Gustavian Swedish

In 1771 the young, future King of Sweden returned from a lengthy stay at the court of Louis XVI at Versailles. The monarch was highly influenced by the Neoclassical style and sought to recreate it in Sweden. With the delicious push/pull of rather ornate detailing combined with incredibly soft and soothing color palettes, the Scandinavian Swedish Gustavian style is right at home in today’s eclectic decor styles. Whether you choose a single piece (say, a vintage mirror?) to bring texture to a minimalist room, or you want to bring this lush style to every room, start here.
