A finnish home with nature at the heart

I love it when a plan comes together. The pictures of this beautiful Finnish house are a culmination of cabin manufacturers Kannustalo, stylist extraordinaire Susanna Vento and photographer Riika Kantinkoski. Every aspect of the build and styling is centred around putting nature at the heart of the home; whether through the vast windows which offer spectacular views over the lake, or the abundance of wood and other natural materials inside. The result is an incredibly calm, open space in which to unwind. What a beauty?!

Photography: Riika Kantinkoski. Styling Susanna Vento. Styling assistant Pinja Forsman. 

Oh so fabulous.

Could you imagine unwinding here?!

A few items I know and love: sitting room - MANTIS floor lamp, cabinet from IKEA. Bedroom - le Lampe Gras wall light. Pick up white stonewashed bed linen here.

See Riika's own home here. Riika and Susanna also teamed up to produce this lovely book.  

Seeing these beautiful Finnish spaces has got me even more excited about my pending trip to Habitare this September! Think I might just have to stay a few extra days to enjoy Helsinki too! Will you be there?

Have a lovely day!

A beautiful Malmö home

This elegant home is nestled in the Rösjöstaden (I dare you to try and pronounce that word!) district, here in Malmö, made up of beautiful apartment buildings dating back to the late 19th century. Communal sweeping staircases lead to apartments characterised by spacious rooms, high ceilings and large windows which capitalise on the light. The owners of this lovely apartment have added deep grey and blue accents as well as touches of magenta, emerald and red to create a truly personal oasis. And now it's on the market!

For sale through Bolaget. 

What a beautiful home? It looks so unbelievably calm, don't you think?!

Fancy a move to Malmö anyone?! It's a great city!

A few items I know and love: Safari daybed, Sinnerlig pendant, Bistro chairs.  

You can see more of this lovely home over at Bolaget (just saying!).

Have a lovely day!

PS Happy national day to all in Sweden! I have two little girls beside me waiting to head off and enjoy it - better head off on that cycle ride I've promised (followed by a fika of course!).
