A beautiful boho cottage (to rent!) in Byron Bay

Stop the press! I was planning on posting a completely different home tour today. And then this space happened. Everything had to be re-written (even though I've got a flight to catch!). Photographer and stylist extraordinaire Louise Roche recently captured Haveli cottage for Airbnb owner, Heidi (yes, it is available to rent...!). Described as an 'Indonesian & Indian inspired luxe cottage', the boho property is located in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia and is decorated throughout using items from Heidi's iconic shop. As if we needed another excuse to travel Down Under?!

Photographer and stylist: Louise Roche / The Design Villa

Could you imagine spending your holiday here?

Louise also used the cottage as the most beautiful backdrop ever for three of her clients: The Boho Bungalow, Rock Ribbins Eco Gifts and Shima Lifestyle (some of the items of which can also be seen in these pics). She is organising a new collaboration shoot from Port Douglas soon, if you're selling homeware, fashion or jewellery and would like to participate pop her a mail here.

Similar items (I love): jute rug, Indonesian straw bag, Batik cushions.

Other absolutely stunning homes in Australia (in case you missed them) include a light and airy cottage,  the retro beach house and a pared-back home in neutrals. And of course, if you don't already - I highly recommend following Australian design blogs Dust Jacket and The Design Files (please feel free to add your blog tips in the comment section below!).

Right. I'd better get packing for my trip to London this afternoon. Go, go go!

Have a lovely day!

The happy and eclectic home of Ingrid Jansen

Hello Monday! This is the best Monday morning I've had in weeks. I'm on the train heading over The Bridge to Copenhagen for a day of shopping. Eeeee! But first. Today's post. Since I'm feeling super happy and relaxed I've decided to go for something similarly chilled. You might recognise the lovely 'handmade home' of Ingrid Jansen of Wood & Wool Stool from this post. And now my talented friend Holly Marder has paid a visit and captured her Dutch home from a whole new angle. Think bright colours, beautiful vintage Boucherouite rugs, and flea market finds. What a perfect home tour to kick off the week?

Holly Marder

Absolutely loving those bright pops of colour against the white - how about you?

Get the look: bright coloured Boucherouite rug (also love the rugs and cushions sold here), Ingrid sells the pattern to make your own fab pineapple cushion or throw here. This sun burst mirror is similar. Subscribe to Milk Decoration here.

You can see more fab pictures of this home on Holly's blog or over at Decor8. Enjoy!

In case you missed them, you might want to check out these homes with lovely, bright splashes of colour: a relaxed home in Florida, a Swedish home with a relaxed vibe and a happy studio in L.A.  

Is this your kind of style?

Oh, and excited to have finally got started on a sitting room make-over in my own home. Here's the latest. 

Have a great start to the week!

Welcome to the eclectic world of Bea Mombaers

Still no plans for Easter?  The pretty seaside cottage I showed earlier on in the week not your thing? Too late in the season for ski glamping?! Well, I might have just the thing. Designed by owner and interior designer Bea Mombaers,  this industrial style Bea B&B in Belgium is positively teeming with every piece a design lover could ask for. And complete with roaring log fire, uber comfy social areas and rumours of a pool you can check in anytime you like, but you might not want to ever leave (see what I did there?!). Oh and did I mention Bea also has an online shop selling similar items to the ones you see. This could get very dangerous indeed!

Anyone know the fastest way to Belgium? 

Get the look at home: Brown leather pouf, filament light, white sheepskin throw, vintage moroccan rug, butterfly chair (love this!). Check out Bea's shop for other items. 

Find out more about how you can book a room (and check out more pics) at this fabulous B&B here. See you there?!

Here's my Friday link love: 

Bea's (cool) guide to Belgium.

This Stockholm home is a dream. 

I'll be enjoying this pull apart apple bread with my weekend fika.

I've just discovered why I find early starts so tough.

Ther perfect gallery wall?

PS I think it's time for another give-away don't you? Pop in this weekend to see what I have in store for you. Hint, you can see a similar item in this and this home....

Monochrome heaven in a small Swedish apartment

Hello there! How're you holding up? It's been a week of early starts for me, and as you know, I'm definitely not a morning person - so I'm clinging onto the thought that tomorrow's Friday - woop! They say though, that the early bird catches the morning worm - and on my train earlier today I caught sight of not exactly a worm - but this delightful monochrome home in Gothenburg, Sweden. The space is a mere 35 square metres (375 square foot) and yet it has a light and airy feel thanks to the predominantly white colour scheme and unobscured windows (look closely and you can see the tightly rolled blackout blinds). I'm guessing the wardrobe is by the door, sectioned off with a linen curtain. What a perfect pad?!

55Kvadrat

I really love this space. It's like a breath of fresh air.

Could you live here? (If so you're actually in luck since it's currently for sale here, yup!).

Get the look: Granit string lights (for those of you in the US, these lights are similar (love!). Koushi pendant light, grey linen throw, white linen bedding, set of two linen pillow cases (beautiful) RANARP desk light, Tolix stool, this coffee table is similar, icelandic sheepskin throw, OMAR wire kitchen shelving unit. Buy natural stonewashed linen by the yard for curtains.

In case you missed them, other beeeeautiful monochrome spaces include a fab apartment with a mid-century touch, a black and white Helsinki family home and a calm small space Swedish apartment.

Have a lovely day!
