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 - EUR 35 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 - GBP 69 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?
Limited-Edition Globo Print - $56.85 I love this limited-edition art print and believe that it can bring a happy, carefree tone to any room.
The Quinton Pink Mini Resin Elephant Head by White Faux Taxidermy - $29.99 Hello, little pink elephant! This quirky faux taxidermy piece is such a fun decoration.
All-Brass Wall Sconce - $85 This amazing brass twin sconce is actually a handmade piece. I love the pairing of an industrial design with a glamorous material.
HK Living Cross Hook - EUR 5.95 This little black "X" is actually a wall hook that comes in various sizes and colors, meaning there are lots and lots of different ways to combine a bunch as a functional wall decoration.
Organic Sheepskin, Dappled Gray - EUR 140 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 - EUR 119 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 - $597.33 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.
'Personality' Poster - EUR 55 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 - $110.26 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.
Villi Pohjola Pillow Case, White/Black - EUR 63 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.
Family Hearts Print - GBP 35 Here's another art print that's simple yet beautiful. The graphic black heart symbolizes love of family, and the small French text translates to "Family is important to us." It would be great for kids' rooms and every room.
Brass Orb Himmeli by Hruskaa - $83 This brass orb mobile is based on the finnish Himmeli tradition. It's a perfect form of delicate and geometric edges that can add a contemporary touch.
Kek Amsterdam 088 Fish Wallpaper, Black/White - EUR 109.95 How fun is this black and white fish wallpaper? Its simple repetitive pattern can beautify a wall and would even look great combined with colored decorative accents.
Snurk Twirre Pillowcase, Pink - EUR 44.95 This is not an actual knit pillow but a high-quality print. It looks totally cushy and soft and would make a great addition to a white or black sofa.
Pendant Light - GBP 69 Although the glare from bare bulbs can be annoying, I'm flirting with the idea of having one (or a few) in my home. This one by Toast has a fabric cord that's available in many colors.
Coral Geo Throw Pillow by Sandra Arduini - $20 I love this pink geometric pattern on the off-white background. Plus, it's a handmade piece at a great price.
ML42 Bar Stool, Black Stained Beech and Brass - EUR 559 Midcentury design gets an update in this ML42 stool by Mogens Lassen. The sleek black finish and brass details are highly appropriate for the look we're going for.
Martini Side Table, Brass - $195 This impressive modernist brass side table has the look of a sculpture, but it's still a functional and handy table that you can tuck in by the sofa.
