We’ve featured before the remodel of a 19th-century house in Härnösand, Sweden by Sofia Nyman of Skälso Arkitekter. Outside, the wood house is painted blackish-green while inside, inky shades of gray commingle. For those keen on the monochromatic look, Nyman gets it right layering shades of gray and black with moments of light wood. Here is a list of similar sources, many of which are Scandinavian favorites (Ikea, Hay, and Ferm Living).

Materials
Above: For a color match to the wall and floor paint, Farrow & Ball’s Down Pipe is a deep, cool gray; $99 per gallon.
Lighting
Above: The Ikea Sinnerlig Pendant Lamp in woven bamboo is $69.99. Above: The Arne Jacobsen Black AJ Floor Lamp is $1,173 at Design Within Reach.
Above: The Prytzes use an Ikea Sinnerlig Cork Bench (no longer available) designed by Isle Crawford as their coffee table. For something similar, the oak wood Hay Triangle Leg Bench comes in two sizes; from $1,195.
