Focus on Danish Interior Design Trends 2017

Brimming with new inspiration and lots of interior design ideas I have just returned from the largest exhibition of Danish and Scandinavian interior design and handicrafts in Denmark.

At this exhibition a large portion of the large Danish brands and suppliers of interior design in Denmark show of their take on Danish design. They showcase the products that we the consumers will see in the shops in Denmark over the course of the next year. Like in earlier years there is besides the booths of the brands much inspiration to be found in the FOCUS section. Here some of Denmark's most renouned interior design architects show their ideas for the interior design, colours and materials etc. of the coming season.

The new colours of Danish Design 2016-2017



About Interior Trends in Danish Design 2016-2017

In Danish design the colours are more dominating now than they have been for a long time.

In Denmark we have become more open and play with more risky colours, textures and materials in our choice of furniture and wall decorations.

We talk about five different scenes of colour, texture and materials beautifully combined with light and interior.

Today in Denmark it is popular to choose a multitude of materials. Rustic surfaces that look like coloured cement for the walls, furniture painted with paint containing chalk and wall papers and flagstones put into patterns. Even the dark nuances no longer frighten us.

The pastel colours and shiny surfaces go hand in hand with the rustic craftsmanship in both ceramics and wool that meet the half transparent glass in beautiful nuances. As a supplement we see the handcarved wood upholstered with leather and velour.

Metals, stone and marble is still popular. Modern Danish design play with the physical expressions and put together a home, where the personality shine through. 

  

Below I will show you some themes/decorations, where wellknown Danish interior designers show the most popular colours, materials and shapes in Denmark today. Be inspired by the different themes and do not hold back in Danish design most is allowed!

Theme: Artisan Dinning

In beautiful interaction with the world, the craftsmanship and proud traditions meet. Patterns and styles unite to express the good story, sit down by the dining table and share the world.



Theme: Red Dessert Lounge

A wide palet of warm red shades reminds us of the light of the sunset. We are captured in a mix of soft curves and surfaces that slowly transforms into a dark blue night sky added a touch of exotic atmosphere.



Theme: Off Beat Party

In the coloured contrasts and the unusual Off Beat-combination of materials, a fiest of graphic patterns with a dynamic expression arise.



Theme: Elemental Living

The pastel shades and the shiny surfaces meet the elements of nature explicated in sweeping lines and curved shapes.



Tema: Pop-up Morning

In the crisp light of a newborn morning, a dynamic collage of morning atmosphere appears and catches the movement, reflects the light and begins the day.

As said before do not be afraid to mix new and old, rustic and glossy materials, use more colours and yes you should bring out your brass candlesticks, when going for the hottest new Scandinavian design, It is all the rage these days.
