Get the look: inspiring sitting room of an interior designer

Well hello there! I had a great start to the week yesterday with a photo shoot at my friend, interior designer Genevieve Jorn's home in the centre of Malmö. If you're an avid reader of My Scandinavian Home I'm sure you're already familiar with Gen's home - we've been following her fabulous renovation one room at a time over the past year (take a peek inside her kitchen, office and bedroom). And now, with a little help from beautiful danish brand Nordal, a selection of art and her tree, 'Benjamin'- her sitting room and dining area is now complete! Here are a few shots from the cosy living area where Gen, her husband Kasper and cutest little Olivia love to hang out!

What a great space? I secretly wanted to stay and hang out right there on the sofa all week!

I especially love how the space is filled with art, personal touches and a mix of old and new.

The wooden pharmacy sideboard, console, and dining table compliment the original herringbone floor and add a wonderful warmth to the room - and the plants truly bring it to life (Gen bought 'Benjamin' from an online second hand store for a song! It's so worth keeping an eye out for bigger plants online - businesses are often selling them off!

Is there anything you love in particular about this space?

If you're wondering about any of the other items give me a shout in the comment section below and I'll do my best to help.

Have a great day!

A lovely, light, Swedish split-level

Hej hej! I hope you had a lovely weekend?  It was a long bank holiday here and the Swedish sun shone down on us from start to finish so we did our best to soak it up and store it up! There's something beautiful about the incredibly sharp Nordic light and feeling the warmth of the sun's rays on your skin at 8pm - so magical!  This Swedish space high up in the roof tops of Gothenburg looks as though it might just be bright all year round though! Decorated in white and pale grey with sheer curtains and soft textiles throughout, it's a true oasis in the heart of the city!

It looks as though the second floor was created from converted attic space - hence the white spiral staircase (love that, how about you?!). The original pattern in the glass windows of the dividing doors and the coat rack in the hall caught my eye, lovely!

Any tips on where the coat rack is from? 

Is there anything that stands out to you?

Get the look:  sitting room - the söderhamn sofa from IKEA, Flos 2097 pendant light, Jetson armchair by Bruno Mathsson. Office: wishbone chair, lonely house print, source made to measure white linen curtains here. Bedroom - string shelves, söderhamn section from IKEA.

I'm on an all day photo shoot today - very exciting as it's been a while since I got my camera out! Go, go go! It's going to be hawwwwt again today so I hope I'll have time for one of these afterwards - I'll totally deserve it right? I think you should join me! yum?!

Have a great start to the week!

PS Thank you so much to Victoria over at wonderful blog SF Girl By Bay for the lovely review of
