This magnificent Malmö flat could be yours (or mine?!)

Oj oj oj (as they say in Sweden) are we in for a treat today. This fabulous turn-of-the-century home here in the centre of Malmö has just come on the market - and it's massively swoon-worthy! I'm not going to say another word - suffice to say, I'm seriously considering a move across town (I only need to convince the man now....hmmmm). Enjoy the tour...

Could you imagine living here?! If you're tempted there's more info and pics here (oh and a Malmö city guide here - I love Jeska's one here too .... just saying!).

Just in case a move isn't imminent (shame) - here's a quick guide to where a few of the items are from: this leather deck chair is similar, Flos 265 light, Diamond lounge chair, I like this dusty rose linen cushion, grey gotland sheepskins.

Fancy looking at a few more Malmö homes today? I love the relaxed, family home of Malin Persson (who I was lucky enough to meet recently at a blogger event - and feel so inspired by her Norway surf trip! - would you consider it?),  a beautiful home in dark hues and the lovely Helen Sturesson's striking, family home.

I'm proud of living in a city with so much talent!

Have a lovely day

Grey and Greige in a Magnificent Berlin Home

Why, hello there! How was your weekend? Kind of whizzed by, like mine?! Don't worry, this is going to be a great week for us all, I can feel it in ma' bones! I'm back home in London today enjoying a little snuggle time with my one year old niece (she's adorable - I might just have to pack her into my case and take her back with me!). I did manage to tear myself away for just enough time to create today's post though. I thought, being a hectic Monday and all, I should opt for a home tour with an element of calm, what do you reckon? This beautiful home belongs to interior stylist Selina Lauck, her boyfriend Olli, a cutler (AKA knife maker - yes, I had to look that up!) and four year old dog Gordin (look closely and you might just spot him!) in Berlin Mitte. Selina studied fashion design before realising that this wasn't her passion, and after a year in Oslo, returned to Berlin to work for Danish brand Hay. Her love for Nordic design shines through every corner of her home, which she describes as 'minimalist with a Scandinavian influence'. Enjoy!

Wow! What an incredible home - don't you think?! Selina's minimalist style and subtle colour scheme allows the magnificent structure and period features of the space to shine through - so perfect!

Here's a little guide to where things are from:

Bedroom: Mantis table lamp (I've got the same in my office!), House of Baltic sells similar linen bedding. Wall colour by Farrow & Ball.

Kitchen: lamp from Kai Linke, Alessi kettle (love this!) faceless portrait from faroe island artist Gurilla Artstudio, wall colour by Farrow & Ball.

Hallway: this round mirror is similar, print from The Poster Club.

Sitting room: Knoll diamond chair, Begonia Maculata print by Coco Lapine, Menu dining chairs. Hay sofa.

If you don't already follow Selina on Instagram, it's an absolute must (she's so good at tagging too - something I need to be better at!!). A little birdie tells me she's also launching an interior blog any time soon - stay tuned! Oh and, the word on the street is that the wonderful Jules from Herz Und Blut paid Selina a visit recently and snapped a beautiful home tour (check it out here!).

More beautiful Berlin homes here too!

Have a fab start to the week!

PS Tonight I'm heading to Regent Street to celebrate the launch of the new limited edition Nespresso Variations Confetto collection in collaboration with artists Craig and Karl (candy inspired coffee blends - fika galore! Yay! More on Instagram stories later!

PPS The voting for the Domino Design Blog Awards finishes tomorrow - I'd be soooo grateful if you can take a mo to stop in and cast a vote one last time here (My Scandinavian Home can be found in the category 'Best International Design Blogs'). Thank you so much!
