An arty Gothenburg home in rich tones and bold patterns

Hejsan allihopa! There's been a whole load of white going on here over the past few days so I thought it was time to indulge in something a little different. Think rich, deep tones in grey, green and dusty pink, luxurious textures and bold patterns. Art and photography dominates the walls and a blend of designer, one off vintage finds and reclaimed items set the tone for a beautiful relaxed home in the heart of Gothenburg, Sweden. Enjoy!













 Credits: this home was recently sold through Alvhem.

I love the boho, creative style of this space - it oozes warmth.

The dark green velvet curtain used to hide the wardrobe really adds to the beautiful rich textures in the bedroom, as do the pretty vintage kimonos.

We're seeing bold wallpaper more and more in the home (as seen in Johanna Bradford's lovely apartment, the world of Anna Kvarnström and a romantic Swedish home?), are you a fan?

And do you happen to know the name of the wallpaper in this sitting room? If so, wonderful if you can let me know in the comment section below and I can update the post for anyone who's wondering about it!

If you like the idea of wallpaper but prefer a lighter, more whimsical look - I love Blossom (as seen in this home).

And finally, a few items I know and love from this Gothenburg space: sitting roomround mirror, le lampe gras (wall lamp), Butterfly chair (love this!), Gotland grey sheepskin throw. Bedroom - linen valence.

Have a lovely day!

Putting Malmö on the map, Grafomap style

One of the best things about coming back from holiday is looking through all the post - and this time there were even a few packages! Just before I left I created a custom map poster over at Grafomap. Grafomap allows you to create your own beautifully designed poster of a special place  - whether its the area you grew up, where you went to university or an unforgettable trip - you simply type in the country, city or address and the map will appear. You can even customise it with colour!  I've been living in Malmö, Sweden's third largest city for over ten years and it's constantly evolving - I'm so proud to be a part of a city which gets better and better and wanted to add a little nod to it in my own home. When I returned, this wonderful map of Malmö was waiting for me on my doorstep! Which place would you choose?






Photography and styling: Niki Brantmark / My Scandinavian Home.

I hope you like it!

Oh and Grafomap ships worldwide too - perfect! You can get more inspiration over on Instagram here.

I'd love to see a picture of your map in your home - if you post it don't forget to use the hashtag #grafomap so we can find it!

Have a great weekend!

The perfect Christmas gift for travellers big and small

Do you like to travel? I love that feeling of excitement you get when you discover a new place - the sounds, the smells...the wonderful people.  Lately, my daughters have been keeping a record of the places we've been on a great interactive travel poster from Bold Tuesday. If you love to travel you'll love their maps too - which are designed to inspire people to see the world from a fresh perspective. The selection includes a Go! World sticker poster (peel off each country you've been to and put it in a journal) a Find it! World travel poster (a world search travelogue),  Colour! World travel poster (colour in the places you've been), and the List of Countries poster. The latter, which my daughters have, features 196 countries, from largest to smallest and includes the names of the capital cities underneath because 'knowledge is power'! It also comes with little red stickers so you can mark the places you've been. Love that! If you'd like to pick one up for yourself or as a Christmas pressie Bold Tuesday are offering an exclusive 15% discount on any poster (use the code 'myhome15' at checkout to redeem) until 12th December! Here's my daughter's List of Countries poster......

Travel combined with minimalistic design - what a perfect present?!

Note that the last day Bold Tuesday can guarantee worldwide delivery by Christmas is December 13th - good to know!

Have a lovely day!

The creative home of a Swedish artist

I'm not sure if you remember the lovely home of Stockholm based artist Åsa Stenerhag that I featured back in January 2015? Well, I was excited to discover more pictures (by photographer Jonas Ingerstedt) last night! Åsa's apartment has been decorated with earthy tones of beige, brown and deep red (kind of Autumnal don't you think?) combined with black and white and furnished with iconic pieces, fascinating treasures and of course, the most wonderful art. Åsa's art is infused with tactile surfaces and graphic expressions, and many pieces can be seen throughout the home. She also recently made news for her exhibition “Seeking Patterns”, a collaboration with Swedish fashion brand Filippa K (she was formerly part of the design team). It's no wonder her home is so creative!













