new furniture colors are developed with inspiration drawn from nature. The Norrgavel team that worked on selecting the new colors describes the process behind:

"It has been incredibly enjoyable to work with this year's new lacquer and tempera colors. Both how the colors are experienced individually and how they interact with each other gave us a lot of inspiration. It's a lively and harmonious color palette inspired by nature's multifaceted palette. Like Dimgrön 24 – a delightful color that demands attention while also being incredibly easy to integrate and adapt to other interior designs."

Finally, here are some tips on how to think if you want to add more color to your home:

"Start by considering which colors you appreciate the most and which suit your personality. Decorating a room with color involves choosing wall paint, furniture color, and of course textiles; such as upholstery fabrics, curtains, rugs, cushions, and throws. Even everyday objects and the paintings you hang on the walls contribute with distinct color elements. When decorating with color, you can either choose several different shades from the same color palette, for a calmer atmosphere in the room. Alternatively, you can completely break away by mixing lighter shades with vibrant accents of, for example, green, yellow, or pink. There are really no rules that one must adhere to here - just plenty of opportunities to create a genuine and personal interior. Bold color choices create an interesting dynamic and energy in the room. Colorful rooms to simply enjoy being in."

VANILLA YELLOW 24 (NCS S0510-G90Y)

Or the invigorating vanilla yellow bouquet on the dining table, spreading a discreet floral scent in the room. A soft hue that evokes heartfelt emotions.

SALMON PINK 24 (NCS S2020-Y60R)
