I believe that using lots of white can be overbearing. For this reason, accents such as paintings, rugs, plants, and throw pillows come into great use. Although it may sound simple, adding different patterns and colors can cause a room to clash and appear tacky or unpleasant.
Not very attractive, huh?
These Scandinavian designers use neutral-toned accessories and splashes of accenting colors for a more homely feel. (Also, asymmetry is used for a slightly less "square" look.)

I love how you approached this topic. You started by describing what the average Scandinavian home looks like and then you brought up the topic of what the designers are creating now. I fully agree with you though. Using too much of the color white is overbearing and adding too much color patterns is unpleasant to look at. Like you said, a great solution is to add a small accent. I personally love the design that they have created. Love your blog layout as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kendell! I love your approach and I believe that your response was personable and interesting. I agree with what you said about too much white being overbearing, and I also believe that, at times, it can look too official and feel unwelcoming. I love the pictures you added to show example, and your blog was very well-written. I believe that the neutral colored accents look great! I love your blog and can't wait to read your next post.
