Small space inspiration - from the home of a Swedish stylist

This morning was complete chaos for about 30 minutes and then after a blur of hats, scarves, helmets, and bikes, everyone had gone and it was just me, my coffee and the beautiful voice of Ane Brun - *sigh*. It's no secret that 'Hemnet' (Sweden's housing market in one place - I know) is as popular as Instagram and Pinterest among my friends and interior bloggers alike. But today is a little extra special as this Gothenburg home belongs to one of Stadshem's own stylists Joanna Bagge who is selling her fab apartment. The 68 m/square space has been decorated using a monochrome scheme with an interesting mix of wood panelling, grey marble, and brass - sort of Swedish country, meets urban cool. Crucially, Joanna has been incredibly smart in the way she's divided the space - perfect inspiration for anyone living in a small space. Let's take a tour...















Homeowner / stylist: Joanna Bagge / Kvart Interior. Photography: Jonas Berg. Stadshem.

I do love window room dividers (other examples seen here and here), they are such a clever way to slip in light to what would otherwise be a windowless room. I'm often wondering where I can divide rooms in my own home! Do you ever do that after seeing these posts?!

Other items I love in this home: hanging clothes rail and round-shaped clothes hanger, Hay cloche table lamp, white bed linen, Moroccan tiles (these are similar) 

You can keep up to date with Joanna's styling projects here and also visit her (amazing) shop here.

FYI - great news for those of you with children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, friends with children...! Smallable are offering up to 30% off selected autumn / winter items until 9th November at midnight!

Have a lovely day!

The dreamy home of Sara Medina Lind

Happy lillördag (or 'little Saturday'), definitely calls for one of these this evening - nothing complicated! Fancy joining me?! I once showed the home of half Swedish half Canarian photographer Sara Medina Lind here. And excitingly, today I stumbled on a treasure trove of more stunning pictures (including the last four images styled by Pella Hedeby for IKEA). Safe to say Sara's home is an exercise in restraint - decorated in fresh whites (save for the new dark grey bedroom wall), she's allowed only the most beautiful of details to enter the four walls. The result is positively dreamy. Let's take a tour...
















All photography: Sara Medina Lind. Last four images styled by Pella Hedeby for IKEA and found here.

*sigh* - such a beautiful home - could you imagine living here?

A quick guide on where items are from: sofa (in Blekinge white), chaise lounges, RANARP wall lamp, black work lamp, these vintage artist paint brushes are similar as is this lovely vintage industrial style lamp. Dark grey linen bedding.

Try Farrow & Ball 'Railings' for a similar dark grey paint colour. 

I know I don't even need to ask but you can see more pics of Sara's home and her photography work if you'd like over on her blog or instagram. Oh yes!

Other links I'm loving today:

Imagine hanging out at this Norwegian 'hytte' for a week or two? 

How about these hues for a simply beautiful palette?

I've been looking for a set of champagne coupes (like the one shown in the link at the beginning of this post) for I don't know how long - it seems like this spot on Etsy is just the place (love this vintage set from the fifties).

Skål!

A serene white and grey Swedish apartment

An eye-watering start today with a train ride to the IKEA headquarters to view all their new products - always so exciting despite the red-eye train! They're doing great things at the mo (love the SINNERLIG collection and all the fab styling by Pella Hedeby including this DIY project I'm on it!). Since I'm back in Sweden I thought I'd also celebrate by showing a classic Swedish home tour with fresh white walls and light grey floors. The natural fibres such as rattan and wood add warmth to the look. Since the clocks have gone back and the light is starting to fade here in the North, light tones are helping to bounce around what little natural light we have - essential!

Lovely!

I love the fifties style kitchen counter top - the pattern is a design classic known as 'virrvarr' and was designed by a member of the Swedish family - Prince Sigvard Bernadotte. The 'boet' glass storage drawers are also an original from the same era - so fab!

I also spy: string shelves, vase with brass top, cluster light, children's brio oven and trolley. 

Farrow & Ball's  'strong white' is a great very pale grey hue for floors.

Other homes with a fresh white and light grey colour palette include this serene swedish space, a cool Stockholm apartment and this dreamy flat.

Have a lovely day!

A fabulous home in Fontainebleau, France

Hello! It's Monday. It's November. I'm feeling the autumn inspiration, how about you?! It's great to be back after a wonderful week in London (I really missed My Scandinavian Home - is that weird?!). Although I must say, it's hard leaving London too - especially as my sister's expecting a baby anytime soon, so exciting! Do you have family in far away places too? Anyway, on with the home tour - and I thought I'd kick off the week with this rather fabulous 'maison' in Fontainebleau, France. I'm loving everything about the way Royal Roulotte have designed this space complete with monochrome and cognac colour theme, mid century geometric patterns and furniture, and vintage and antique touches - this home has it all!  Let's take a peek...









 

Home designed by Royal Roulotte. Found via DustJacket with thanks.
 
Oh la la! Think I might just move in if I may. That kitchen?!
 
Could you live here? 
 
A quick guide on where to buy a few of the items: source mid-century furniture on Lauritz. Bert & May sells similar geometric tiles. Black fridge freezer by Smeg. Vitra RAR rocking chair (15% discount with code MYSCAN).
 
Other incredible French spaces include the home of French stylist (the black floor), the bohemian retreat of a fashion designer and a perfect Parisien home.
 
While in London I attended the Amara Interior Blog Awards and was incredibly honoured to be awarded 'highly commended' in the Best European Interiors Blog category! Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me, the judges, the category sponsor Missoni Home and of course luxury online homeware boutique Amara for a fab night!  I was so excited to meet so many talented bloggers, creatives and all round lovely people including Emily Quinton, Gudy Herder, and Natasha of CandyPop too.  Roll on IBA 2016!
 
I wasn't entirely off last week as I did do a little brainstorming - and I've got so many exciting plans for My Scandinavian Home this November - including a free gift for all of you (watch this space...), several gift guides (see how I avoided the C word there?! I'm not quite ready for it!) and fun give-aways. As well as lots and lots of fabulous Scandinavian inspired home tours of course. Eeee, can't wait!
 
Have a great start to the week!
