How can we use this knowledge to our advantage in our everyday
lives, or more specifically – in our homes?
“It’s only natural that green used to be the predominant colour in our
ancient ancestors’ homes. Thousands of years later, green still takes
hold of us and makes us feel relaxed, harmonious and social. Because
of this, green is a great colour to bring into your home, and there are
many shades to choose from. On a more personal level, because I
have poor eyesight, colours help me clarify objects and distinguish
them from one another. It’s a method I use to feel more in control of
my surroundings.”

Getting back to basics with a sustainable agenda in mind is an
important trend going forward, and by investing in good quality and
timeless designs we can avoid the growth of use-and-throw culture.
At the same time, we can’t deny the human need for change every
once in a while.
How can we use colour to take another look at what we already own?
“Painting your walls a new colour every season isn’t my idea of
sustainable. Start by investigating your home. Find the purpose of
each room and the mood you want to achieve. Then choose your
palette. If you want to change it after a while, my best tip is to be bold
and paint the ceiling a contrasting colour. It will make the room softer
and more harmonious.”

Speaking of harmony, Tekla often appears in her own photographs
dressed in an outfit that flawlessly matches the setting. How do you
achieve such a visually coherent and consistent lifestyle? We want
some insight into how to achieve that Instagrammable life!
“I love creating scenery that I’m a part of and using my body as a way
of saying something about the scale and reality of the location in the
photo. It’s become my obsession and it only has one secret: research
and planning. Sorry!”
“Painting your walls a
new colour every season isn’t
my idea of sustainable”
