A serene white Malmö apartment

It was a while ago that I showed a completely white apartment. White floors, walls and ceilings maybe, but not everything bar a plant or a chair here and there. Even though I couldn't do the entirely white thing in my own home it doesn't stop me from admiring the beauty and serenity of an all white pallette in other homes such as this apartment here in Malmö. So simple, so beautiful!

What's your take on an all white home?

For a good few hours of interior inspiration, you can have a rummage through these past home tours of beautiful white homes. If you're not a white home person now, perhaps you will be after these!

PS I spy the Eames DAR chairs around the table and my favourite DCW chairs in the sitting room (15% off with code MYSCAN). A few choice IKEA items such as the sofa and side cabinet and the wonderful wishbone chair in the corner of the bedroom.  Any ideas where the fab kitchen light is from?

White, blue and a touch of brass in Gothenburg

Morning! I hope you had a lovely weekend? I need match sticks to keep my eyes open, I'm so tired after returning from my trip to London! To kick off the week I thought I'd share this Gothenburg apartment with it's white floors, and touches of blues and greens, topped off by the brass pendant lights in the kitchen. Very pretty. 

Alvhem

I especially love the room divider between the dining area and the sitting room. It's a clever solution for creating different areas without losing the flow of light. What about you?

Other pretty apartments with a touch of blue can be seen here and here.

Have a lovely Monday!

The home of a fashion designer

Morning! I do love a Friday don't you?! Here's the beautiful home of fashion designer David Andersen to complete the week. I hope I can add some cosy touches to my home for the Autumn like this.

Femina via here and here

What a fantastic home! Love the fireplace. What about you?

What are you up to this weekend, anything fun? I'm in London where I'll be wedding dress shopping with my sister, celebrating my little girl's 3rd birthday and going to a christening. I promise you my weekends are not usually packed with brilliant things like these. SO excited!!!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Fab interior styling and images by Fantastic Frank

 Today's inspiration comes from one of my favourite Swedish estate agents Fantastic Frank. The images and the way they style the homes for shoots is always a winner and looking through their website is like flipping through the latest copy of an interior magazine. Here's my selection:

There's quite an eclectic mix of spaces here, do you have a favourite?

Here are some other fab homes by Fantastic Frank, and while we're at it, what about my selection of homes from Stadshem (here) and Alvhem (here) recently?! It's a Swedish estate agent bonanza day!

I'm currently in London visiting friends and family (yay!). I'm hoping to have the time to pop into some of my favourite interior shops and tomorrow I've got an extremely exciting day planned.... wedding dress shopping with my wonderful sister who's getting married next summer. Can't wait! Champagne is in order no?!

Norwegian meets Danish in this very cool work space

Since it's the middle of the working week for many of us I thought a little office / work space inspiration could come in handy! If you're anything like me, the work environment is extremely important for inspiration, creativity and general well being (this is my home office space). This office space has been styled by Nina Hoist of Norwegian interior blog Stylizimo in collaboration with Danish brand Ferm Living. I could work here could you?! 

Nina Hoist, Stylizimo, with kind permission. 

I particularly love the mix of grey, white, light wood and brass how about you?

You can pick up some beautiful Ferm Living items as well as the wishbone chair here. Or pop over to Stylizimo for more info.

How would you describe your work space?

PS Can't help but notice a trend in black and white homes right now. What does this, this and this stunning home have in common?! The must-have lamp of the moment in the monochrome Scandinavian home: Jielde Signal ZigZag Floor Lamp (a nice little addition to this work space perhaps?!). I'm on it!

A white Skåne home with a fabulous woodburner

I love keeping an eye out on homes for sale here in Skåne. And just occasionally I come across a real gem (thanks Stil Inspiration for this tip!). It's no secret that I love white (don't we all?!) but I also dream of having a wood burning stove one day too. I love the stark contrast of this one against all the pale wood and white walls. I could live here, could you?!

Bo-laget via Stil Inspiration with thanks

I spy Eames DSR chairs (15% off with code MYSCAN), the Lightyears Caravaggio lamp in the kitchen and Gubi Semi Pendant lamp over the dining table. A few IKEA pieces too; the clock, urban chairs and foot stall in the kitchen. Great mix of designer and highstreet!

Meanwhile, I'm compiling a fireplace moodboard on Pinterest, and using these beautiful homes with fireplaces as inspiration. Sooooo cosy!

Have a lovely day!

A monochrome apartment with a touch of mid-century

A friend reflected last week that I really do love my monochrome apartments on here - hands in the air - she's right. So as a nod to my love of black and white here is a beautiful turn of the century Stockholm apartment owned by stylist Sophia and fashion photographer Nils and their children. The couple have carefully renovated the space to bring it up to date while respecting the original features. I love the touches of mid century furniture and industrial style lamps. What a stunning home!

I have a sneaking suspicion I've shown this apartment before. I definitely recognise it but couldn't find it in my archives. But you can't see this home to many times right?!!

For more black and white colour inspiration (after all I am the queen of monochrome!) check out these fab homes. Prefer a splash of colour? These?

PS I am always on the look out for new home tours to share here (a splash of colour perhaps?!).  If you have any tips I'd love to hear from you at myscandinavianhome@gmail.com.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
