AUTUMN OFFERS

HARMONIOUS COLOURS A N D M AT E R I A L S Resting comfortably in her armchair one evening, Anna sat immersed in thought, contemplating the importance of feeling comfortable in one’s home. Later, when Clara came by with two cups of tea, Anna asked her sister to share her thoughts on the matter. ”Soothing colours create well-being,” answered Clara promptly, and Anna quickly added her own love of nature’s materials and clean lines. The conversation, which continued until the early hours, has formed the framework for the sisters’ new interior collection, in which the colour scheme and the pure, simple expression are used to bring comfort and a cosy atmosphere to your home decor; for, as Anna is fond of saying, the simple expression often has a greater visual impact than the complex design. Create colour harmony in your home This season, Anna recommends decorating in a simple fashion while remaining colour-conscious. As such, this autumn’s interior collection includes a minimalist interplay between cool and warm materials, as well as a balanced range of colours that interact playfully with the complimentary relationship between green hues and reddish tones. The sisters invite you to explore the collection, which contains graceful terrazzo tables, elegant chairs, sparse metal shelves and geometric plant stands for nature’s flora. You will also find a selection of refined wooden kitchen utensils, a rustic stoneware dinner set, soft textiles – and much, much more. Welcome to a new season at Søstrene Grene.

Terrazzo table

with exclusive, one-of-a-kind top. Anna has explored the relationship between weight and lightness in the design, in which an elegant frame supports a table top made of terrazzo. Price per item

ÂŁ49.92

Terrazzo is an elegant composite material made of marble chips and cement, and the graphic patterns contained in the material create a wealth of contrasts. If you ask the sisters, terrazzo is without a doubt this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most distinguished material. One of the many advantages of terrazzo is that each table top offers a unique and lively pattern. The tables are available in two colour combinations.

ADD COLOUR TO YOUR HOME

T I P S F O R D E C O R AT I N G WITH COLOURS For many, colours can present something of a decorating challenge, and Anna has therefore created a list of tips on how you can successfully and easily use colour to create unity throughout your home.

UNIFIED DECOR

Anna recommends selecting one overall colour when decorating the rooms in your home, in order to create a sense of unity in the decor. You may also want to add additional colours or different hues of the primary colour, depending on the effect and atmosphere you are trying to create. The sisters always encourage you to choose the colours that bring you the most joy.

A TRANQUIL COLOUR SCHEME

If you would like to utilise colour to create a calming effect in your home, you may want to use the ’tone-on-tone’ technique, which consists of combining multiple hues of the same colour. This season, Anna has been particularly fascinated by the serene sense of colour harmony that is created by combining light and dark tones of the same colour. This collection therefore includes an array of green hues that can be combined in a most elegant fashion.

EXCITING CONTRASTS

As Anna reminds us, contrasting colours can add an interesting and exciting touch to the decor of any home. In this collection, Anna has focused on greens and reds due to their complimentary ability to amplify one other. She does recommend, however, that you avoid using equal amounts of each colour, as the contrast works best with unequal doses.

BLACK-WHITE-GREY

Draw added attention to the colours in your home by adding black, white and grey elements. Whether or not these three are actually colours is not a matter of concern for Anna, but she is fond of using them whenever she decorates. In the picture on the right, you can see how the black and white pieces are used to accentuate the home’s green and red tones.

Rug

with ethnic-inspired print in black and white. Ready as an immediate addition to your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decor, as Clara reminds us. Price per item

ÂŁ40.90

Blanket

for wrapping yourself up on cool autumn nights. Available in three colours. Price per item

£22.60

The rug’s subtle, black-and-white pattern serves as a fantastic backdrop for the autumn’s colours.

Cushions

of finely woven, quality fabric with solid structure. Perfect for a cosy corner in your home, if you ask Anna. Available in seven colours and two sizes. Price per item from

£7.99

Blanket

with fine fringes. As Anna sees it, the blanket can be used as a stylish element in your home’s decor – even when it is not in use. Price per item

£22.60

Metal boxes

in multiple sizes. Give your storage space a warm touch to brighten up your home’s decor. Available in three colours. Price per item from

£6.50 Sculpted keepsake tins

£3.14

in full-size format. Anna often uses mirrors when decorating smaller rooms to make them seem bigger. Price per item

ÂŁ26.58

Functional shelves Function and space are the two elements Anna has worked with in designing these shelves. Incorporate these shelves wherever you wish in your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decor, as they can be hung almost anywhere. Available in three models and three colours. Price per item from

ÂŁ9.34

Floor runner

£20.19

Vases

T H E S I S T E R S R E C O M M E ND T H A T Y O U F O C U S O N T H E E L E M E N T S T H AT C A N M A K E A W O N D E R F U L D I F F E R E N C E IN YOUR HOMEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DECOR.

D E C O R AT I N G W I T H P L A N T S

S C U L P T U R A L B O TA N Y Nature is a type of beauty that humans can only attempt to replicate, which is why the sisters recommend bringing some of the natural world into your home. Put nature on elegant display in sculptural plant stands with geometric shapes that accentuate organic plant forms.

