A Zen Swedish space

Evening! I've just been on a lovely train ride through the skåne countryside  - the views were beautiful - one day I might try to capture some of the scenery out of the window and post it on IG. I even passed a sauna floating in the middle of a lake - accessed only by rowing boat! Anyway, I thought I'd nip in with an extra post this evening - a Swedish home tour courtesy of Hitta Hem. The space has been decorated in wood and greys throughout. The beauty is in the details - I love the oversized Bell lamp over the dining table and delicate plants. Let's take a peek.

Hitta Hem

This space has such a zen feel with the linens, rattan and calming greys don't you think?

The roughly painted headboard would make a great DIY project. Other simple yet fab DIY ideas include this hallway 'cloud' mat, a polka dot wall, and for a little luxury - how about a fab walk in wardrobe?! Yes please!

Items I know and love: Bell lamp in grey, pitcher by IKEA, this vintage chopping board is similar, japanese tea pot, Z1 pendant light, rattan chair, sheepskin rug, dark grey 'washed' linen bedding. Chunky knit blanket.

Also loving this grey and white bedroom.

Have a lovely evening!

Workspace inspiration: the Everlane studio

Good morning Monday! If like me you're back at your desk today you might be looking around and thinking - not this place again?! In which case I've just the inspiration for you. This is the Everlane studio in San Francisco. For those of you not familiar with Everlane - they sell absolutely fab basics and sell them without middlemen and stores - with the philosophy 'Know your factories. Know your costs. Always ask why' (love that). Needless to say, there studio is equally great - set in an industrial warehouse building with polished floors, shades of grey and warm wood, the look is simple, clean and fresh. Perfect inspiration for the start of the working week?!

Oh to work in a studio like this!

A tip on large plants for your space passed onto me by an interior designer recently....check out your local online secondhand stores to source large indoor plants. 

If you'd like to see a little more work space inspiration it's well worth checking out my 'studio' archive (don't miss the Danish carpenter's workshop and the creative studio of Katrin Bååth - firm favourites of mine!).....and loads more work space (including fab home offices, collectives and ateliers) here. You don't even have to feel bad spending time over it as it's all in the name of work, right?!

Even if there is nothing that can be changed about your workspace - I see from the Everlane website they're shipping international until 22nd November (usually they only ship to the US and Canada) - so there's a way to cheer ourselves up anyway!

By the way - this isn't a sponsored post - I just found their studio and shop so inspiring and had to share it! 

Have a wonderful start to the working week!
