A monochrome Swedish pad with a soft touch

Hi de hi campers! I have to say, I've been more than a little optimistic with my time lately - and with a flying trip to Salone del Mobile in Milan on the cards for tomorrow (very excited!), I'm not quite sure how I'm going to fit everything in! But the beauty of blogging about interiors is that it forces me to take 15 minutes out of the day to relax and feel inspired - I hope you feel the same way when you stop by! Today I wanted to share this Swedish space with you. The lovely apartment combines simple, minimalist style with a light, soft touch. Think monochrome, subtle florals and warm pools of sunlight. What a perfect place for a breather!

Styling By Bon. For sale through Bjurfors.

Oh so lovely, and so effortless too. Must be the magic touch of By Bon!

Get the look: söderhamn sofa from IKEA, source a similar floral print here, Lilla Åland chairs, this vase is similar.  Please feel free to add to this in the comment section below!

I'd love to linger but sadly I've got to dash off today - but if you'd like to hang around for a while why not take pour yourself a coffee, sit back and feel inspired by these beautiful Finnish, Danish and Norwegian homes.

Have a lovely day!

PS There's a fab give-away here right now!

Singing the bedroom blues

Heeejsan! It's way past mid-morning but I can't seem to shake that tired feeling (despite the copious amounts of double strength coffee of course). It has a lot to do with an early morning breakfast meeting with my wonderful mentoree Ebba (have you ever done any mentoring? It's surprisingly energising, not to mention rewarding - I can highly recommend it!). But, being the terrible morning person that I am, all I want to do now is crawl back under the covers - how nice would that be?! I've got lots to do though so instead I'll *dream* of a quiet doze in this Swedish bedroom. I mean, just how beautiful are the walls? The grey-blue tone is both cocoon-like and calm in equal measure and looks so striking against the white ceiling, window frames and doors. Add to that the wooden furniture and soft linen bedding and the entire space is an oasis of comfort and calm! Of course, there's also a roaring fire waiting just around the corner to keep you toasty over breakfast - perfect!

For sale through 55Kvadrat. 

Could you imagine a duvet day here?

Get the look:
It's very difficult to recommend a paint colour (although if anyone can let us know this exact paint colour we'd all be happy bunnies?!). My best advice is to nip down to a paint shop and pick up several different tones which match this and try them out on the different walls in the room. The colour can vary dramatically depending on the orientation of the room and time of day.

Bedroom - notPERFECTLINEN sells beautiful bed linen like this (ships wordwide) Hallway: Muuto dots. Sitting room -  Bertoia chair, Tuuli Burman creates beautiful Finnish birch baskets.

Have a lovely day!
