A Zen Swedish space

Evening! I've just been on a lovely train ride through the skåne countryside  - the views were beautiful - one day I might try to capture some of the scenery out of the window and post it on IG. I even passed a sauna floating in the middle of a lake - accessed only by rowing boat! Anyway, I thought I'd nip in with an extra post this evening - a Swedish home tour courtesy of Hitta Hem. The space has been decorated in wood and greys throughout. The beauty is in the details - I love the oversized Bell lamp over the dining table and delicate plants. Let's take a peek.

Hitta Hem

This space has such a zen feel with the linens, rattan and calming greys don't you think?

The roughly painted headboard would make a great DIY project. Other simple yet fab DIY ideas include this hallway 'cloud' mat, a polka dot wall, and for a little luxury - how about a fab walk in wardrobe?! Yes please!

Items I know and love: Bell lamp in grey, pitcher by IKEA, this vintage chopping board is similar, japanese tea pot, Z1 pendant light, rattan chair, sheepskin rug, dark grey 'washed' linen bedding. Chunky knit blanket.

Also loving this grey and white bedroom.

Have a lovely evening!

A serene white and grey Swedish apartment

An eye-watering start today with a train ride to the IKEA headquarters to view all their new products - always so exciting despite the red-eye train! They're doing great things at the mo (love the SINNERLIG collection and all the fab styling by Pella Hedeby including this DIY project I'm on it!). Since I'm back in Sweden I thought I'd also celebrate by showing a classic Swedish home tour with fresh white walls and light grey floors. The natural fibres such as rattan and wood add warmth to the look. Since the clocks have gone back and the light is starting to fade here in the North, light tones are helping to bounce around what little natural light we have - essential!

Lovely!

I love the fifties style kitchen counter top - the pattern is a design classic known as 'virrvarr' and was designed by a member of the Swedish family - Prince Sigvard Bernadotte. The 'boet' glass storage drawers are also an original from the same era - so fab!

I also spy: string shelves, vase with brass top, cluster light, children's brio oven and trolley. 

Farrow & Ball's  'strong white' is a great very pale grey hue for floors.

Other homes with a fresh white and light grey colour palette include this serene swedish space, a cool Stockholm apartment and this dreamy flat.

Have a lovely day!
