Collaboration Villa Enhörna X NCS Colour
Discover our collaboration with Swedish influencer Frida Sömskar. Frida is the force behind the Instagram account Villa Enhörna, a place where you can follow her journey as she renovates her home, a picturesque 20th century villa, placed in the south of Sweden. Frida has used Colourpin II during two stages in her renovation project. First, she used Colourpin to find the original colour of an old wooden cabinet, dated year 1910.
“Using my NCS Colourpin, I was able to find out exactly what colour had previously been used on this kitchen cabinet, and then paint the top I had built. What a colour! Once upon a time, this turquoise-blue-green color covered our entire kitchen. Delicious, isn’t it? – Frida Sömskar.
Frida then also used her Colourpin to repaint her kitchen. She wanted, part from reusing the old cabinets, also maintain the character.
“We didn´t want to lose the character of the old; our aim was to proceed carefully so that once the renovation was complete, you would recognise it from how it had looked before.”
She used Colourpin to identify the old colour and found out in NCS+ app that the NCS Notation was NCS S 2020-G90Y. Frida then adjusted it a little bit.
“When repainting, we chose to use a linseed oil paint that was a little bit lighter, slightly less colourful and took the opportunity to lessen the yellowness to compensate for the slight yellowing that had occurred over time. The result was NCS S 1515-G80Y.”
