home: found this [ DEKORERA collection – IKEA ]

A new collection from IKEA always gets us excited, and this new one called DEKORERA is a cool, moody selection that is perfect for right now.

‘As the holidays approach and the nights lengthen, we’re reminded of the dark, brooding portraits and still-lifes that typify the art of 17th century Dutch master painters like Rembrandt, Vermeer and Hals, full of swirling, golden light, playful domestic scenes, and shadowy corners’

Combining the colours and style of these artists with Scandinavian craftsmanship the DEKORERA collection is a winner for winter.
