I hope you had a great weekend? It's all very well showing beautiful, spacious homes like this one and this one. But what about if you live in a teeny weeny one room / studio apartment (love that one)? Today's Swedish home is a fine example of how small can also be beautiful using a few clever space saving ideas.

5 take-away space-saving ideas from this home:
Raise the bed to create floor space (here they have used the extra space for a home office)
Use high shelving as storage (they have used shelving above the door in the hallway)
Save space with an extendable dining table
Source stack-able dining chairs which also look great like the Thonet 214 chairs (15% off with code MTSCAN).
Make the most of every square inch by adding cushions to a windowsill and using it as a place to sip coffee and flip through a magazine in the morning.
I spy Menu POV tea light holders on the wall. A VIPP bin. Thonet chairs (15% off with code MYSCAN) and the Hay coffee table (10% off with code SCANDI-HOME). Doggy 'Tillsammans' prints.
Some exciting news too - please welcome my new sponsor DaWanda who fab sell fashion, accessories, home and vintage items. I am all over this light, fine art print and paper cuckoo clock (Christmas pressie for my little girl's room?).
Have a lovely day!
Lovely home - so small ! I have the opposite problem here. The candle holders are MENU POV wall, I'm not sure either where I saw them for sale.

Thank you, wonderful! I've now updated the post. I'd love a set of tealight holders like these this winter :)

ReplyDeleteDo you know where I could get hold of the prints of the dogs wearing hats that they have in this home? Thanks!

ReplyDeletePs, I´ve changed blog name and address:)
What a lovely place and how smart these ideas to make the most of a little space.
ReplyDeleteNice!!
I often see those string lights on the photos you publish (also in this post: in the corner on the first picture). Do you happen to know where they are from? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice blog!!
I actually have a set of these myself too - they're super popular in Sweden. I bought mine from the Swedish shop http://www.granit.se/
DeleteThe only thing I would add would be a sort of rail on the bunk bed because the idea of rolling over from a bunk bed and falling to the floor while I sleep makes me nervous :) Other than that this is a great example of how you don't need massive space to make a home cozy and spacious
ReplyDeleteLovely, best use of the limited space! Wondering where I can find those area rugs?
ReplyDeletehow did you fix the POV menu candleholders to the wall?