G R A C E F U L LY G R E E N

Anna has a special fondness for green plants, which go tone-on-tone with the green elements in this autumn’s collection. In addition to being highly decorative, plants add life and vitality to the home.

THE RIGHT PLANT

Finding the right plant for your home is key. You should not choose a plant simply for its decorative qualities; instead, you should consider what particular needs it may have. Some plants require a great deal of daily sunlight, while others thrive in the shadows. Clara reminds you that a beautiful plant is a well-cared-for plant.

D E C O R AT E I N L E V E L S

Once you have selected your preferred plant types, it is time to arrange them throughout your home. The sisters’ new plant stands allow you to display your flora on several levels, which makes your green delights appear both lightweight and graceful. You can display the plant stands individually or create tiny oases around the house by grouping them together. The smallest stand is suitable for display on either the floor or a table, in Anna’s opinion.

Chair

with elegant angles and organic forms. Available in six colours. Price per item

ÂŁ38.80

Plant stand

in a simple and lightweight design idiom that appeals to those fond of pure lines. Available in three sizes and multiple colours. Price per item from

ÂŁ6.54 When decorating your home, the colour yellow can be used to liven up an otherwise established colour scheme. Playing with colours is quite fun, and Anna challenges you to let your creativity and imagination run wild.

WHEN FUNCTIONALITY AND CLEAN LINES COME TOGETHER TO FORM AN ELEGANT NEW FURNITURE PIECE.

CHA I R S AVA I LA B LE F OR SA LE F R OM 2 1 SEPTEM B ER

The combination of multiple hues of the same base colour can create a tranquil sense of harmony in your home’s decor. Here, Anna has assembled various green nuances in the form of a chair, plant stands and plant life.

The sisters have decided to include the chair in this year’s autumn collection due to its harmonious colour composition and tactile contrast, which arises in the encounter between the structure of the seat and the chair’s matt legs.

Chair

with sleek appearance. The chair’s elegant frame is painted using a surface technique that gives the frame and seat a tone-on-tone appearance. Price per item

£38.80

THE SISTERS SUGGEST COMBINING THE TWO GREEN HUES WITH TRANQUIL GREY FOR A CLEAN, BALANCED LOOK.

KITCHEN DECOR

A FUNCTIONAL AND HARMONIOUS KITCHEN For many, the kitchen is the place in the home where we spend most of our time. That is precisely why the sisters recommend decorating the kitchen with regard for everyday activity and the atmosphere you wish the space to embody. Convert your kitchen into a pleasant oasis with room for cosy conversation and efficient everyday cooking.

F U N C T I O N A L A N D D E C O R AT I V E S T O R A G E

Give the cups, plates and the other utensils that you use most a prominent place in the kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either on a wall-mounted shelf or shelving unit. Anna sees this as a means of creating personal and practical decor, as everyday utensils are transformed into functional decoration and kept where you can quickly and easily find everything you need.

N AT U R A L M AT E R I A L S

The autumn collection offers an array of materials such as acacia wood and terrazzo that can be combined to create a tremendous sense of harmony. Combine the warmth of wood with the cool quality of terrazzo to form an interesting contrast that accentuates the materialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unique characteristics.

GREEN LIVING

Cultivate herbs and other edible plants in your kitchen so that you will never go without fresh seasoning or green delights while cooking. The sisters also recommend displaying lovely fruits and vegetables in decorative bowls and dishes. Tomatoes, for example, cannot withstand the cold very well, which is why it may be preferable to arrange them on the kitchen table or shelf.

Spoon

made of genuine acacia wood. Use it to serve salt or other spices. Price per item

£1.96

According to the sisters, the stoneware’s design idiom creates an elegant illusion through its base that bears the full weight of the frame’s shape.

Stoneware bowl

with rustic, authentic exterior and colour-glazed interior. Available in two colours and two sizes. Price per item from

£3.70

Tactile stoneware

with retro-inspired design and references to the simplicity of yesteryear. Available in two colours. Price per item from

ÂŁ2.66

Terrazzo for the kitchen

in two sizes. Clara suggests using these plates for stylish food preparation and serving. Price per item from

ÂŁ4.66

Cutting board

ÂŁ6.84

The terrazzo plates are available in two eye-catching colour combinations that can brighten up any kitchen.

The sisters never keep their tomatoes in the refrigerator in order to maintain their fresh taste and aroma. This also gives Anna the opportunity to arrange the vegetables on attractive and rustic tableware.

When Anna designed the shelves, she took particular care to create separate spaces and nooks to store her favourite kitchen utensils.

Metal box

with enough room for odds and ends that would otherwise take up space. Available in three colours and three sizes. Price per item from

ÂŁ6.50 The collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metal shelves and boxes are designed to serve as simple storage solutions that are appealing to the eye, as Clara explains.

Metal shelves

in three distinct green tones. Hang the shelves individually or assemble groups of two or more. Available in three models and three colours. Price per item from
