I love it when the doors and windows can be flung open, the sun streams in and you can pad about the place bare foot and fancy free. This Gothenburg apartment captures the spring vibe perfectly with it's light-filled open plan living space, balcony and bright pops of green. I love the mix of old and new - Scandinavian modern, vintage and industrial, what a
perfect blend? And who needs a large backyard to have a herb garden - I really like the idea of using the full height of balcony railings for important culinary ingredients, how about you?!

If you're looking for a big plant for your home why not source one second hand? One of my friends, Gen, bought beautiful greenery on
Blocket (Sweden's version of
Gumtree) - in fact you can see it in her sitting room
here. You never know if someone in your neighbourhood or a local business are looking to get rid of some beautiful greenery?! (More plants and flower inspiration
here).

Other lovely light-filled homes which are bound to brighten up your day include this
idyllic Danish cottage, a back-to-basics
Oregon cottage, and a pared-back
Finnish cabin. Or if you're thinking outdoors - this
Montreal oasis will always be my favourite - imagine?!
Have a lovely sunny day!
