A Danish sitting room transforms from summer to autumn

Although I'd love the summer to last forever, it seems the leaves are slowly turning here in Sweden and snug winter woolies are just around the corner. One of my friends in Copenhagen, Tina Fussell, photographer, writer and stylist extraordinaire, has completely embraced the new season by updating her sitting room with accessories, flowers and cushions. The dark colours create a cocoon-like feel, perfect for cosying under a blanket and wiling away a chilly scandinavian winter. These lovely pics show the gradual tranformation....

Will you make any changes in your home this season?

A few tips on where items are from: Tom Ford book, silver coffee pot, Grey cabinet, Voluspa candle, desk light, Kartell Papyrus chair.

I couldn't resist throwing in the last pic - I think Monday's are made for long breakfasts, don't you?! Start the week as you mean to go on!

You can see a complete tour of Tina and her family's lovely Danish home here.


Other homes with rich dark grey walls include this fabulous Australian holiday home, a wonderful French home and this luxurious Swedish bedroom. 

Have a lovely day!

PS only a couple of days left to vote in the Amara interior blog awards (sponsored by luxury gifts & designer homeware store Amara). I'm so excited to be one of the nominees - my voting page is here, if you'd like to send a little love my way. 

PPS Swedish friends - I am volunteering with the red cross this month - if you are please interested take a look at this video (in Swedish).

A monochrome home in Helsinki, Finland

Oh Friday how I've been waiting for you! Are you up to anything fun this weekend? I wish I could say I was doing something super exciting like heading to Finland - but actually I'll just be chilling with my family here in South Sweden. But that doesn't mean we can't visit Finland in spirit, right? This is the home of Elisa (aka Minä ja Morris), a media producer, her man and daughter Stella in the heart of Helsinki.  Elisa describes her style as 'a little bit of a mix of everything' and likes to combine Scandinavian minimalism with a touch of bohemian. Her favourite things about her home are the lovely light, space, location in the heart of town and the sauna (of course!). Let's take a tour....

What a cute bubba! May I just squish those gorgeous cheeks?!

Moving on to the home itself...have to say, I love that back wall and kitchen in matt black - it's so striking! Oh and that crate with wheels would make a perfect weekend DIY project, don't you think?

Some items I know and love: kitchen / dining - Eames wire chair, Artek golden bell lights, Marimekko Oiva tea cup, traditional espresso maker. Sitting room: Hay dot cushion in rose. Bedroom: Hay mega knit throw.

Is there anything you love in particular about this home?

Sending big love to Elisa for sending me these pics and letting us take a tour of her lovely Helsinki home (you can see more images over on instagram). Do you have any photos of your home or studio you would like to share? If so, drop me a mail!

Have a great weekend and see you Monday!

PS If I were to head to Finland I could imagine myself in this beautiful rustic cabin by the sea. What do you reckon - a good place to wile away a weekend? More Finnish homes here - scroll passed the first one.
