A Traditional Home Gets A Scandinavian Upgrade
Cool colors, varying textures, and furniture pieces in clean lines do the trick
Designer Iriss Mangio thought she had an impossible job ahead of her when the owner of a modern-meets-traditional home wanted a Scandinavian look without doing any repainting. “Ang una niyang pinakita sa akin is Scandinavian. She wanted clean colors, marble, a touch of pink, and then black and white,” says Iriss.
“Nung unang tiningnan ko yung picture with the house, sabi ko impossible kasi hindi puwede i-repaint. But I tried my best to find furniture pieces na babagay sa theme niya na at the same time, hindi magca-clash du’n sa house. Kailangan ko sila mapagtagpo.”
But make the two styles meet, she did. Iriss picked out pieces in clean lines following the client’s color palette. A few touches of color like blush were also added. For contrast, she put in a bit of gold, silver, and black. Fuzzy throws and other similar textures made the space more inviting. Her secret to marrying the two styles successfully? Being consistent and deliberate when putting pieces together.
