Gustavian

Inspiration is everywhere in nature..and most importantly your self."
-Niche

The fusion of Swedish taste and styles imported by King Gustav III during his reign (from 1775-1792), resulted in the Gustavanian style, a look which continues to be a style so unmistakably Swedish today, and so timeless. 

  
The Gustavian style can be described as a cleaner more restrained and simpler interpretation of the French Louis XV and Louis XVI style of furniture design. As Swedish furniture makers evolved throughout the late 1700's and early 1800's, Swedish Gustavian influenced furniture became a mainstay in European Neoclassical period collections. Initially, Gustavian furniture was reserved for royal palaces.  However, the style soon gained popularity with the average citizen.   While palaces were graced with gilded furniture, countryside homes were decorated with painted furniture; either white-washed or painted gray or soft cream.
The light painted finishes provided a reflective quality that was desired during the long dark winters. The colors most frequently associated with Gustavian style are: soft, dusty grayish-blues sometimes with a greenish tint; soft blueish-gray; and creams and light beige or tan tones. However sometimes one may find furniture pieces or fabrics in brighter hues.The soft Swedish country palette grew from the need to keep interiors light during the short, sometimes murky winter days
