Guest Picks: Scandinavian With a Shot of Pink
Warm up a stark color palette with rosy and shiny accessories, artwork and furniture
If you are a fan of Scandinavian decor, then you're probably already acquainted with the black and white color combination. Black geometric accents in a white space is a typical decorating style in Northern Europe. These interiors can, however, be stark and stiff sometimes. But that's never the case when you add warm pink hues and shiny brass accessories. The following list is only a small portion of all the amazing, creative products you can find out there to decorate in this style. — Eleni from My Paradissi
POV Candleholder
I love the 3-D illusion created by this geometric candle sconce. It comes in many colors to match all styles of interiors and can be hung in clusters for amplified impact.
Brass Pot Stand
This solid brass trivet by Japanese designer Oji Masanori is more a statement art piece for the home than a functional element. Isn't it impressive?

All-Brass Wall Sconce
This amazing brass twin sconce is actually a handmade piece. I love the pairing of an industrial design with a glamorous material.

I sometimes feel that I just can't live without something furry in my life. This two-toned sheepskin looks too warm and soft to pass up.
Brass Toolholder
I love how sturdy and stark these cast brass vases look. They have a sort of industrial chic quality, and I'd be more than happy to add them to my home decor.
Cross Brass Coffee Table for Kate Sylvester
This designer coffee table is a bit pricey, but it's perfect because of its light pink top and polished brass legs. It has a feminine kind of beauty.

Ylva Skarp is a famous calligrapher and has used her talent to create a beautiful series of simple statement art prints with single-word motivations. This one says "Personality"; the others are "Creativity," "Curiosity" and "Integrity."
DSW Eames Plastic Side Chair, Pink
Now tell me, isn't this chair a piece of candy? The pink plastic seat eases up with the black and wood of the legs. It would make a great addition to an all-white interior.

The tribal arrows, antlers and campfire patterns of this pillow are utterly gorgeous! The black and white theme makes it easy to add to a Scandinavian-inspired interior.

I love this pink geometric pattern on the off-white background. Plus, it's a handmade piece at a great price.
