I’m in love with everything in this bedroom. From the sparkly white floors, to the soft grey wall combined with a concrete wall to the big plants, the large windows and the wooden bed frame. All these elements come together perfectly in this light bedroom look.

This small studio space has a beautiful blue kitchen, combined with a green velvet couch which really stands out in this small interior. The layout of this studio is small, yet since a half wall has been added in between the kitchen and the bedroom and sofa area, it feels planned out quite nicely.
Apart from the eye-catching green velvet sofa, I absolutely love the blue kitchen combined with the white metro tiles and the vintage dining table. The round dining table and chairs are vintage, which adds a nice texture to the space. In terms of layout, the table was placed in the middle of the apartment, connecting all functional areas together.
In case you are looking for more blue kitchen inspiration, take a look at this post, where I compiled a list of the best kitchens with blue cabinets.
The beautiful green velvet sofa really with matching back cushions and round pillows on the side is a real eye-catcher in the space. A green velvet sofa is quite the bold choice in such a small room, yet by combining it with a plexiglass sofa table, which you can see through, the sofa area doesn’t look too busy.
While the kitchen is very present in this home already, the green velvet sofa adds even a little extra to this look that is already rich in deep colors. While in this example a full-sized bed is added to the space, you might also think about picking out a sleeper sofa in green velvet if floor space is a challenge.

I usually like to use very neutral colors in our home, not just because I like this look, but also because everything always matches together. I’m very much inspired though by this home that has some bold color choices in it. The mustard yellow sofa is a real statement piece and matches the green wing doors and the dark grey bedroom wall very well.
The light grey kitchen combined with the wooden open shelving on the upper part of the layout adds a playful touch to the space, which can be seen from the beautiful double doors leading up to the living room.
The marble bathroom includes both a seating bench and a shower niche for an optimized bathroom layout that is both elegant and functional.

I’m very much drawn to this styling made by Pella Hedeby for Ikea Finland. She used a lot of black combined with natural elements, which gives a very graphic, but also calm and soothing feeling to this space.
The color palette of this bedroom is very soft and fresh looking. The blue – grey of the walls is made warmer by the mustard accents of the fabric chairs, pillows and the vintage drawer chest. The built in cabinets around the sliding door are a nice solution for a small bedroom as well.

I like the simplicity of this white home with wooden floors and grey walls in the living room. The black accent furniture pieces, prints and accessories make this look more graphic and interesting.

This kitchen in black and dark stained wood was designed by Norm Architects in collaboration with Menu for an apartment in Copenhagen. I like this dramatic look a lot and love the flower detail that was obviously just added for the pictures, but stands out so beautifully.

I love it when old and new meet and this bedroom is the perfect example of this. The old wide mirror is the center piece of this bedroom and functions as a headboard as well (not functionally, just visually). By adding minimal pieces like the marble shelf and the two wall lamps, this look becomes instantly more interesting.

As you might have noticed on my Instagram (and especially in my Insta-stories), last week I went to Copenhagen to join the Scandi Design Tour 2017, organised by Fredericia and Georg Jensen.
On the first day we visited the brand new Fredericia showroom where we got a craftsmanship and history tour by Thomas and Rasmus Graversen themselves (2nd & 3nd generation of the company). After this we met one of the craftsmen from Tränsjo Garveri who showed us how the leather of the Spanish chair is carefully cut, smoothened and colored on the sides. We got to try out our own keychain as well, which you can see in the 4th picture. In the afternoon we went to visit Space Copenhagen, who told us all about their vision, their design process and their experiences with designing the Swoon chair and Spine Collection. In the evening we had the most amazing dinner on Fredercia’s rooftop and made our own cocktails with the new Georg Jensen Sky bar collection.
On the second day we went to visit Georg Jensen and got a tour of the smithy by Senior vp of design Nicholas Manville, who showed us how many hours go into the perfectly crafted silver pieces by crafts(wo)men that are specially trained in a four year Georg Jensen apprenticeship. We saw how the famous Torun Bangle is crafted (only a fraction of the process, as the entire process takes up 10 hours to complete) and even tried a few steps of the process ourselves. After lunch we visited the design lab, where we met designer Aurélien Barbry, the designer behind the Sky Collection. It was amazing to hear the story of how the organic shapes in the collection came to live and to see the amount of prototyping that goes into the design of a single product. You can see the prototype shelf in the last picture by the way.
This is the latest work of interior stylish Laura Seppānen for Lumo homes. It’s not an easy task to make a newly built home look and feel cozy, warm and inviting. Laura managed to do this by using many different materials and textures and she used black as an accent color, which adds a little bit of a dramatic effect to this look.
