A Stockholm space with pretty colours

Hello! Happy 1st December (my favourite month of the year!). Although I love Christmas, I'll try to mix things up, with a few home tour posts here and some festive Scandinavian inspiration there, how does that sound? For today's home tour we're off to Sweden's capital city of Stockholm (yay!).  The apartment has been beautifully styled by the guys at Fantastic Frank. Look out for the cognac / brown leather chair coupled with a cupboard upcycled with Superfront doors in green. And also the mix of red, orange, peach and pink in the bedroom. Loving the artful vignettes too. Let's take a peek...

Fantastic Frank

Lovely!

Get the look: this black floor lamp is fabulous, Beni Ourain rug, Superfront doors, House Doctor ceiling light and table lamp , String shelves, SINNERLIG table. Source fab prints here.

Also loving this cottage in the Stockholm archipelago, a fresh white apartment and a relaxed, boho cabin on an island outside Stockholm.

If 1st December has got you in the festive mood, don't forget to pop back later for some Christmassy inspiration for your home! In the meantime here are my latest pins!

Have a lovely day!

A lovely Norwegian home decorated for Christmas

When do you start bringing a touch of Christmas into your home? When I grew up in England we'd wait until a few days before Christmas. Here in Sweden however, the first of advent is a big day and it's not unusual to catch a glimmer of stars and advent candles in the windows and fairy lights in trees by 1st December. The decorations are usually beautifully simple and fuss-free and draw heavily on nature. This home in Bergen, Norway from the 1800's belonging to Per Olav Sølvberg, an interior stylist and blogger for Residence, wife Ragnhild, four children and two dogs is a fine example of this. Mini fir trees and fir tree branches, hyacinths and naked branches from the trees outside adorn the space for a lovely Christmas feel.

 Home owner: Per Olav Sølvberg. Photography: Kristofer Johnsson. Residence. Found via Elvs with thanks.

So pretty! I can almost smell the lovely scent from the fresh pine needles and hyacinths, how about you?

Items I know and love: Dining area / sitting room Z1 pendant light, IKEA PS 2012 chair, Muuto wood table lamp, Flos 265 wall light, R print. Kitchen Le Creuset pot, stools, vintage chopping boards. Workspace: Light box, this lovely rustic milking stool is similar.

I also love this inspiration for a 'simple and delicate' Scandinavian Christmas. And a welcoming understated bouquet of eucalyptus on a guest bed.

How cute are these DIY Cranberry wreath placecards? So pretty!

More Scandinavian Christmas inspiration found here (scroll down passed the first home as it will be this one) and here.

Have a lovely day!
