Boho interior inspiration with sustainable living tips and tricks

While yesterday's interior inspiration was about keeping it simple, today's is about keeping it real. And IKEA's new book Kinder Homes is absolutely crammed with inspiring, creative tips, tricks and ideas on how to do this. From saving water, energy and waste to recycling and reuse, the book helps us to lead a more sustainable life at home - and judging by the imagery, make our interiors beautiful at the same time. Really, what's not to love?!









I can't decide if I prefer the more modern look of the first three images or boho rustic look of the last three? - which do you prefer? Either way, it looks like there's plenty of inspiration for all and we get ideas on how to live more sustainably too. Perfect!

The book is available in IKEA stores, and it's worth checking out the IKEA website for some of the items you see in these spaces (I spy a lot from the lovely SINNERLIG collection), but for others I'm loving this vintage industrial desk chair (quick snap that up!), Swedish rag rugs, rattan daybed and a silk kimono rob.

Other links I love today....

Pretty balcony inspiration. Or....if you fancy staying in bed.

I've finally found where to buy those clay urns we keep seeing in home tours (beautiful?!)

Love the look of a kilim rug against concrete.

The cutest side table.

I do like the idea of throwing caution to the wind and buying an old bakery on the beautiful Swedish island of Gotland. how about you? Sadly this was sold a few years ago, but it doesn't stop me dreaming! More homes from Gotland (incase you missed them) include this, this and this - heaven!

Right folks that's all for me, have a lovely day and see you tomorrow!

PS To you wonderful style gurus out there, I'm looking for a spring bomber jacket for my 7 year old (who's more the height of a 10 year old)  - any tips? This one could be cute?

A lovely clutter-free, light and airy Swedish pad

Keeping it simple in Sweden today with this light and airy space in Majorna, Gothenburg. Decorated throughout with very light wood floors, the palest grey walls and a lovely mix of old and new, this lovely clutter-free one bedroom apartment is like a mid-week breath of fresh air! Oh and did I mention it's for sale?!







Kvarteret Mäkleri
....And breathe!

Just lovely! Makes me want to go through my wardrobes and have a de-clutter! How about you?

I know I'm likely to get the question - where are the rugs?! Firstly this apartment has been staged for sale so I'm guessing the guys at Kvarteret Mäkleri would like to show-off those beautiful floors (and who can blame them?!). And secondly, Swedish apartments are incredibly well insulated so the wood floor will be draft-free and lovely and soft and warm. Having said that, I'm sure the (lucky) new owner will add a few fab rugs - how lovely was the one in yesterday's post? Feel free to wade in in the comment section below!

Get the look: O coffee table, Patterned and Jacquard Weave cushion in white, Marshall speakers, this bed frame and clothes rail are similar.

Other mid-week links I love:

Ever wondered how the latest interior trends started?

I was so happy to see My Scandinavian Home was included in Swedish magazine Hus o Hem's list of 9 interior blogs to follow. Thank you!

Cute spring style (sneakers), And moodboard.

Wood's sneaking it's way into the home more and more. As seen in this lovely Australian home.

How quickly would you pulse come down in this pool?!

And for the little ones, how cute are these limited edition paddle people?

Have a lovely day!
