This is the latest interior project of Studio Lotta Agaton. I think the beige and grey color palette in this home works so perfectly and gives the space a very soft and inviting look. The Menu Offset sofa combined with the marble plinth gives the living room a clean yet sophisticated look which is softened out by the fluffy area rug.

The bedroom has a very clean look as well. The white Louis Poulsen Yuh lamps on each side bring symmetry to this setting and I love the linen fringe blanket in beige matching the linen curtains. I think a beige color palette is really spreading in so many interiors nowadays and I like how fresh it looks.

Elin Kickén’s home

The work and blog of Swedish stylist duo Sundling-Kickén is one of my favorite sources of inspiration at the moment. Their spot on accessory selection and tone on tone color combinations are so beautiful and this is of course no different in their own home. This home belongs to Elin Kickén and is painted in a mixture of greys and beiges for a moody and inviting look.

The carefully selected artwork on the wall and the sculptures you find throughout the apartment make this place look very characterful and the many textiles have a soft and inviting effect.

Sundays are for resting and taking time to have a later breakfast with people you like. I like breakfast or brunch so much, it makes the whole weekend.

Fresh classic bedroom

Even though I’m generally more for a minimal and modern look in my own home, I like to explore other styles and be inspired by classic looks like this gorgeous bedroom. Pieces that can easily look old and stuffy get a fresh look when combined with modern pieces and soft textiles. I think this bedroom looks fresh and cozy at the same time and I love the vintage desk next to the window.

Spacious and stylish living area

I like the way this living room is furnished. Even though this is quite a big space, the fact that the furniture is carefully placed and chosen makes it look even bigger. By picking a couch that fits exactly between the two windows, a lot of space is saved and the pieces can breath.

The round dining table on the other side of the room is a perfect choice too in this place and the pendant above it works very nicely. By placing an area rug under the coffee table, the two areas are visually separated and some extra softness is added to the interior.

Cozy home with a vintage touch

There is something about this home that looks so tranquil and cozy. I think it’s the many kinds of wood mixed up with soft textiles. The vintage pieces definitely make this space look more characterful as well.

The color palette in the bedroom stands out to me especially. The mustard accents, combined with the sand bedding and the beige linen is such a great look.

25 years of Trinidad

post

25 years of Trinidad - via Coco Lapine Design blog 25 years of Trinidad - via Coco Lapine Design blog

The iconic Trinidad chair designed by Nanna Ditzel (1923–2005) for Fredericia celebrates its 25th birthday this year. To celebrate this occasion, the brand is bringing out a new version of the chair in smoked grey and light grey oak, which highlights the beauty of the natural materials used in the design.

Designing the Trinidad, Nanna Ditzel found inspiration in the elaborate fretwork from the so-called Gingerbread Facades, that she had often seen whilst on a holiday in the Caribbean Island of Trinidad.

Propagating a Golden Pothos plant

post

Propagating a Golden Pothos plant - via Coco Lapine Design blogPropagating a Golden Pothos plant - via Coco Lapine Design blogPropagating a Golden Pothos plant - via Coco Lapine Design blog

I love having plants around the house, especially in winter. I love buying them in flower shops, markets or in bigger plant stores and I love taking care of them over the weekend. It’s almost a meditation for me. I often shop for new species of plants that I don’t have yet, but I never buy the same one unless it dies, which happens sometimes especially while I travel.

With every plant I have, I try to propagate and make a little plant. Sometimes it works out and often it doesn’t. Some plants are so easy to propagate (like a Phillea) and some just won’t work in my case. I’ve had some success with the Golden Pothos plant in the pictures so I wanted to share with you how I did it. There are these brown notes on the green stem of the plant, which you can see well in the second picture I took. Cut a piece of plant right below the note with a sharp scissors and place the cutting in water. The roots for the new plant will grow out of the note and then you can plant it in a small pot.  Make sure the cutting has enough sunlight and refresh the water often.

The plant in the bigger pot is a cutting from the other one. I tried potting it in a bigger pot and it has been growing steadily. I hope it will get bigger than the other one so I can place it on a high bookshelf with the leaves falling down.

Tondo mortar & pestle

post

Tondo mortar & pestle - via Coco Lapine Design blog Tondo mortar & pestle - via Coco Lapine Design blog

Tondo is a mortar & pestle designed by Jessika Källeskog for Design House Stockholm.  The designer wanted to reshape tradition while thinking about a calmer motion and a different form. Tondo is both a sculpture and a tool, something very unique and yet very familiar. If you ask me this is one of the prettiest mortar & pestles I have seen so far and it would look great on many kitchen counters.
