Colorful Caprice

Yesterday we kicked off the New Year with a fresh start and a clean slate of Scandinavian modernism. This week we will be serving up handfuls of home tours full of style and charisma. Today we’ll supply heaps of color with a side of optimism and eclecticism.

This is the home of interior designer Marie Olsson Nylander in Arild, Sweden. Nylander has gathered bold colors and vivid patterns from around the globe, all nestled beautifully inside a historic canvas.

A table from Egypt, a door from Denmark, a kitchen island from the Czech Republic, fabrics over 100-years-old, and a vast collection of vintage hats all reside under this roof and all just a few hundred yards from the beach.

Devour the original article (from Swedish magazine Residence) with the help of Google Translate. Nylander generously shares her sources and the story of how she landed in this simple and intricate country home.

Come by tomorrow to see two different sides of Paris in a French dichotomy.
