The former Swedish apartment of Jasmina Bylund

Just before Christmas I shared Swedish interior designer, photographer, storyteller and founder of Wiho Design, Jasmina Bylund's beautiful house. Jasmina and her 'sambo' (live in partner) and their three children - Winston (3.5) and Belle (6 months) moved last summer  - leaving behind this beautiful apartment. I couldn't resist sharing a few pictures of their lovely former home with you today! I'm sure you'll understand why!

Oh so nice! Loving all the sheer textiles and shades of grey and green (this apartment follows a similar scheme, in a slightly more broody way!). 

How about you?

Get the look from Jasmina's beautiful former home:

Grey and Greige in a Magnificent Berlin Home

Why, hello there! How was your weekend? Kind of whizzed by, like mine?! Don't worry, this is going to be a great week for us all, I can feel it in ma' bones! I'm back home in London today enjoying a little snuggle time with my one year old niece (she's adorable - I might just have to pack her into my case and take her back with me!). I did manage to tear myself away for just enough time to create today's post though. I thought, being a hectic Monday and all, I should opt for a home tour with an element of calm, what do you reckon? This beautiful home belongs to interior stylist Selina Lauck, her boyfriend Olli, a cutler (AKA knife maker - yes, I had to look that up!) and four year old dog Gordin (look closely and you might just spot him!) in Berlin Mitte. Selina studied fashion design before realising that this wasn't her passion, and after a year in Oslo, returned to Berlin to work for Danish brand Hay. Her love for Nordic design shines through every corner of her home, which she describes as 'minimalist with a Scandinavian influence'. Enjoy!

Photography: Selina Lauck

Wow! What an incredible home - don't you think?! Selina's minimalist style and subtle colour scheme allows the magnificent structure and period features of the space to shine through - so perfect!

Here's a little guide to where things are from:

Bedroom: Mantis table lamp (I've got the same in my office!), House of Baltic sells similar linen bedding. Wall colour by Farrow & Ball.

Kitchen: lamp from Kai Linke, Alessi kettle (love this!) faceless portrait from faroe island artist Gurilla Artstudio, wall colour by Farrow & Ball.

Hallway: this round mirror is similar, print from The Poster Club.

Sitting room: Knoll diamond chair, Begonia Maculata print by Coco Lapine, Menu dining chairs. Hay sofa.

If you don't already follow Selina on Instagram, it's an absolute must (she's so good at tagging too - something I need to be better at!!). A little birdie tells me she's also launching an interior blog any time soon - stay tuned! Oh and, the word on the street is that the wonderful Jules from Herz Und Blut paid Selina a visit recently and snapped a beautiful home tour (check it out here!).

More beautiful Berlin homes here too!

Have a fab start to the week!

PS Tonight I'm heading to Regent Street to celebrate the launch of the new limited edition Nespresso Variations Confetto collection in collaboration with artists Craig and Karl (candy inspired coffee blends - fika galore! Yay! More on Instagram stories later!

PPS The voting for the Domino Design Blog Awards finishes tomorrow - I'd be soooo grateful if you can take a mo to stop in and cast a vote one last time here (My Scandinavian Home can be found in the category 'Best International Design Blogs'). Thank you so much!

Embracing the grey, Swedish style

When it starts to get cold and grey outside sometimes the only way is to embrace it. Like in this Swedish home! For some it might be missing that dash of colour - for others it's an oasis of calm and serenity. Either way, there's definitely a little inspiration in here for all (a triple row of pillows might be a good place to start -  just how much do you want to sink into that bed right now?!). Put up your feet, take a fika and enjoy the tour!

So calm! I'm liking the hooks and round mirror (they're everywhere right now) in the bedroom - so simple to replicate - and yet lovely too!  I there anything that stands out to you?

Get the look: sitting room - Jetson armchair, Tati sofa table, bestlite wall sconce, the black and white spotted and stonewashed white linen cushions are similar, source similar prints at The Poster Club (would love to know who the swimmer is by - any tips?!). dining - wishbone chair. bedroom - round mirror, wooden hook rack, white bestlite wall sconce.

See more Scandinavian homes in shades of grey here - or for lovers of bolds and brights - you'll love this colourful home archive!

Super excited to receive the French version of my Lagom book in the post yesterday - eeeeee! It's available for pre-orders here and will launch on 2nd November, 2017! Merci beaucoup!

Have a lovely day!

PS I hope you don't mind a mini reminder to vote for My Scandinavian Home in the Domino Design Blogs Awards (category 'Best International Design Blogs' - I'd be so happy if you do :)

Get the look: a calm Swedish apartment!

Hello! So it's back to Sweden today and a tour of a lovely apartment in Gothenburg. Safe to say, if I was to envisage my dream apartment, this would be it. The original period features, high ceiling and light wood floor are perfection - and I can already picture myself throwing open the balcony door and drinking in the sunlight (along with my extra strong coffee!), not to mention getting together for a candlelit dinner with friends in the kitchen. Getting carried away - who me?!  The beautiful space has been decorated in shades of grey, pops of brass and cognac and the hint of a pale pink accent which is so very now and yet timeless too. I spy some very fine classics too. Enjoy the tour!

Could you imagine living here too?!

I guess we can't all move to Gothenburg in an instant (sadly), but we can still get the look! Here are a few items I love (links beneath):

1. Mobil 5 pendant  2.  Dusty rose linen cushion 3. Slope leather dining chair 4. Ikea cabinet 
5. Round jute mat 6. Lup wall candle holder (feeling like I need one of these in my life!) 7. Mantis BS2 wall light 8. Hay oak elephant table 9. Thonet dining chair 10. grey linen tablecloth (available in different sizes).

News in from Sarah (thank you!) - the fab brass shower is from Swedish shop Tapwell.

Off for a very late lunch at Malmö Saluhall (one of my fave lunch spots - take a peek on Instagram stories to see why!) and then planning a little photography at home today - will need to play some tunes and light a candle or two to set the mood (it's kind of dark outside) - what are you up to?

Have a lovely day!

A calm and elegant Swedish home

Hello! We have a birthday in Da house! My daughter's turns 7 today! And as you might know already, we take birthdays very seriously (after all, everyone deserves a very special day - and you only turn 7 once, right?!). In between pancakes (with blueberries, raspberries and Swedish honey), present opening and bowling (guh! - the things we do to keep our little ones happy!) I found a window to share this very lovely Swedish apartment with you. It immediately struck me as calm, elegant and sophisticated - a great combination! The space has been styled for sale and the images de-saturated somewhat - but you can still pick up on the grey, green, brass and dusty pink hues and there's so much inspiration from the details too! Enjoy!

Photography - Alvhem, found via Coco Lapine Design with thanks! 

I love so many things about this home - the duck print (how fabulous is the kitchen in general by the way?!), the pendant over the table (any tips on where this is from?), little brass plant mister, the Platner coffee table and mantis table lamp on the desk (I've got the same one on mine!!) as well as the beautiful brass coat rack (again, tips welcome!). Oh, and if you're up for a similar round mirror check out our round-up from last week.

Is there anything that caught your eye?

Right, better get on with the birthday celebrations... have a great day!

PS - in case you missed it, I shared the final two short films from my greenhouse make over with Emily Henderson yesterday! Seeing the project on film makes me want to hunt for my very own greenhouse here in Sweden - are you tempted?!
