A serene Swedish home with Autumn accents

Hello there! The sun's shining, the weather is fine... although I have to confess I'm feeling a little bleary eyed after a wonderful weekend at Maison & Objet in Paris (look out for my post later today with some of my highlights from the fair!). Did you have a good weekend too? I thought I'd ease us into the week gently with this lovely space in Gothenburg. The soft textiles, the natural materials, the subtle Autumn accents, just about everything in this space evokes a feeling of calm....

.....And relax!

These stonewashed linen sofas are simply beautiful. Could you imagine having one in your home?

Items I know and love (and there's quite a few in this home!): sitting room - koushi lamp, pick up a vintage beni ourain rug here, sea grass belly basket, lampe gras floor lamp, Belleville sofa, velvet cushion / pillow, this and this vintage rattan rocking chair are similar (if sold try here!). Bedroom - rustic stool (this three legged one is stunning - but it's a one off, so you'd need to hurry!), stonewashed linen bedding.

See more pics of this lovely apartment here.

Have a great start to the week!

PS I kind of promised myself if the weather's good today I'd go for a jog (hey, it was kind of a safe bet, it was pouring with rain - all day yesterday)...I'd better go and get my kit on *drags feet*.

The home of a Swedish fashionista

Things are a little frantic as I'm off to Paris first thing tomorrow for Maison & Objet - wahaaaay! So exciting! I must get packing. Which is perhaps why I felt drawn to the home of Karoline de la Concha today. With over 16 years experience in the fashion industry, Karoline runs a unique and fabulous store with a focus on private shopping, housed within her turn-of-the-century home in Råå, Skåne. Oh how I could do with a creative consultant like Karoline today! Of course, the rest of the home is rather fabulous too. Here are some snapshots....

How lovely would it be to shop here? No queues, no grappling about in the changing room - just cool, calm and collected shopping in beautiful surroundings. What a great concept?!

Since I'm leaving early tomorrow morning the next time I'll be posting is after the weekend, but in the meantime I thought you might enjoy these home tours - all completely different, and all fabulous in their own way: 

A happy, eclectic and bohemian world.

Krickelin's beautiful home in Elle Decoration (which I once also showed here).

Theo and Soula's creative studio and home.

And for something back to nature and unwind:

This shot is kind of beautiful and at the same time gives me chills....you?

I love this video!

Have a wonderful weekend, I look forward to reporting back on all the latest interior trends next week.

PS Are you heading to Maison & Objet too?
