It's pouring with rain here this morning - in that cosy way you only feel when you actually don't have to go out in it?! I was actually planning on posting something vibrant today but actually this beautiful grey Swedish apartment matches the day far better - so I'll park the other one for tomorrow's post! There's a lot to be said for grey - it's calm, it's elegant and it's sort of 'adult' in a way that I love. Do you know what I mean? This Swedish apartment combines grey (in the form of doors, skirting boards, radiator covers, window frames and textiles) with black and white and a hint of cognac leather. And there's some fab lighting going on too! Let's take a tour....
Source: Bosthlm I love how the kitchen cabinets extend around the corner - what a clever way to add work surface and storage in a small space ( this home is a mere 38 square metres / 409 square foot)?
A few items I know and love:
dining -
Thonet chairs (absolutely love these!),
aim suspension lights.
sitting room -
Sinnerlig daybed,
linen throw,
sheepskin throw,
sinnerlig stool,
leather ottoman.
bedroom - charcoal linen
pillow cases, light grey
linen sheet (in fact my latest linen love has got to be anything and everything from this
etsy shop -
be still my beating heart!!
After something a little
er brighter today? Why not dig into my (dangerous) archives for a few hours and check out this
white Brooklyn home with vibrant touches, a
Swedish home with black floors and fun, colourful touches, and the
happy home of a Dutch illustrator (you can always count on the Dutch for some wonderful pops of colour!).
By the way, I loved the discussion in the comment section
yesterday (a home tour not to be missed by the way) - so interesting! If you have any constructive thoughts on the homes I show, please do leave a comment in the section below and join the chat!

You can stop raining now Sweden.
