Art photography in a Malmö home

Morning and happy 'lilla lördag' (Little Saturday as it's called in Sweden)! Bringing the blog home today with a tour of a beautiful apartment currently for sale in Malmö. Sometimes simple works best, as the pared-down look of this monochrome space shows. The owners have carefully selected a few Scandinavian designer pieces such as the wishbone chair, cross blanket and bumling light and spiced it up with some very cool art photography.

What do you think? Too sparse or just right?

I also spy what looks like a pair of the Vitra Occasional table's in the sitting room as well as an Eames DAR (15% off with code MYSCAN). Oh and while on the subject of designer furniture, Design Collectors are currently offering a free Ottoman when you purchase a Lounge Chair. On the case!

PS I came across a really exciting website yesterday that allows you to create your own typography poster! Quite cool don't you think? What motto would you go for? I think I'd got something like: 'She believed she could. So she did'.

The Danish home on a hill

This Danish home is just to cool for school. White floors and walls? Tick! Original period features? Tick! A perfect mix of modern contemporary and antique, cool art and a touch of blue.... tick tick tick! It's the home of Anne Dorte Michelsen, a successful Danish singer and songwriter, her actor husband, and their teenage children. As a child Anne built homes out of lego and dreamt of becoming an architect. These days she still demonstrates her love of all things interior having renovated this beautiful 1918 home on a hill outside Copenhagen.

Black, white and cosy in Stockholm

Morning! I hope you had a great weekend? We had such an amazing time in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast at my friend's wedding (have you ever been, it's so beautiful there?!). Back to rain here in Malmö with a bump and there's a distinct feel of Autumn in the air. This fab black, white and grey apartment is part of a new project by JM in Stockholm. The soft sheepskin furs and rugs create a perfect haven for cosy Autumn days as the light fades and the leaves turn to yellow. Perhaps it's not all bad to come back to the rain after all!

What do you reckon? Your kind of space?

If you love the cross blanket as much as I do (and I shouldn't be telling you this as I'm hoping to win it myself....) there's a fab little competition to win one here!

For more 'cosy' inspiration check out this post..... I need to go and dig out my ultra soft, ultra woolly slippers!

PS My wonderful sponsor Smallable is celebrating it's 5th birthday this week with chances to win fab prizes everday,  you can also make the most of discounts and other surprises - don't miss out here! I have my eye on the Oeuf prize!

A white Gothenburg apartment

What would a week be here on My Scandinavian Home without a home tour from one of my favourite Swedish estate agents?! This home in Gothenburg is a vision in all white softened by the exposed brick wall, black furniture and touches of geometric fabrics. Beautifully styled and photographed by Stadshem.

I think my idea to steal here are the industrial bare lightbulbs in the kitchen hung at different heights. What about you?

PS I spy the very cool Thonet chairs (15% off with discount MYSCAN :) again in the kitchen- they're everywhere this year (the Eames of 2013?). I also spy what looks like the Muuto stacked shelving system in the hallway. 

I'm heading off to a great friend of mine's wedding this weekend, so exciting! I hope I'll get the chance to blog tomorrow but in case I don't, have a fantastic weekend!
