Soft light drifts through the linen curtains and the white decor, illuminating the formal furniture and the new works of Jouy; Rooms that feel positively angelic in their grace and tranquility – that’s Swedish style at its best. Those who appreciate mid-1700s French expressions but prefer a lighter and more casual approach are drawn to this look. The result is: the style is also very refined – but also poetic. Swedish style combines country charm with a smaller size, warmth and simplicity with elegance and a sense of space and light. Although inspired by the past, it is also contemporary and not only beautiful, but also practical.
The sparse lines and light colors most often associated with this style originate from the style that came out under the influence of King Gustav III of Sweden (1771-92). He appropriated this austere neo-classicism of Louis XVI, blended it with Rococo grace and gave it a softer, distinctly Swedish style.
The birth aspect;
Swedish style can range from earthy rusticity to brilliantly sophisticated, and you can opt for one extreme or the other, or a combination of both.
The distinguishing elements are transparent colors, clean lines, and infused, natural materials, placed in a way that emphasizes light and space. Avoid clutter and choose pale woods, plain or restrained fabrics, painted furniture and lots of sparkling glass and mirrors. Small and lightweight accessories…
Walls:
To paint the walls painted furniture should be pleasant, but not overwhelming, a light color such as the tone of the line should be preferred.
Floor:
Eighteenth-century Swedish wooden floors were largely laid in natural tones; Modern renovations may include a thin white wash to lighten the original effect.
If you are installing a new wooden panel, avoid dark woods such as oak and opt for ash; on the existing floors, if it is darker, it could be lit from the lime wash. Painted tables are equally attractive – an off-white base with diamond patterns or floral borders would be a good choice.
The rugs aren’t the best fit, but you could get away with one color, neutral style if it’s not too luxurious. An additional selection of narrow, flat woven rugs and runners will give it a lot of cred – come in cream, ivory, or taupe for a sophisticated, modern look.
Lights:
The Swedish style shows the mastery of the use of light, especially the reflection and refraction in glass and shiny metal, resulting in a very functional and also very attractive appearance. Luce’s specialty is a chandelier made of glass and bronze during the eighteenth century, easily reproduced in simple or complex form, and decorated with art.

Colors:
Choose calm, pale colors for their ability to reflect light. Gustavian pearl tones include white, blue, light blue, sable, gray-gray and silver.
Fabrics:
Textiles are a big part of the Swedish green style, and no form creates the look as effectively as the work de Jouy with stage motifs (French for linen work). The Swedish look is light and airy and this theme is continued with very soft furnishings. Incorruptible linens are aptly ethereal, especially windows, blues, yellows, and greens. Models that are quite robust – gingham and strong checks, or beautiful and delicate, perhaps in the form of long trailing florals.
Accessories:
The beauty and simplicity of the Swedish face would be lost by the addition of too many fussy accessories. Beautiful glass, silver and ceramic – glass drinking glasses, smooth silver bowls and white ceramic vessels will be made. and yet in any place a charming display. Mirrors with carved and gilded panels are another way to add a touch of beautiful shimmer, while pale wooden mirrors make for a more elaborate look.
Tools:
country pieces make an excellent rustic picture decoration, whether it’s sad or simple in a single color wood panel. spot Furniture sets that use soft curves, slender tapered legs, straight shapes, delicate carvings, and painted paintings have a great elegance that will fit into modern homes. Gustavian-style reproduction furniture is becoming easier to find and you can access the look through painting sugar-almond colors in plains still elegant wooden seats, tables, chests, shelves and glass front cabinets. The overall effect should be easy and infused, mixing old with new pieces, junk shop finds with family value. Aim for a well-furnished and well-balanced look – this furniture needs space to breathe, and rooms should be informal and verging on cluttered, while still maintaining a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
