A calm Swedish space in neutrals and a beautiful wood floor

Hello! I have to say I'm having a quite a few wifi issues here in the rather beautiful and exotic colonial town of Galle, Sri Lanka. It's amazing how frustrating it can be to have intermittent wifi, but I'm trying to convince myself that it's a great thing that I've found a little corner of the world where I can be disconnected for days at a time too! I'm soldiering on regardless and heading (virtually) to a city today where wifi is no doubt working like a dream - and this lovely home in Gothenburg, Sweden. I love the neutral tones - the copper, wood, rattan and cognac against the fresh white - and that beautiful original wood floor. What a calm space?

Entrance. Found via Coterie with thanks. 

What a lovely space! I think I could go home to this pad everyday, how about you?!

Get the look: Ant chair, vintage chopping boards, linen bedding (I was so happy to hear the linen bedding I've been recommending has been a hit by several readers!). Could the print above the bed be from Love Warriors of Sweden? I have a feeling the hexigon mirrors are by IKEA, please correct me if I'm wrong!

Other spaces with a lovely neutral colour theme include this fabulous home in the LA Hills and a stunning Swedish apartment.

Have a lovely day!

PS I'm going to do my best to continue posting this week but I apologise in advance if I can't publish or posts suddenly ping in att odd hours of the day!

PPS So excited to see a great review of my book at The lifestyle Editor and they're offering the chance to win a copy over on instagram too! And thank you so much to Andrea for this lovely review too!

A cosy Swedish home in neutrals - with festive touches.

The winter solstice is around the corner and although I've been up for several hours it's still dark outside. A friend said the great thing about this is you get to use lots of candles which is true, even so  I am really starting to miss the light (is it dark where you are too?)! I think that's what drew me to this Swedish apartment today. The lovely, light-filled apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden has been artfully staged for sale using neutral tones and natural textures by Emma Fischer. The space is perfect inspiration for anyone living in a one room / studio apartment. I especially love the kitchen - it looks as though someone's busy preparing for the Christmas Eve julbord! Lovely!

Such a cosy space don't you think?

I love how seasonal plants and trees have been dotted around the apartment in baskets and paper bags (it reminds me of these mini trees).

Get the look: SINNERLIG daybed, handmade seagrass basket, linen bedding, ARÖD floor lamp. Thonet chairs, Artek stool, the Golden Bell light is similar (receive 15% off the last three items with code MYSCAN), source a black rail here, source vintage chopping boards here, Leaf lines print.

Incidentally the London home of Ilse Crawford (the designer behind the SINNERLIG collection in collaboration with IKEA) is currently for sale here.


I'll be stopping by later today with an exciting give-away so make sure you pop in (it's open to everyone!).

Have a lovely day!
