This is the latest work of talented stylist Susanna Vento for the upcoming fall catalog of Finnish design brand Marimekko. The pictures are shot in a a home with a lot of wood, which is matched with props in very warm and inviting colors.
The contrast between the graphic Marimekko designs and the warm environment looks very nice and I like that the products really stand out in these pictures.
We have a lot of storage space in our kitchen and between the built in vintage cabinet against the wall that came with the apartment and our low kitchen cupboards we always find space to store away appliances and cooking ware. I love displaying pretty kitchen accessories and think it can make a kitchen personal and unique. There is only so much worktop area you can display plants or accessories on though so I’m very happy that the stylish new Woud Elevate shelf moved into our kitchen.
Elevate is a modular shelving system designed by Camilla Akersveen and Christopher Konings that consists out of shelves and dowels that can be assembled in an unlimited number of configurations matching your needs and taste. I have been a fan of the Woud brand and am very happy with the Töjbox and Verde mirror, which are used daily in our hallway. To establish their modern interpretation of the Scandinavian design heritage, Woud works with both upcoming design talents and established designers.
For our kitchen I picked out a configuration of a high shelving setup combined with a slightly lower part. I like this setup and how the design lowers towards our dining table. The soft oak wood looks great in contrast with our black and grey kitchen and I was so happy that no tools were needed for the assembly. I just had to screw on the dowels, place the shelving in between and that was it !
I’m using the shelving as a display for a selection of kitchen objects that are just too pretty to be hidden away and plants that get the perfect amount of light in this spot. I think it made this kitchen corner come together very nicely.
Other then the high shelving system you can see in our kitchen, this versatile system is suitable for any room or purpose and you can create any setup depending on your preference and the space you have available. You can see all available components and some examples of creative configurations on the Woud website.
This post was created in collaboration with Woud, however all words and opinions are my own.
Swedish kitchen brand Ballingslöv recently released there new kitchen design ‘Selected Oak’ and I think this soft wooden finish looks absolutely amazing combined with the white marble countertop. I love the way the grains of the wood make the carefully chosen kitchen accessories stand out in this styling.
Doesn’t this turn-of-the-century Swedish apartment look absolutely amazing? Apart from the beautiful flooring, original (I think) moldings, and doors I think the color palette of this home fits perfectly as well.
The light beige walls throughout the entire space match perfectly with the fishbone flooring. This beige palette is enhanced with ochre and grey accent pieces for a very warm yet fresh welcoming look. Seeing this beige palette makes me want to rethink my own interior.
This is the latest work of talented stylists duo Sundling Kickén for Swedish developer Riksbyggen. They have created a style guide to help people navigate kitchen related choices, which they did in style with a white and natural palette with some black and chrome accent pieces.
I think this minimal and spacious grey kitchen with fishbone hardwood flooring looks so amazing. The kitchen design itself looks very light and minimal even though there are cupboards on the top as well.
I like the large round dining table in front of the window, which can seat six people comfortably. The round table in front of the rounded windows is just such a perfect match as well.
This kitchen belongs to Anna Lenskog Belfrage and was recently shared on the Ikea Livet Hemma blog. I love how personal this place looks and even though it’s far from minimal, I think it reflects very nicely how a kitchen looks when we are actually using it, without being too full. I love the green plants and the dedicated coffee area as well.
I think this is such an inspiring studio and a great example of a stylish duplex living solution. I like the antique pieces like the desk and chair mixed up with clean lines, soft linen fabrics and the Beni Ourain rug.
The wood of the kitchen looks very nice as well, matches perfectly with the hardwood fishbone flooring and the white tiles.
I like the layout of this galley kitchen. All cabinets and equipment is placed in the first part of the room, leaving space for a large dining table next to the window. The white exposed brick wall gives some extra character to this area and I like the straight line of string lights there as well.
Other then the layout I think this kitchen also has every espresso lovers dream setup. A countertop entirely devoted to making coffee sounds really nice to me.
These are a few teaser shots of the cookbook Artilleriet published about their love for life in the kitchen, with which they want to attract readers to explore and discover the food culture of Gothenburg and the surrounding areas. In a limited edition of 1500 copies (500 copies for the black version) they share the culinary movement of the West coast of Sweden.
