Inside a Boho Loft Apartment in a Converted Stockholm Church
Monday, 14 July 2025
The William Morris wallpaper is such a gorgeous touch (that rich, timeless pattern always gets me), and the retro furniture and lighting bring everything together in a nice way. I also really liked how they’ve designed the children’s room – proof that a shared space for little ones can be both practical and personal, with a thoughtful mix of open shelving and hidden storage.
What do you think of this style? Anything in particular that caught your eye?

Inside a Beautiful Light Swedish Villa That’s Bathed in Natural Light
Monday, 30 June 2025
Do you ever find yourself slipping onto estate agent websites, dreaming over local villas that are wildly out of budget — but irresistible all the same? It’s a pastime I’m no stranger to. I confess, on more than one occasion, I’ve even turned up to viewings — Per in tow — looking completely bewildered!
This villa, to me, is one of those dreamy homes. Had it been closer, I’d have certainly signed up for the viewing!
Located in picturesque Gamla Enskede, Stockholm, the villa has everything I love in a home: a pretty façade, a beautiful, light and airy entrance (complete with a window seat — after all, a girl needs to be comfortable when taking off her shoes, right?), large open-plan rooms, each with a traditional tiled masonry fireplace, high ceilings, a dining nook drenched in light, and the perfect party kitchen! Be still, beating heart.
While it's simply decorated, the fresh white, grey and green tones create the perfect blank canvas to springboard into your own design palette, ready for your signature touch. Time to get those Pinterest moodboards going? Oh, what fun I could have with this one.
A Serene Swedish Home Filled with Warm Textures and Simple Pleasures
Wednesday, 25 June 2025
I loved all the individual pieces - from the larger rattan chair (I found one like that at a flea market last year) to the coffee table and bed frame - as well as the smaller objects, such as the art, mirror, and collection of shells.
The only modern touches I can spot are the lights (the pleated paper table lamp in the bedroom is actually from H&M Home - I know because I have the same one!). I also spy the Gatto table lamp from Flos and the Formakami pendant.
Did anything catch your eye in Terez’s home?
Here are a few other cosy homes to tour today:
Hannes' cosy Swedish apartment with a yellow kitchen
A cosy Swedish cottage with beams and a fireplace
A Swedish west coast retreat
It’s been a while since I last shared my sitting room - but I still have the Söderhamn sofa from IKEA! So I was really excited to interview the designer behind it for a feature I recently wrote for IKEA.com - you can read it here if you're interested.
Also, there’ll be an extra post tomorrow - yay! I’ll be sharing highlights from my recent press trip to Italy, where I was invited by the bathroom brand Catalano to explore the region’s beautiful ceramics. Do stop by for a read if you get the chance!
