There's something wonderful about Finnish style. And the home of
Anna Pirkola, a concept designer, interior,
blogger, prop stylist and set designer is no exception. Decorated in white, grey and light wood and peppered with design products- it certainly pays homage to the Finnish interior design style. But Anna's home is unique too. She's added flee market finds in the form of beautiful kilim rugs and a mid-century bureau, DIY pieces (workspace lamp,
wall hangings etc) and a large record and art collection.
Enjoy the tour (to a little
Nina Persson perhaps?!).

A quick guide to some of the lovely pieces in Anna's home: Hay
bella coffee table, Muuto
silent vase, Dark blue painting by
Hanna Perälä,
Smeg fridge,
Gubi Ronde pendant light. Muuto
leaf floor lamp, white metallic shelves from
IKEA,
Visu chair. Anna's
blog is full of inspiration including DIY projects
(lamp for your home office), thoughtful items for the home (I love this
little place to put your jewellery at night from
here) and an insight into idyllic life in Finland (how nice does her
brother's cafe in her great grandparents cottage look?).

here - the Finns really do have a lovely sense of style don't they?
Before I head off I also wanted to alert you to a fab collaboration between luxury Swedish brand
Hästens and award winning textile designer
Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg. The result? Beautiful 'Herbarium bedding' decorated in a kaleidoscope of clematis and hollyhocks (abundant in Sweden in the spring and summer) and made from the finest Egyptian cotton.
Have a great day!
