Warm and natural home: – I would rather break up with colored cushions, flowers, and vases than have "screaming" colors on the wall
A couple discusses their preference for a warm, natural aesthetic in their new home over vibrant wall colors, emphasizing the personal and secure feel of their living space.
Iselin Kværneng and her partner Anders Svartsund have recently moved into a detached house in Rælingen, Norway, after dreaming of their own home with a garden and a double garage. They have transitioned from living in various apartment complexes to enjoying the freedom of making their own choices regarding the exterior and color of their house. This shift has brought them a renewed sense of fulfillment as they settle into their new life.
The couple places great importance on creating a home that feels safe, authentic, and personal. Iselin expresses her love for the large windows in their living room, which provide scenic views of different weather conditions – from sunrises to storms – bringing a dynamic yet comforting atmosphere to their living space. This connection to nature and the environment significantly enhances their overall experience in the home.
Rather than opting for bold and loud colors on the walls, Iselin prefers to introduce color through accessories like cushions and flowers, allowing for a more subdued and harmonious aesthetic. This preference reflects a larger trend towards cozy, natural homes that prioritize comfort and personal expression over stark design choices, showcasing the evolving tastes of modern homeowners in Norway.
