Warm brown tones in a white Swedish home

Hejsan hejsan! How are you today? The days are getting daaark here now (is the sun low in the sky where you are too?) and so I'm definitely in need of a little bit of a lift today! This beautiful home fits the bill with it's large windows, white-washed wood floors, walls and ceilings. The starkness is softened by warm brown hues, soft linens and a roaring fire (love that kakelugn!). The minimalist look is down to the home staging, ready for sale, even so I could totally pad around here today and feel totally at home, how about you?!

Oh so lovely! 

Get the look: Ant chair (pick up a vintage set here).  brown linen blanket, natural linen pillow case and duvet cover, white bistro chair, I know it's not the same, but I love this table cloth with a double edge, brown leather apron (beautiful). 

I'm also feeling inspired by this home from home in Australia and a home inspired by nature - both of which have lovely warm brown tones.

Right, better get on with my next photo shoot before the light completely fades. Hurry! I hope you've got something fun on the cards this afternoon too?

Have a lovely day!

PS How great are these personalised Star Maps as a Christmas pressie for friends who veer on the mystic side? Happy to have the small independent business behind these - Greater Skies as a partner over the next couple of weeks.

A Swedish home with a hint of Autumn

Well hello there! I have to confess I'm feeling decidedly fragile this morning after a magical weekend in Stockholm  - it's been a while since I danced until 2am  - don't tell my physio! (you may remember I snapped my achilles heel back in May and it's still recovering). Let's just say I'm in need of plenty of coffee today. Nothing that a great home can't cure. And I've got a lovely, serene Swedish space with Autumn accents to share with you today. It's a great example of how to update a home for the season using accessories such as bed linen and cushions in rust, brown and creams and of course, plenty of plants and flowers. Enjoy!

So simple, yet so inviting!

A few favourites: Cesca cane chair (seen round the dining table and by the desk) - source vintage ones here, Karin chair (in sitting room) and the ant chairs.

If you're looking to add similar autumn touches - I'm loving this bed linen, a 'natural' linen table cloth and these Belgian linen cushions!

These homes are also great for pure Autumn interior inspiration - the dreamy The Estate Trentham, a Swedish space with touches of Autumn and an elegant white home. Beeeeeautiful!

Have a great start to the week!

PS Instagram feed tip of the day: follow the renovation of a loft apartment in a 1910 water tower outside of Stockholm on @thewatertowerproject - pure inspiration!
