A lovely clutter-free, light and airy Swedish pad

Keeping it simple in Sweden today with this light and airy space in Majorna, Gothenburg. Decorated throughout with very light wood floors, the palest grey walls and a lovely mix of old and new, this lovely clutter-free one bedroom apartment is like a mid-week breath of fresh air! Oh and did I mention it's for sale?!

Kvarteret Mäkleri

....And breathe!

Just lovely! Makes me want to go through my wardrobes and have a de-clutter! How about you?

I know I'm likely to get the question - where are the rugs?! Firstly this apartment has been staged for sale so I'm guessing the guys at Kvarteret Mäkleri would like to show-off those beautiful floors (and who can blame them?!). And secondly, Swedish apartments are incredibly well insulated so the wood floor will be draft-free and lovely and soft and warm. Having said that, I'm sure the (lucky) new owner will add a few fab rugs - how lovely was the one in yesterday's post? Feel free to wade in in the comment section below!

Get the look: O coffee table, Patterned and Jacquard Weave cushion in white, Marshall speakers, this bed frame and clothes rail are similar.

Ever wondered how the latest interior trends started?

I was so happy to see My Scandinavian Home was included in Swedish magazine Hus o Hem's list of 9 interior blogs to follow. Thank you!

Cute spring style (sneakers), And moodboard.

Wood's sneaking it's way into the home more and more. As seen in this lovely Australian home.

How quickly would you pulse come down in this pool?!

And for the little ones, how cute are these limited edition paddle people?

Have a lovely day!

An elegant, understated modern farmhouse

I was awoken by the eery sound of a ships fog horn cutting through the dense fog over the Öresund strait. It definitely made a change from the harsh trill of my mobile alarm clock, but being a sailor, the sound always makes me fill a little uneasy! The fog's lifted now and so have my spirits - mainly due to stumbling across this beautiful space designed by Griffiths Design Studio. Situated on the Mornington Peninsula, Southeast of Melbourne, Main Ridge Farmhouse is a lesson in elegant, understated style. The rich texture from the French oak floor, wood clad wall and sheepskins add warmth to create a relaxed modern home which reflects it's rural surroundings. Let's take a peek....

What a lovely, elegant space!  I especially like the wooden side-table - it has such character!

Is there anything that stands out to you about this farmhouse?

Items I know and love: sitting room - grasshopper floor lamp, rug by Halcyon Lake, muuto dots and vase, this cognac leather cushion is similar. Kate Moss Book, wishbone chair, sheepskin throw. Bedroom: Eames house bird, this grey linen throw is similar. By lassen frame box.

Have a lovely day!

A Danish home with a lovely relaxed vibe

Hello! I hope you had a great weekend and feel all ready for the week ahead (although, does anyone else find that Tuesday feels like the real start of the week i.e. when you're actually ready to get anything done?!). Today I'd rather take it easy and muse over this beautiful Danish space. Located in Denmark and captured by Birgitta Wolfgang Drejer, I love the way the space is fairly minimalist and pared-back and yet lovely and relaxed. It helps that the apartment has beautiful high ceilings, herringbone floors and large rooms too!  Let's take a tour....

I especially loved the children's room (I like how it looks 'loved and lived in' in these pictures, so refreshing?!). Did you notice that little collection of hats too?! This room's going straight to my children's inspiration Pinterest board! 

Is there anything that stood out to you?

Get the look: Eames chairs, vintage demijohns in lovely blues and greens, pom poms, sheepskin throw, vintage school chair, Loom + Field sells Moroccan wedding blankets (seen on bed) as well as other beautiful things.

I'm still reeling just a little from Friday's post. And I was soooo happy that Cathy Pyle could tell us a little more about the owner / interior designer on Instagram over the weekend. It makes me realise what a great online network we all have!

Have a lovely day!
