Guest post: a mid-century modern Swedish home

Hi, I'm Hanna of the blog Doyoufancythis.com and today I will be guest blogging for My Scandinavian Home. I must say it is such a delight to research and choose the right homes and features for you to see. Since my last guest post for Niki was on a more trendy, yet sophisticated home I thought I would show you something completely different.

This midcentury modern house, located in Ronneby, Blekinge, Sweden was built in 1965 and shares several ideas on how to make a modern sixties house feel quite classical. Take a special look at the serene shades of light grey, dusky blue, white with black details and a surprising pop of orange, the lighting and lamps (I spot several design classics) and the photo art. What do you think?

Beautifully simple Parisian apartment

Sometimes it's the simple things in life which are the most beautiful. This Parisian home photographed by  Mikkel Russel for Interior Magasinet Norway, is one of those spaces. It belongs to lawyer Caroline Delaudes who arrives home after a hectic day at work to a calm oasis decorated in muted colours and carefully selected vintage pieces against beautiful original wood flooring. Just add music!

Such a beautiful home don't you think?

The dining chairs are simply stunning. For furniture like this I usually turn to the auction site Lauritz.

This summer my sister is getting married in France and we're hoping to stay in Paris for a few days. I would love to find somewhere like this as our base, does anyone have any tips?

Merci!

Splashes of yellow with pretty pastels

There's no denying that Muuto is one of my favourite Nordic brands. They are always spot on with the latest trends, and I love the designs and colours. This selection of images were styled for Muuto by my neighbour's company All The Way To Paris (ATWTP) (you can see my neighbour Petra's beautiful former home here). I'd like a new house just so that I can buy the huge pink Muuto sofa (do you think my husband would agree to that?!).

For more pastel inspiration you could try my 'decorating with pastels label'....I love pale pink with yellow it's such a great way to update the home for spring don't you think?

For other homes with splashes of yellow (the colour de jour it seems) you might want to check out this and this home.

Would you dare go for a bold sofa?

Have a lovely day!
