A fun children's space in the Netherlands

Morning! I hope you had a great weekend? I got back from Berlin yesterday, I've never been before, have you? It's such a cool city! It's good to be home and see my guy and little girls too though. Today I'd like to share this very cute children's bedroom with you from the home of Femke Dekker of interiors shop Femkeido in the Netherlands. I love the grey, white and pops of colour. And that rustic bunk bed which looks like it's been lifted straight out of a Scandinavian summer cottage!

I spy Orla Kiely wallpaper, a Lucky Boy Sunday cushion and pretty pom poms. If you'd like to see the rest of the home syou can tkae a peek here.

On the subject of little ones, I am excited to announce a shiny new sponsor in the My Scandinavian Home team! Smallable is an award winning fashion and design concept store for 0-16 year olds selling incredibly cool clothes and furniture for children. I love the back to school section and will be getting my girls one of the backpacks or satchels. Don't miss the very cool children's/teenagers desks, desk lamps and chairs section too, and there's all those clothes of course...... For the latest updates you can sign up for their newsletter here. I'm on it!

Have a lovely day!

A relaxed monochrome apartment in Malmö

It's the weekend! Yaaaaay! To celebrate I've chosen an apartment close to home. This space feels so familiar as many of my friends have lived in similar pads in Malmö. There's something beautiful about the high ceilings, original wood flooring and double doors thrown open between each room. I also love the relaxed style and monochrome theme....if you're thinking of moving to Malmö it's for sale here!

Do you go for black and white or do you prefer flashes of colour? Or perhaps pastels?

Some of my favourite black and white homes to date are this one in Helsinki, this beautiful Copenhagen apartment and this cosy Malmö home. Perfect monochrome inspiration!

Are you up to anything cool this weekend? I'm in Berlin today (such a fantastic city, I've never been before!) and heading home to see my little family in Sweden shortly -can't wait!  Hopefully I'll arrive before my 5 year old loses her first tooth. Hurry!

Have a fantastic weekend and see you Monday!

My home captured by Karin: dressing room

As promised, today I'm introducing the first in a mini weekly series called 'my home captured by Karin'. While we were away recently my photographer friend Karin Björklund (who also took my profile picture) spent the day in our home and took lots of lovely pictures. It's fascinating to see how someone else sees your home. I call this room 'my dressing room' since this is where I have my dressing table, keep all my clothes and like to swan about, wafting perfume, reading magazines and generally acting like the movie star I am not! But the rest of my family call it the guest room or TV room....:)

Karin Björklund for My Scandinavian Home

As a guest room it looks like this (it used to be our bedroom). One day the floor will be white.....

Eeek, what do you think? Do you have a versatile room like this in your home?

Here's a bit of a guide on where things are from: wallpaper - Designers Guild, Around Coffee Table - Muuto,  Finnish hemp textile cushion - Saaana ja Olli, mirror - Graham & Green, perfume and apothecary bottles - vintage, tribal gold necklace -Whistles.

For more sitting room inspiration check out these lovely rooms and for dressing room inspiration you could try my Pinterest board here. 

PS Merci Beaucoup to Clémence who listed my scandinavian home in your top 5 interior design blogs on Tuesday in Paulette Magazine, such an honour!
