Studio Lotta Agaton for Marbodal

Studio Lotta Agaton for Marbodal

Studio Lotta Agaton styled a series of kitchen designs for Marbodal and this setup is by far my favorite. First of all, the combination of the black kitchen with the white countertop and the light wooden flooring works very well. Apart from that, the element that really stands out here is the peg rack that spreads over the entire kitchen, which looks very impressive.

I’m thinking about a smaller version of a wooden peg rack in our kitchen to hang some pretty kitchen items as well. I would probably not go the entire kitchen and especially don’t hang it this full, however in this setup it looks amazing.

Stylish home in greige

post

I think this spacious Swedish apartment looks amazing and I like the subtile color choices of the space and interior decoration. The large combined kitchen and living room has been painted in a greige (grey and beige combined) color, which works very well with the natural light coming through the many windows.

The black kitchen with the marble countertop adds some contrast in this space and the kitchen island divides the two areas in a nice way. The vintage round dining table has a lot of character and the lines of the matching vintage Thonet chairs mix up the otherwise rather straight lines in this room. The living room area looks very soft and inviting and there the Pholc chandelier and the vintage leather armchairs really catch the eye.

The bedroom is kept very minimal. The dark walls are a design element on its own if you ask me. They must have such an impressive effect when you walk into the room and it seems like there is enough daylight to pull dark walls like this off. The feathery Vita EOS lamp and the vintage stool next to the bed add some character to this room as well.

Sundling Kickén for In My Corner

post

This is the latest work of Swedish stylists Sundling & Kickén for the InMyCorner shop. The painted walls look great together with the architectural details of this amazing building. The decor matches this elegant look and some modern pieces give this space a fresh look.

The living room has a large velvet area rug, which matches the grey velvet sofa and contrasts nicely against the vintage leather safari armchair. The glass coffee table keeps this look light. The round dining room has a statement dining table (nothing less than a large marble-footed table would match in such a majestic room) paired up with oak Wishbone CH24 chairs and a lovely gallery wall above the wainscoting.

The bedroom has been designed very warm and cozy and I like that the color of the wall comes back in the curtains and the blanket. A rug adds to this soft bedroom look and the large wooden bedside table matches this whole setting perfectly.

Minimal Studio

There is something that inspires me about small studio spaces that are well designed and have a balanced look. When you live in a small space, you have to make such careful choices about what comes into your home and you are forced to adopt a minimal lifestyle. Making these careful decisions about what you place in your space is just as important however when you have more space available, but since it’s not such a necessity it often is forgotten and we can easily just add one more thing, a trap I find myself falling into way too often.

I think this space even though small in surface, looks very spacious because of the light color palette and space around the rather small furniture. It shows us the importance of selecting the right items. The bed is used as a daybed during the day by covering it with linen sheets and pillow cases for a light and airy look. The mirror and HAY Tray table as a nightstand (the same one in a bigger size is used as a coffee table as well) form a separation between the two areas. The mirror also makes the room look bigger because of the reflection.

In the kitchen the small round Muuto Base table combined with three Ant chairs from Fritz Hansen make an ideal dining area next to the window. The kitchen makes use of wall cabinets all the way to the ceiling to create storage space.

The space is decorated with minimal and neutral items in general, while items like the HAY trunk vase and the leather armchair give some contrast and character to this otherwise neutral decor.

Weekend cookie baking

post

Sunday cookie baking - via Coco Lapine Design blog Sunday cookie baking - via Coco Lapine Design blog Sunday cookie baking - via Coco Lapine Design blog

I decided to bake some cookies yesterday, a typical winter activity. I’m not such a talented baker (still learning really), but a basic chocolate chip cookie is something I can manage to get right (I used this recipe). Now we can enjoy them with some coffee this afternoon, and cherish a quite Sunday afternoon.

Asplund Palais

Asplund Palais Collection - via Coco Lapine Design blog stained oakAsplund Palais Collection - via Coco Lapine Design blogAsplund Palais Collection - via Coco Lapine Design blog Swedish Asplund have just released the Palais Series designed by Anya Sebton and Eva Lilja Löwenhielm which consists out of a series of side tables, a dining table and lounge tables.

The designers chose to “play with the elegance and luxury from past tense with a semi-circular profile that creates a beautiful relief together with a pure Scandinavian expression”. The foot of the tables are made of lacquered oak panels which gives them a very unique and distinctive look.

Bedroom and living room combination

post

I think this is a great example of a combined living and bedroom area in a small apartment.  The bed is placed on the one end of the room, separated from the living room area by the mirror and nightstand. The HAY peas area rug in the living room marks this surface as its own and the curtains cover the entire wall, which makes the space look bigger and gives it a hotel feeling.

The Pholc pendant light and the clothing rail by Annaleena have the same minimal outlines, which brings the two areas together. The light and natural color palette makes this space look bigger and classic items like the bentwood chair and the Artek stool make the space characteristic and unique.

Bright living room with an industrial touch - via Coco Lapine Design blogThis spacious living room is filled with natural light and has something of an industrial look because of the ceiling beams and large windows. The space includes an area with sofa’s, a dining table and a small desk, which is a lot but still it doesn’t feel like it is overcrowded.

I like the combination of the fabric sofa and the leather armchairs. This combination of materials looks great in this white space and the glass coffee table looks very light in this setup, almost floating on top of the soft grey area rug.

The art wall on the other side of the living room looks amazing as well and I like that it spreads over all the way from the sofa area to the small desk and connects both areas visually. The desk seems to be a vintage find with a worn out look which looks great paired up with the Grand Prix chair from Fritz Hansen.

Kitchen in marble and wood

post

This kitchen looks very warm and inviting to me. The wooden cabinets go very well with the brass handles and the marble countertop and splash guard. I like the combination of open shelving and top cabinets against the wall as well. It makes for ample storage possibilities, but also an area to display your nicest things (like the lamp, plant and pretty cups in this case).
