A finnish home with nature at the heart

I love it when a plan comes together. The pictures of this beautiful Finnish house are a culmination of cabin manufacturers Kannustalo, stylist extraordinaire Susanna Vento and photographer Riika Kantinkoski. Every aspect of the build and styling is centred around putting nature at the heart of the home; whether through the vast windows which offer spectacular views over the lake, or the abundance of wood and other natural materials inside. The result is an incredibly calm, open space in which to unwind. What a beauty?!

Oh so fabulous.

Could you imagine unwinding here?!

A few items I know and love: sitting room - MANTIS floor lamp, cabinet from IKEA. Bedroom - le Lampe Gras wall light. Pick up white stonewashed bed linen here.

See Riika's own home here. Riika and Susanna also teamed up to produce this lovely book.  

Seeing these beautiful Finnish spaces has got me even more excited about my pending trip to Habitare this September! Think I might just have to stay a few extra days to enjoy Helsinki too! Will you be there?

Have a lovely day!

A beautiful Malmö home

This elegant home is nestled in the Rösjöstaden (I dare you to try and pronounce that word!) district, here in Malmö, made up of beautiful apartment buildings dating back to the late 19th century. Communal sweeping staircases lead to apartments characterised by spacious rooms, high ceilings and large windows which capitalise on the light. The owners of this lovely apartment have added deep grey and blue accents as well as touches of magenta, emerald and red to create a truly personal oasis. And now it's on the market!
















For sale through Bolaget. 

What a beautiful home? It looks so unbelievably calm, don't you think?!

Fancy a move to Malmö anyone?! It's a great city!

A few items I know and love: Safari daybed, Sinnerlig pendant, Bistro chairs.  

You can see more of this lovely home over at Bolaget (just saying!).

Have a lovely day!

PS Happy national day to all in Sweden! I have two little girls beside me waiting to head off and enjoy it - better head off on that cycle ride I've promised (followed by a fika of course!).

Imagine whiling away your summer here....

Hello there! Dropping by to share these lovely images from the Tine K Home spring / summer 2017 Boho collection with you. The shoot took place at the beautiful La Granja Ibiza and the look has me dreaming of summer holidays in far away places - no schedule to keep, no e-mails to tend to, only carefree days reading, lounging on the terrace and enjoying the odd dip in the pool. How heavenly?!










What a beautiful location? I love how cool the house looks (I can imagine the breeze wafting through!) -  and that pool looks pretty inviting to, don't you think?!

Many of these items are available through Tine K Home. I'm also loving this bamboo folding table, bamboo chair, and wood basket.

Do you have any great plans for the summer (or winter - if you're down South!)?

In case you're in need of inspiration, maybe staying at one of these beautiful holiday rentals could do the trick? Or perhaps treating yourself to a stay at La Granja or another fab design hotel?!  Feel free to share your tips below, I'm always after new ideas!

Have a great start to the week!

The beautiful, bold home of a Swedish graphic designer

Hello! I do believe it's the end of the week - woop! Any fun plans for the weekend? We're going to take it easy, but I confess I'll need to do just a little work as the deadline for my next book (about the Swedish philosophy of lagom) is looming...! Eeeek! Before I continue to tap away I'd like to take a moment to revel in the beauty of this Swedish home with you! The dark blue, light blue, grey and green accents, the vintage furniture, the botanical touches - the details - everything! The home of graphic designer Cecilia Hedin is perfect inspiration for anyone looking to channel the dark, bold trend sweeping the interior world right now, or simply looking for a way to update your home with small details (and even display your wifi code!). Step this way...

I love the desk area in particular. And the wallpaper in the hallway, would you dare?!

It's also amazing what a difference traditional baker lights and switches can make to a space too.

Is there anything you love about this space?

Get the look: office - this green filing cabinet is similar. Pick up a vintage wood and metal office chair here. Kitchen - Ant chairs, sheepskin throwHallway - this monstera / cheese plant wallpaper is similar.

If you have a moment, you can check out home-owner Cecilia Hedin's wonderful creative work here.

And for more home inspiration, take a peek at a load more spaces with beautiful blue here.

Have a wonderful weekend and see you Monday!

PS Take a peek inside Marianne's magical Norwegian mountain cabin captured for The Scandinavian Home (I also had the pleasure of staying there for a few days in January and it was just as magical in the snow!). So cosy!
