Fresh Dutch style with cheerful pops of colour

Somehow I've ended up with quite dark wood in my home - (mainly due to the pieces of mid-century furniture from my parents-in-laws attic - seen in my sitting room) I love these items and couldn't bear to part with them but one day I would love to go for a fresh, light feel. These lovely spaces created by Studio LileSadi hit the spot with the soft feel and pretty pops of colour. Every shot features their signature pieces - which include beautiful shelving, prints, cushions, blankets and even a birdhouse side table (love that - it even has a built in light?!). Enjoy!

Oh so lovely, don't you think?

What type of wood do you have in your home?

You can find many of the items you see in their webshop (and read more about the Dutch shop Studio LileSadi).  Source beautiful pure linen bedding here.

I love Dutch style -  often associated with as light with cheerful dashes of colour - and am often featuring them here on My Scandinavian Home.  You can find a few of my favourites here. And of course Holly's studio in Delft, which I featured yesterday! It's turning out to be a bit of Dutch week?!

Have a lovely day!

Could you imagine working in this studio?!

This week I officially went back after the summer (cue the daily posts!). As many of you know, before I decided to focus on my own projects I worked for a multinational corporation in a large open plan office over looking a car park on one side and a motorway on the other (guuuuh!). These days my work environment looks a little different. But I've learned that wherever you work there are always small updates you can do to shake things up a little and make it your own. Take Holly Marder's lovely studio in Delft, Holland. I featured it a while ago here, and now she's made some wonderful updates....both small and large. Let's take a peek.....

Photography / styling - Holly Marder / Avenue Lifestyle.

Could you imagine working here?!

A few items I know and love: Cove and Leaf lines posters. Anne Black hanging planters. Wicker chair from Tine K Home. Leaning rack from Walden. The fab side-cabinet doors are from Superfront.

Holly's bedroom is pretty lovely too (in case you missed it previously). 

See the full feature which includes 'six steps to a fun, fresh and functional home office' over on Holly's blog. 

For more office inspiration today you might also want to check out the creative studio of Katrin Bååth, a beautiful Italian design studio and the fabulous studio of an interior designer. Soooo fab! It wouldn't feel like work in any of these would it?!

Love these work links too:

My 'work' Pinterest board features over 600 lovely office, studio and atelier spaces - can you believe that?!

7 daily habits of highly productive people (strange, it doesn't include slow coffee and long breakfasts - not sure about this list?!).

This beautiful studio has been created by IKEA! The Alex drawers are a favourite of mine.

How lovely is this mid-century desk? Hurry though, it's a one off!

Now I feel like I need to update my office - again! How about you? I'd love to hear about your work space!

Have a lovely day!
