An itsy bitsy Stockholm pad with bags of style!

Living spaces are diminishing in size as more of us choose to live in urban areas. With this, comes a flurry of new furniture specifically designed for smaller spaces. Swedish estate agent ESNY has recently released a series of teeny new 29 square metre (312 square foot) apartments. Styled to perfection, the spaces include slimmed down sinks, cabinets and side-tables and clever light filtering pieces such as mirrors and glass walls. Great inspiration for anyone looking to decorate an apartment with limited space (or moving to Stockholm for that matter!) Oh and I love the blue, grey, black and white palette - so beautiful, don't you think?

For sale through ESNY.

I wish I'd seen this bathroom before I designed our tiny downstairs one, could have used a few ideas! And that sofa is FAB, don't you think? (This one is similar - just saying!)!!

Is there anything you love in particular about this space? 

Get the look: sitting room - round mirror, brass Skultuna Lily candlestick holders (they're a real Swedish classic), pick up a beautiful Beni Ourain rug here. Bedroom - snoopy lamp. Dining area: Skultuna candlesticks, The Poster Club sells nice prints with architect drawaings.

If you're loving the blue you might just want to check out this page (scroll passed this place if it comes up first!).

Have a lovely day!

PS Wonderful if you can let me know if your experiencing anything odd with the new design - would love to hear from you if so!

Inspiration from a lovely Swedish home in white

Hello! I'm trying to write this post with one foot raised in the air, no easy feat I can tell you! You may remember a few weeks back I snapped my achilles tendon half off (ouch) and now I have to wear this boot for 8 weeks! I can only describe it as doing everything with one ski boot on - photo shoots, writing my book, errands, even sleeping (if ever there was an excuse for apres ski!)! And I've been told to keep it raised to reduce the swelling too - needless to say things are running a little slower than usual. But it has given me the excuse for lots of time lounging in my window nook (every cloud... as they say!). I noticed that when styling this lovely home in Gothenburg, Emma Fischer has also gone for the Söderhamn series - but opted for three in a row to make a luxuriously deep sofa.  What a great idea! In fact, I think I need something like this in my own home. The rest of the apartment is pretty nice too, don't you think?

I do love that sitting room! The white, all the plants.... even the TV looks good! Could you imagine lazing around there?

Get the look: sitting room: Söderhamn sofa series, Z1 pendant light (same as in my bedroom), Round chair, this round mirror is similar. hallway: Swedish Hasbeen sandals. Balcony: House of Rym sells beautiful cushions.

Have a lovely day!
