Splashes of yellow with pretty pastels

There's no denying that Muuto is one of my favourite Nordic brands. They are always spot on with the latest trends, and I love the designs and colours. This selection of images were styled for Muuto by my neighbour's company All The Way To Paris (ATWTP) (you can see my neighbour Petra's beautiful former home here). I'd like a new house just so that I can buy the huge pink Muuto sofa (do you think my husband would agree to that?!).

For more pastel inspiration you could try my 'decorating with pastels label'....I love pale pink with yellow it's such a great way to update the home for spring don't you think?

For other homes with splashes of yellow (the colour de jour it seems) you might want to check out this and this home.

Would you dare go for a bold sofa?

Have a lovely day!

A Malmö home with a touch of brass

I do love to come across homes from here in Southern Sweden. This one is currently for sale through Bo-laget (come and join the Malmö massive!). Decorated in monochrome tones the apartment is a real case of spot the designer piece....with a few real favourites of mine too!

I spy the Eames DSR chairs in black (15% off with MYSCAN), Wishbone chair, Tom Dixon bronze copper Shade light, Knoll diamond armchair (both on sale! :)

The apartment itself has beautiful bones, and although I live in a house I often dream about moving into one of the beautiful old apartments inthe centre of town (is the grass always greener?!).

Other beautiful homes from Bo-laget here, here and here. Which one is your favourite?

Have a wonderful weekend! 

The beautiful apartment of a Swedish interior designer

A stunning Stockholm home

Every now again I come across a real cracker of a home and when I do, I get so excited that I can't wait to share it with you and hear your thoughts! This is one of them. It comes as no surprise that this Stockholm apartment (currently for sale) belongs to the owners of beautiful Swedish interior shop Artilleriet. Simply fabulous, I'm not sure where to start.....

Finnish inspiration

Some light inspiration from Finnish brand Iittala today who have branched out into the world of interiors and launched a new storage system and light for spring / summer. I love the clean lines and the way the spaces have been styled around the products.

What do you think of these new pieces? Do you own any Iittala glasswear?

I had a great time in Copenhagen yesterday evening visiting the new Muuto headquarters. We got to see the latest Muuto collection and meet some of the talented designers behind it. We also enjoyed hot dogs and champagne on their roof terrace! I can't wait to get my photos sorted so I can show you some of their latest collection, it's all very exciting (you can buy fab items from Muuto here). Afterwards I went to Tivoli Gardens and went on some of the scariest rides I've ever been on eeeeeek! It was so much fun though! Have you been to a funfair lately?

It's Midsummer in Sweden tomorrow so I'll be off to dance around a May Pole with my family! I hope you all have a wonderful Midsummer and see you Monday!

Sense of space

Swedish brand Asplund has just released these inspiration images from their latest collection 'sense of space'. So I'll give you just that to take a look through!

I love Asplund products, they are simple yet beautiful. I especially love their rugs, perhaps I should get something with a little colour for my sitting room? What do you think?

An exciting edition to the my scandinavian home sponsors today: online shop Kathapult, founded by Katharina Berggreen. I know you'll love her prints which include the wonderful Single Diamond poster prints and very cool knit pattern postcards, among other things!

Hope you all have a lovely day!

The home of a Danish artist / architect

Hello! I hope you had a lovely weekend? Malmö was en fete with the Eurovision Song contest and the sun came out just for the occasion, all in all such a fab weekend! And a huge well done to the winners, Denmark! To celebrate, it had to be a Danish home for today's post! This is the home of Danish artist and architect Anne Boysen. The home reflects her design philosophy: to surpise and at the same time cultivate simplicity. For examples of her work check out Anne's wonderful shop!

I spy so many Scandinavian desginer pieces! The Uten silo, Eames House Bird the Eames DAW armchairs in black (all 15% off with code MYSCAN), the Kubus candlestick from By Larsen, , Hay bedding, Eames AJ floor lamp, Verpan VP Globe Suspension light, and the Series 7 chair.

There are lots of DIY ideas here too. I love the plywood shelving under the TV, it reminds me of the Muuto stacked shelving system, a weekend project perhaps?

A beautiful Malmö home in neutrals

Hello, and happy Monday! I'd like to kick off the week with a home tour of this beautiful apartment here in Malmö, Sweden (currently for sale, wink wink!). I love the soft, neutral tones of paint, the large open rooms and high ceilings which are so typical of the buildings in the theatre area. The furniture reads like a who's who of designer items and that spiral staircase *sigh*!

Bjurfors Via Stil Inspiration

I spy: the Eames armchair DAR around the dining room table, the Isamu Noguchi coffee table (both 15% off with code MYSCAN :). The Modernica bubble ball lamp, Bertoia's Diamond Armchair (on my wishlist!) and the fabulous bird pendant light by Swedish based designer Hung Ming Chen. Am I missing anything?

Could you live here?

It was super sunny in Southern Sweden this weekend. After a long winter everyone appeared from hibernation, and sat in rows outside cafés with faces angled towards the sun. It was a site to be seen! Ooooo to feel the warmth of the sun on the skin again.

PS a warm welcome to all you lovely new readers. If you get the chance, leave a message, we'd love to hear from you!
