My sitting room update / exclusive reader offer!

Decorating my home is like painting the Forth bridge - no sooner have I finished one room and I'm dreaming about renovating another! Do you feel like that too? The one area in our home which has been most neglected seems to be the sitting room - I've never really had enough shelf space. And the answer came in a mail from Tylko. For those of you not familiar with Tylko - you're in a for a wonderful surprise. Tylko makes functional furniture that's customisable to the space you have down to the last centimetre. I also absolutely love that once your design is ready you can use the app to see how it'll look in your home (and then tweak some more if required!) and that they're made from slow-growth wood from Finland's birch forests making them incredibly long-lasting.  Oh and they're delivered right to your door and slot together without screws. Seriously, what's not to love? Here's a peek at mine...

Photography / Styling: Niki Brantmark - My Scandinavian Home.  

Finally a home for all our bits and bobs (and this is just the start - I'm pretty sure in two weeks time it will be crammed with things, and I'll be back on the Tylko website creating myself another unit!).  FYI I went for the 'sideboard' in white - but it's also available in a very smart black!

If you're also looking for a bookshelves, a sideboard, bench or wall storage you're in luck.... Tylko is offering all My Scandinavian Home readers 75 euros off a minimum order of 500 euros.  To claim your discount simply visit Tylko, design your own shelf story using the (very simple) tool and type in the promotional code myscandinavianhome at checkout.

The wonderful, relaxed boho home of Carley Summers

Do you follow interior stylist / photographer Carley Summers on Instagram? If not, you must! Carley posts snaps from her latest photoshoots and of her home which she shares with her husband Jonathan in North Carolina. The beautiful space is full of items they've collected over the years including pieces from all over the world and vintage finds. Layers of lush textures and warm tones add a wonderful, cosy feel and her relaxed, boho style shines through everything she turns her hand to. Let's take a peek inside their home....

Photography: Carley Summers: @carlaypage / Carleypageinteriors.com

I love this space!  The layered rugs, the blankets, the throws, the patterns and colours. Everything!

Get the look: source a similar Moroccan blanket here and a selection of Moroccan rugs, cushions and poufs here (you can also check out Anthropologie for lovely blankets and throws. Source a vintage rattan chair here (I loooove this mid-century one - only one available, hurry!).

Loking at Carley's home really makes me feel a trip to Morocco is in order  (how long have I been saying that?).  If I go I'd like to stay in this riad in Marrakech- recommended by Carley! Doesn't it look beautiful?!

Have you ever been?

Love this style? You'll also love this relaxed family home in Florida, a beautiful boho cottage to rent in Byron Bay, a unique farmhouse in Holland.

Have a lovely day!

Wallpaper that will put a smile on your face!

There's been a fun trend creeping into the world of interiors for a while now: patterned wallpaper. And Wallshoppe is looking to ensure everyone has a chance to get their hands on bright and fun designs which will put a smile on your face! Made in the USA and printed from 30% recyclable material with non-toxic ink, you can choose from whimsical and charming to edgy and sweet designs - or even mix and match your favourites. Since they come in a choice of paper rolls or removable panels - you can also decide whether to cover your walls for one night or over a lifetime.  Here's a peek at some of my favourites....

 Quick guide in order of appearance: Malibu wallpaper (blue on white), George the Octopus wallpaper, Pacifico Palm removable wallpaper (ivory), Malibu removable wallpaper (cadet blue), Goldfish wallpaper (indigo).

These all come in an array of colours, and there are a ton more designs too! Definitely worth hopping over and taking a look for yourself here.

Aren't they fun? All of the above (except George the Octopus) were designed by interior designer Nathan Turner exclusively for Wallshoppe - and inspired by California living - a little nautical and a little tropical! Love that!

I also love that many of the Wallshoppe papers are really easy to clean - making them perfect for children's rooms or family homes. You might even want to opt for the removable panels so you can take them down and exchange as they get older (it doesn't leave a mark!) - or if (like me) you love to shake things up a lot!

Are there any designs that you love in particular?

A serene Swedish home in shades of grey

Hej hej! Just home after a lovely midsummer - which included creating floral headcrowns, eating deliciously sweet strawberries, singing my way through schnapps visa (songs), a lovely stay at Okéns Bed & breakfast (the garden!), and even coffee at Strömma farmlodge! Oh, I do love midsummer! Today I'm back at my desk and have spent the best part of the morning drinking coffee, er I mean, scrolling through the net to find a beautiful home to share! Eventually this one caught my eye - simply because it's so unbelievably serene!  Swedish stylist Pella Hedeby has transformed a new build by JM in Solna, into a lovely, calm home in soft shades of grey while natural textures such as linen, cork and sheepskin add just the right amount of warmth. Enjoy!

Styling: Pella Hedeby. Photography: Kristofer Johnsson. For JM. 

My day feels calmer just looking at this space - imagine waking up here everyday?!

Get the look: sitting room - Söderhamn sofa with Bemz cover, Fly table, art by Nina Holst (Stylizimo blog). Dining - sheepskin throw. Children's room: Flisat stools by IKEA.  Desk - AJ table lamp. Bedroom - Source dark grey stonewashed bed linen here.

Wall colours in order: light beige, grey, and pink-brown.

You can also check out Pella's post for more info on where items are from here.

I've always been such a big fan of Pella's work, and featured her previous home here and latest home here - as well as her outhouse here. She definitely has a signature style! One talented lady indeed, don't you think?

Have a lovely day!
