There's plenty to love about the summer - but one of my favourite things is the light. You simply don't get that wonderful golden light in Sweden any other time of the year - and it gives everything such a wonderful, warm feel.
This apartment in Stockholm has been captured at exactly the right time of day to capture it in all its glory. And I love the way the golden light hits the touches of colour: a red chair here, a yellow flower there to make it pop. Also, keep a look out for classic teak furniture, bold patterns (by the likes of Svenskt Tenn), the eclectic blend of furniture and playful details - as well of course, as the lovely balcony, which looks like a perfect spot for a Friday night drink or two! Skål!
This is the second time in the past two weeks that we've seen a home with red accents - could it be a growing trend in Sweden perhaps? Either way, it definitely adds energy to each room!
Is there anything in particular you love about this home?
Here are a few other warm and inviting homes to put you in the mood for the weekend:
In our house today it's a hive of activity since Hilton Carter (AKA the famous plant man from the USA!) is coming to visit and shoot something in our home for a forthcoming project. I've been a fan of Hilton's ever since I featured his former home which of course, was full of the most incredible plants! So the pressure is on, especially as Per and I only remember to water our plants when they're on the sad side!
And then, I am looking forward to a very relaxing weekend with my family. Phew!
I hope you have a lovely few days, thank you for dropping by - see you Monday!

Clever use of wall color and woodwork, feels like a far away country home not an apartment in a busy city. Yes, love the natural lighting, shelves, art...and the little deck.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true! Very cleverly done.
DeleteI'm intrigued by the dining table--trying to figure out if it folds out into a larger table if needed. It's so handy to be able to increase the size when you have guests.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the bright pops of color in this apartment!
Yes, it looks like one of those traditional extendable tables with hidden leaves. So handy!
DeleteSuch a lovely home! I am wowed by the simple elegance.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the description 'simple elegance' - nice!
