Black, white and copper in a Stockholm space

It's Friday.I'm in love...with this black, white and copper apartment in Södermalm, Stockholm. What a space! Light, airy and bright with beautiful designer pieces and the odd vintage find. Really what's not to love? I could pad around here over the weekend, how about you?!

A few pieces I know and love: CopperShade light by Tom Dixon, Bertoia Side chairs, Diamond Light, House Doctor rug in the kitchen and the Marimekko Hetkiä shower curtain.

My three favourite copper pieces: The Kubus copper candle holder, Tom Dixon Etch tea light holder (which I have in my sitting room) and Scented Candle London (the perfect present for any Londoners living away from home! :). 

But does anyone know where those copper mirrors are from? I feel like I need those in my life! And the black magazine rack?!

For more inspiration you might like to take a peek at this home of a Swedish interior designer which also channels the copper trend. Or how about monochrome and brass?!

Have a wonderful weekend, up to anything great?!

Beautifully Small - clever ideas for compact spaces

I love an interiors book. And I was especially excited to come across Beautifully Small styled and written by Sara Emslie. We all know how tricky it can be to decorate a small living space, and Beautifully Small is teeming with lovely interior images, each one illustrating clever tips and creative ideas on how to make a small living space both practical and beautiful. I had the pleasure of meeting the book's photographer Rachel Whiting when she came to shoot my home in Sweden for 'Design Bloggers at Home' last year and I can safely say she is as lovely as she is talented. Here's a sneak peek of Beautifully Small.

I think I might have to buy a few of my friends this for Christmas, what a great idea for a book?

Beautifully Small by Sara Emslie, photography by Rachel Whiting, published by Ryland Peters and Small rrp: 19.99 GBP.

An apartment with a zest for display!

There's something about this Gothenburg apartment which really stands out. The high ceilings and original features from 1907 and the mid century touches certainly play a part in it's fabulousness. But what I notice most is the shelving and other display units and how they differs in style throughout every corner of the home! Whether it's String, IKEA or Vitra, the designers have really thought about what they want and need and the best way to display treasured items.

Which style of shelving do you like the most?

In my bedroom we have a really high sloped ceiling and couldn't find the right shelving to fit the space. So in the end my husband set about designing and building a custom made unit complete with hooks and suspension wires (you can see a glimpse of it here)! Just goes to show, there's always a solution!

Have a lovely day!
