Colours and patterns

"What colour scheme are we going to have?" Clara asks with curiosity, whilst Anna embarks on refreshing the sisters' living room. "Red, white, blue, beige?" she guesses eagerly. "Time will tell, dear sister," Anna responds with a smile.

At Søstrene Grene, you can always find a wealth of colourful interiors, decorations, furniture, accessories, and much more. “There is something to be found for the experimental types as well as for those who favour something more understated,” Anna says. “Everyone should be able to find their favourite colour,” Clara continues. “And do not hesitate to incorporate imaginative and lovely patterns into your décor,” Anna suggests. “It can create a personal and unique expression.”

The sisters welcome you to their wide range of inspiration and ideas for colourful décor, celebrations, creative projects, and more. Be inspired by Anna and Clara to create beautiful plays of colour in your home and everyday life.

Bring colour into your home

Decorate your home with lovely strokes of colour and patterns, breathing life and personality into every room. “Only the imagination sets limits,” as the sisters often say.

The sisters have chosen to paint a wall in their nephew and nieces' children’s room a delightful shade of green. On this green wall, Anna has painted soft shapes in various colours, creating a charming and playful atmosphere in the room. “There is almost an entire rainbow in here,” Clara chuckles, pointing towards the children's colourful toys.

The sisters gently remind you that wooden furniture can easily be transformed with a touch of your favourite colour. Anna enjoys using her leftover paint to rejuvenate old furniture. With a beautiful light blue from a past project, she paints a small shelf in the kitchen. This shelf now hosts the sisters' collection of cups in assorted colours and patterns. “Now, one can easily choose their favourite mug for a cup of tea,” she remarks enthusiastically.

“Colourful décor does not necessarily have to be vibrant,” Anna says. You can effortlessly introduce life and colour into your home with subtle details, pastel hues, and delicate textures. Anna has adorned the sisters' home with elegant wooden furniture in natural hues. “You can easily add a splash of colour with these charming ceramic knobs,” she says, attaching the pink knobs to a chest of drawers. The pink tones are echoed in Clara’s fresh bouquet of flowers, gracing the dining table.

“You can mix different textures in the same colour or tone to create a unique and slightly subtle colour look,” Clara suggests. Allow the soft teddy chairs to contrast with the raw ceramic vases and wooden furnishings. “It results in a delightful interplay of harmonious colours and contrasting textures,” Anna notes.

Anna adores unleashing her creativity when adorning the rooms in the sisters’ home. In their creative DIY universe, you can find inspiration to leave your personal and unique mark on your home. Here, Anna has compiled guides, tips, and tricks for her favourite projects, effortlessly introducing colour and patterns into your home:

• Craft a stunning gallery wall with colourful posters and frames
• Create a voluminous papier-mâché frame for a mirror
• Beautify a table with an attractive tiled tray
• Weave an artwork from yarn remnants
• Fold a pleated lampshade
• Refresh your plant pots with paint
• Assemble exquisite everlasting bouquets in crepe paper

“Creative endeavours are a wonderful way to introduce a touch of colour into the home,” Anna says. “And there is always the option to create something new when a change is desired,” Clara adds.

Allow the colours to take centre stage when hosting a party or during the festive seasons. The sisters enjoy inviting their loved ones to a garden party in the summer warmth. Together, they elegantly decorate with various decorations and tableware. Anna suggests mixing different flowers in similar colour tones for the table. It brings harmony without monotony, she believes. Combine your favourite flowers with wild blossoms and a few flowering branches for a relaxed yet stylish look, perfect for garden parties.

In their table setting, Anna and Clara utilise classic colour theory, which suggests that yellow and purple are complementary colours. “Thus, these colours are opposites, but they complement each other exquisitely,” Anna explains. This approach achieves both harmony and a dynamic appearance. The yellow colour features in several shades, from the pale-yellow napkin to the darker candle holders, while the neutral tablecloth and cream-coloured crockery provide a stunning backdrop for this colour interplay.

Anna and Clara believe it is vital to cater to every decorating preference. Together, they have curated a big selection of hobby items, kitchen utensils, interior elements, furniture, decorations, accessories, and much more, all in a variety of lovely colours and patterns. “Oh, the joy that colours can bring,” Clara smiles.
