Sense of space

Swedish brand Asplund has just released these inspiration images from their latest collection 'sense of space'. So I'll give you just that to take a look through!

I love Asplund products, they are simple yet beautiful. I especially love their rugs, perhaps I should get something with a little colour for my sitting room? What do you think?

An exciting edition to the my scandinavian home sponsors today: online shop Kathapult, founded by Katharina Berggreen. I know you'll love her prints which include the wonderful Single Diamond poster prints and very cool knit pattern postcards, among other things!

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Nordic pastels and neons

For those of you with IKEA furniture (err, anyone out there who doesn't own a piece?!) you'll be as excited as I am about Swedish store Bemz and their latest Collection: Nordic Pastels. Bemz promises to give your IKEA sofa, chairs, cushions etc a new lease of life with custom made textiles in the latest spring colours, just add a lick of neon paint! Bemz actually makes me want to go out and buy an IKEA sofa just so I can cover it in apricot fabric and paint the legs neon yellow, what?

Bemz

How about painting your bed / sofa / chair legs in hot neon for a super cool, super quick make-over?

It's a bank holiday here today so I'm off to enjoy the sunshine with my family, I'm tempted to run passed the paint shop too....:)

Ray a drop of golden....orange juice

Nothing brightens up an apartment more than pops of bright colours against a white background. And if you don't have anything bright, here's a styling idea....orange juice! Genius!

Notice how I am starting to sneak in a few outdoor spaces into the posts too; if you're in the northern hemisphere and like me, the garden / balcony is becoming an important spring styling area so all inspiration is welcome (check out the use of rag rugs to add warmth to an outdoor space).

Alvhem Makleri

I spy: the ArchitectMade bird and Rosendahl monkey in the office. The fabric on the chair (these bold patterned armchairs seem to be popular at the moment, did you see the one in yesterday's post too?) is from Svenskt Tenn and Eames side chairs (15% off with code MYSCAN from Design Collectors). Find beautiful rag rugs here on Etsy.

Are there any quick and easy tips you can share for an outdoor space?

The Stockholm Love Warriors

Love Warriors is the latest design company to be making a splash (or should I say crack in the ice) in Stockholm. Co-founded by The Warriors, Yvonne Arentoft and Per Sandahl, Love Warriors provides interior design services, a web shop (opening soon) and private commissions. The creative duo describe themselves as 'treasure hunters traveling the world to find unique items and hidden gems in corners of the forgotten world'. I want their job. (and their talent!).

Love Warriors



It would be a good idea to follow their blog just to keep an eye on when this shop will be opening?! What do you reckon?

Ha så bra!

My Scandinavian Home in Stylist magazine

Hello! This week My Scandinavian Home blog is featured in Stylist magazine UK (in store now!).  So exciting! You may recognise the main image as one from a post I wrote on Muuto here. It was taken by Swedish photographer Petra Bindel in my neighbour's beautiful home which I featured here.

I hope you like the piece.

Other exciting news is that I have started blogging once a week for Design Collectors (click 'Blog' to access). And of course, my nomination for the The Homies (vote here).

Oh no it's all ME, ME, ME today! Ha! I am just excited. Still I hope there's time to rescue myself - HOW ARE YOU TODAY?! And what Scandinavian designer piece would YOU choose?

Lovely day to YOU all! from....me (errr..)

Cute Danish children's bedroom inspiration

Not many do children's bedrooms as well as Danish brand Ferm Living. These images are from their new Spring Summer 2013 collection. It's patterns galore and just so cute for both girls and boys. 

Ferm Living

While we're on the subject of teeny tots, I am also loving all clothes from Loja Dada - sale now on! yay!

PS This isn't a sponsored post, I simply love their style! :)

Black, white, grey and a touch of apricot

Thank you so much to all my lovely guest bloggers - how on earth am I going to follow such a great week of blogging?! I'm very weary having just stepped off a flight from Las Vegas where I've been for work (have you been there? if so what do you make of it?!) and now, back to reality! Before I head off for some much needed sleep I had to show you a few pics from the shiny new spring summer collection from Danish firm, Tine K Home. As usual their collection is absolutely lovely. I love the touches of apricot and dusty pink.

If you're going to Helsinki....

On my list of places to go in 2013 is Helsinki, Finland. I absolutely love Finnish design and Helsinki is teeming with fantastic design shops and museums.

The Finnish Design Shop 'pop-up' shop in Helsinki which I think is now closed. But keep an eye out on their website for more pop up shops!

Have you been to Helsinki? (Or are you lucky enough to come from Helsinki?) Perhaps you can give me some tips?!

Which city do you have top of your list for 2013?

Have yourselves a very merry Wednesday all and I'll see you tomorrow!
