Pia’s Picks: dreamy rooms
23.7.2021
I like many things, but my apartment can’t fit them all. So, many products end up in my watch list instead of my shopping cart. This week it’s ombré designs.
I’m sensitive to bright colours. I feel nauseous seeing stark contrasts. That’s why I like colour gradients. They’re soft and already hint at what colour will follow. A light colour blends into the dark and vice versa. Just like a sunset, whose soft colour gradient isn’t disrupted by anything. There’s something dreamy about it. The effect is perfect for dreamy people such as me who can’t decide on a single colour.
Gradient dinnerware, such as Kave Home’s, looks instantly chic – regardless of shape or material. If it’s made of glass, you'll see a play of light and shadow on the table.
The pendant lamp «Ombre» by Frandsen plays with transparency and light. At the same time, the gradient camouflages the light bulb and accentuates the simple shape of the overall lamp.
Thanks to the many shades, ombré designs quickly adapt to any room, no matter how you use them. Maybe that’s why there’s no big hype about them in interior design. Colour gradients are subtle patterns. Thanks to that, they don’t have an expiration date.
