The stunning monochrome home of a Swedish stylist

Hello Friday! Woohooo! It's soooo hectic around here, with just so much to do! I'll relax once it's all done and dusted and I'm sitting with one of these in my hand (love the blueberries on a stick, so simple to do too)?! How's your Friday bearing up?! Thankfully I've got a beautiful, serene home to share with you today to help us all wind down. It belongs to Swedish interior stylist and writer Jenny Hultgren who lives just outside Höganäs, not far from my parents-in-law on the Southwest coast of Sweden. Her home is a mix of designer, vintage and antique pieces and almost entirely decorated in black and white (with wood, textiles and plants used to add warmth). Let's take a look...

Oh how I'd love a home like this - beautiful spacious light-filled rooms, a 'spare' sitting room on the top floor....loving those black bannisters against a white backdrop - so dramatic!

It's amazing how much softness (and romance!) sheer white draping can add to a bedroom, the fabric over the bed looks like it's been strung from the ceiling in various places - nice and simple bedroom update / weekend DIY project?

Is there anything that stands out to you?

A note on where a few items are from: Tolix chairs, 265 Flos wall lamp, Beni Ourain rug. Get beautiful sofa covers for IKEA sofa's like this from BEMZ (select Basiq cotton, urban loose fit), Signal zig-zag floor lamp in black, white linen bedding, love this antique round wall mirror.

It's so worth checking out Jenny's instagram gallery for more inspiration...

And a little more monochrome inspiration here: the striking home of a swedish photographer,  a black and white apartment in Malmö and for a little added colour - this charming home!

Have a fab Friday!

The lovely Copenhagen apartment of an architect

Hello! I have to admit I'm counting down the days to the weekend when I'm heading to London to visit friends and family - can't wait!  Are you up to anything fun? First though, there are fabulous Scandinavian homes to be explored, and today's comes in the form of a beautiful danish space.  Situated in Vesterbro, one of my favourite areas of Copenhagen, this lovely apartment belongs to architect Marie Rasmussen. The pared-back nature of the home combined with the simple colour scheme means every item of furniture and statement artwork pops out.  I'm loving the mix of antique, vintage and modern too.

What a great home! There are so many different 'zones' including somewhere calm to work, relax (that daybed and sitting room), eat and sleep. I absolutely love the artwork too.

A few items I recognise: Butterfly chair, 7 series chair, Anglepoise floor lamp, DLM sidetable, Kubus 8 candle holder.

Other beautiful homes captured by creative duo Tia and Mette include an idyllic Danish cottage,  a lovely student's home and a fab Copenhagen apartment with touches of mid-century. 

It was so interesting to read all your comments and discussions about how Christmas is celebrated in Australia a few days back. It sounds very different but great fun! I must try it at some point (I like the sound of going for a dip and tucking into seafood!). Your thoughts truly bring the posts alive - thank you!

Have a lovely day!
