Hejsan hoppsan! I hope you had a great weekend! Did you get up to anything fun? Per was away and the girls and I headed out to the forest for some mushroom picking - we weren't very successful I have to say, but it was lovely having a picnic amidst the pines! Trees aide, I've been thinking about how it's been a while since I showed a fresh white and light grey home. It makes me realise just how much the trends have changed lately with so much colour and golden tones creeping in. So, how about we kick off the week with this serene, light and airy apartment in Gothenburg? For those of you who messaged me with words of glee over Friday's post (10 clever small space tricks to learn from a lovely swedish apartment), you'll be pleased to hear this space is also only wee - measuring a mere 42 m2 (452 f2)! Think fresh white floors, pale grey walls, a spattering of iconic design pieces, clever storage and one very beautiful masonry oven! Enjoy the tour!
Love the tall plant, it adds so much to the room, don't you think? Does anyone know what species it is? The white ceramic shell pot* (just peeking into the corner of this picture) is a new item from Ferm Living.
At first glance, I wondered why the wall opposite the kitchen cabinets haven't been made into cabinets - but on further inspection I realised that there's a bed in the recess on the other side of the wall!
I spotted lights like the small pendant in this picture over at deVOL last week. It's so pretty! I've been wondering where to put one in my own home ever since! Could you imagine having a little light like this in your home too?
The Line print, white and wood storage from IKEA (I think)
When you're short on space you need to make use of every inch. I love the way a recess above the door has been used as hallway storage.
I have to say, no matter what trends come and go, I'll always have a penchant for homes with a white and soft grey palette. Are you a fan too, or do you need a little more colour?
Have a wonderful start to the week friends!
Niki
PS I'm not usually into numbers but I was excited to reach 250,000 followers on Instagram today - that's a quarter of a million! Kind of crazy! Thank you so much to everyone who follows along and makes my day that bit brighter with your comments!

I love the use of space, opening into the kitchen/hallway.
ReplyDeleteI love that too! I always think small spaces is what swedes do best :)
DeleteThe tall plant is Rhus typhina or staghorn sumac. I guess the variety "Dissecta" most likely, based on leaf shape. It's mainly grown as an outdoor plant since it grows so large and needs a cold rest period- first time I've seen it indoors.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thank you so much. Interesting that it's usually outdoors. It's very beautiful, I must say! I'll ask about it at my local garden centre here in Sweden.