Photography: Jonas Ingerstedt with kind permission / homeowner: Åsa Stenerhag

What a beautiful home?! So unique and personal.

The art steals the show of course, but I also spy one of my favourite lamps - the Mantis floorlamp.  Oh how I'd love one of these in my home one day!

To get a hint of Åsa's style in your home you can purchase her limited edition 'Roots' artwork here, and I'm loving this throw for the colours and texture...also seen here. Beautiful!

Is there anything that stands out to you?

A lil' mid week link love, just because....

Pretty rings for the minimalist.

One day I'd like to live here.

Soft centred chocolate cake. YUM.

One for tired parents - a 'smart' crib that rocks a baby to sleep (where was that when I needed it?!). And for when they're a little bigger - how cute is this little girl's outfit? And, and, and just how beautiful are these threads for kids?

New Instagram find -  Jannik Obenhoff (can't believe he's only 16 can you? - incredible!).

Beautiful Autumn.

Have a lovely day!

PS I'll be stopping by later to share a few of my recent backyard updates (Including a DIY plant box made from an old palette!). Hope you like it!

Decorating my home with posters and prints

Sponsored
As you may know from pictures of my sitting room, I'm a big fan of art. If chosen wisely, it can really add a lovely personal touch to the home (and brighten up every corner). A few weeks ago I was invited by Swedish company Desenio to choose a selection of posters online (I absolutely love my job sometimes!).  It was perfect timing as I'd been planning on jiggling things around in our open-plan living space for a while. And now the bubble chair (do you remember that piece?) has made way for a new reading corner and gallery wall. Oh and I took the chance to update my drinks trolley with a lovely forest print too. Here's a sneak peak....









My Scandinavian Home
What do you think?

You can find all the art prints seen in these pics of my homes here: Forest, Cotton plant, Hungry, Limited, Skeleton leaf, Lune. And buy the corresponding frames online too!

Desenio was founded in Stockholm by Martin and Helena Blomquist who share a great passion for design, home décor and art. These days they work with an inhouse design team as well as a selection of artists from around the world and ship to many countries.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I'll be back on Tuesday (once I'm back from our long midsummer weekend). May the sun be shining wherever you are!

PS Give me a shout in the comments section below if you'd like to know where any of the items are from.

The inspiring home and studio of Maaike Koster

I'm so excited to share the beautiful home and studio of Dutch graphic designer & interior designer Maaike Koster in Haarlem, The Netherlands today. Maaike has an inexhaustable passion for transforming ideas into inspiring concepts, beautiful designs and sophisticated spaces. And fortunately for us she frequently shares her family home, where she references much of her artwork (sold through 'My Deer Art shop') -on instagram (if you don't follow her, you definitely should!). Maaike's home is teeming with vintage pieces, the odd design classic, fabulous art and an abundance of greenery with an overall look which truly reflects her signature style - 'uncomplicated simplicity with a feminine touch'. Enjoy!













Photography / home owner Maaike Koster - My Deer Art Shop. Shared with kind permission.

What a charming home, don't you think?

Did you recognise it? I once featured Maaike's home here in 2013 - although I must say, it's gone through a pretty big transformation since then!

Get the look: All art from My Deer Art Shop. Sitting room - Eames lounge chair & ottoman, beni ourain rug, macrame plant holders and wall hanging. This antique apothocary chest is wonderful! Eames DCW chair. Children's room - source lovely vintage childrens desk and chair sets here. Studio - black work lamp, eames house bird.

See more beautiful Dutch homes here

And if you feel like getting a little creative after seeing Maaike's home, why not give one (or all) of these DIY projects a whirl:

Abstract modern art.

An easy leather strap shelf.

A wooden X shaped magazine holder.


The Icelandic Birch Cocktail- (this counts as DIY, right?). 

Have a lovely day!
