Ray a drop of golden....orange juice

Nothing brightens up an apartment more than pops of bright colours against a white background. And if you don't have anything bright, here's a styling idea....orange juice! Genius!

Notice how I am starting to sneak in a few outdoor spaces into the posts too; if you're in the northern hemisphere and like me, the garden / balcony is becoming an important spring styling area so all inspiration is welcome (check out the use of rag rugs to add warmth to an outdoor space).

I spy: the ArchitectMade bird and Rosendahl monkey in the office. The fabric on the chair (these bold patterned armchairs seem to be popular at the moment, did you see the one in yesterday's post too?) is from Svenskt Tenn and Eames side chairs (15% off with code MYSCAN from Design Collectors). Find beautiful rag rugs here on Etsy.

Are there any quick and easy tips you can share for an outdoor space?

A black and white Stockholm apartment

Hello there! With the arrival of spring yesterday I had to show an apartment showing proof of the pools of sunlight we're finally enjoying! This black and white Stockholm apartment is for sale through Fantastic Frank and sits high up over Vasastan. The style is quite masculine and minimalist. My favourite space is the bedroom and the reading corner on the balcony (now that it's spring!). What about you?

I was lucky enough to spend the day in Copenhagen yesterday. I'd been planning a trip for ages as I'd never been to the Hay concept store and various other stores that have recently opened . Hay definitely didn't disappoint set over two levels and beautifully styled. Next time I'll take my Canon camera so I can share some pictures. 

I also nipped into Goerg Jensen to see the new flagship store display (which has become my first My Scandinavian Home instagram image! Yes, I've FINALLY joined instagram....haha sooo late to the party!) and my favourite design store Stilleben. One of my favourite parts of the day though was sitting outside for lunch with a glass of wine and a magazine in the sunshine- luxury!

An office in the nude

Who said Monday mornings back at work had to be painful?! I love the nude, black and white colour scheme paired with the slightly masculine styling of this office space by Norske Interiör Bloggers (NIB) for Studio Magazine, Norway. If I worked here I'd be one very happy Monday morning person indeed, what about you?!

Norske Interiör Bloggers with kind permission

The office was styled with pieces borrowed from fab Norwegian shops  VERKET INTERIØR, ZANZ, HVIIT and BOLINA. You can pick up a Vitra Panton Chair in white here (15% discount with the code MYSCAN). 

Any pieces you liked in particular? I think the oversized pencil sharpener is pretty cool!

I hope you all had a fab weekend. Happy Monday to you all, here's to an office full if nudes!

MSH in Hearst Home

Sadly I couldn't be at be at the Milan Salone del Mobile (or Milan Furniture Fair) but I was there in spirit as My Scandinavian Home blog is featured in the latest edition of beautiful Italian interiors magazine Hearst Home. My italian is not great non existant, but for those of you who can, here's the piece in case you fancy a light read.

A big thanks to Serena for scanning in the piece and sending it over, you're a sweetheart!

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!

A Swedish apartment in pretty white, blue and cognac

Hello Friday! Yay! Here's a colour scheme I haven't seen in a while; (sky?) blue, white and cognac. It's such a pretty combination it's enough to make me want to re-think the colours I've chosen for my own home! I also love the shabby chic double doors, a nice break away from the otherwise pristine white Swedish apartment.

What do you think of this colour combination? (And what would you call the blue which runs throughout?).

So. It's nearly the weekend WOOHOO! Any plans? Apart from spending time with my family, I'm really hoping to get my hands on a Hay mirror and do a little bit of hall styling. They're quite tricky to get hold of in Sweden as there's such a long waiting list. Wish me luck!

Before I head for the weekend here are a few links for the weekend:

Last night there was a repeat of The Scandinavian House on Grand Designs. Architect Kathrine designed and built the home around her love of 50's Scandinavian furniture. I was mesmerised! See pictures of the home here and a short film about the architecture here.

For those of you who plan to sleep all weekend....here's some bedroom inspiration: http://bungalow5.dk/opdateret-sovevaerelse/

And finally, the latest edition of Lonny Mag is out- curl up, enjoy that morning coffee and read it here.

Have a wonderful weekend all!

The incredible monochrome home of Therese Sennerholt

One of the wonderful things about editing an interior design blog is that I get to look at beautiful homes everyday in the name of work (at least that's what I tell my husband when he catches me on Pinterest again!).And every once in a while I come across a home which takes my breath away. This is one of the them. You may have seen it before but hey, you can't tire of a space like this! It's the home of Swedish art director /typographer Therese Sennerholt. I am a great fan of her work and own several of her prints. Her home really reflects her work in terms of colour (black and white) and style.

Beautiful! What are your thoughts?

Apartment with a mid-century touch

Hello! At the weekend I nipped into Nirvana in Malmö which is a second hand shop specialising in mid-century scandinavian furniture, it's only open one weekend a month and is crammed full of cool bits and pieces. Such a fab place! My 2 and 4 year old were with me this time so was a bit hard to focus (read - 'incredibly stressful'!) haha! But that doesn't mean I wasn't inspired, and I'm going to have to return soon (on.my.own) to see if I can pick up some cool pieces like the ones in this apartment.

Do you have any mid century pieces in your home? One of my favourite belongings is our mid-century drinks trolley which my mother-in-law gave us.

I hope you all have a lovely day!
