Plant watering and cleaning the bathroom has become somewhat of a tradition on Sundays for me and one of these two tasks is considerably more fun than the other, while the other one gives such great joy afterwards. There is something about a clean kitchen, a clean bathroom or fresh bedsheets that just makes me feel happy and comfortable.

A blissful moment from earlier this morning. I love coffee and the cozy atmosphere that is connected to it. I take time for my coffee breaks during the week but like to take it extra slow over the weekend. I realise I should go magazine shopping as well, that would really make this coffee moment perfect.

I have this String shelf and small office space inside my office, which I like to use when I need a small change of environment. It’s literally 2m away from my desk, but somehow it works and I get new energy for working when I move to another spot. I used to go to a coffee place and work from there from my laptop, which can also be nice.

There is something about moving work spaces to make your to-do list or simply write out some ideas, it has really helped me to be more productive at home.

A combination of warm tints in my bathroom window, a fall appropriate palette which I’m currently enjoying. I got this beautiful splattered ceramic candle holder form Arket* and I love that I can use it as a dish for my jewellery as well.

Coffee from last Sunday. I love taking time for these moments over the weekend and I think they are essential to recharge your batteries and be ready for the next work week. The cups and plates are from Arket* and the napkins are from H&M Home*.

Do you have a green thumb ? I used to be so terrible with plants when I moved into my first apartment in Berlin 9 years ago. I would kill plant after plant and would feel so bad about it that I made it my mission to get better at this over the years and eventually I did. I’m not an expert at plant care yet (it’s a process), but it’s something that I truly enjoy. I usually block time for this over the weekend and it makes me feel relaxed to be nurturing my green friends.

I got to try out these beautiful new plant pots and watering bulbs from the Terra Collection designed by Snøhetta for Georg Jensen and they made my plants look so much more interesting. The Terra series consist out of nine pieces crafted in both terracotta and stainless steel which can be used both indoors and outdoors. I have used two of the largest terracotta planters in the living room and paired them up with my darker green leafed plants because I love how these colors combine with the deep red of the terracotta. In the bigger pots I’m using the stainless steel watering globes as well, which adds such a lovely contrast with this darker setup and I love the way these globes reflect the light as well.

I have used the smaller stainless steel planter for my little avocado tree and I think the fresh green leafs pair up wonderfully with the reflections of the stainless steel.

These contemporary pieces can be used as a sculptural pieces on their own, but can also make a statement when gathered together as a group. The shape of the pieces is inspired by the organic forms found in nature and is an excellent combination of the earthy, organic look and feel of terracotta and the cool, industrial edge of stainless steel. Wider at the base and more narrow on the top, the pieces are stable and offer plenty of room for the roots of the plant to flourish all while creating and elegant, shapely form.

Snøhetta is known for their diverse, groundbreaking projects that range from the SFMOMA extension, the Oslo Opera house, and the National September 11 Memorial Museum to countless furniture and product lines. The designers fused their innovative and experimental approach with Georg Jensen’s enduring legacy for impeccable quality craft. The Terra Collection continues the challenge at Georg Jensen to combine metals with other materials and it’s what I personally love most about this collection as well. The deep terracotta pieces are enlightened with stainless steel details that reflect their surroundings for an interesting mix of textures, all while accentuating and the plant itself.

I can’t believe we are nearing the end of August already, how did the summer pass so quickly ? I really hope we will be getting some summer days until late September, but I think you can already notice the early fall light at home, which makes me want to add blankets and candles into every room. During the summer months, I have spend as little time as possible in my bedroom, just trying to stay cool while sleeping, but when it will get colder, I like my bedroom to be a place where I can relax and feel calm and it’s so important to me that it looks and feels cozy and inviting.

I’ve teamed up with Connox to give my bedroom a fall makeover and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I have known their webshop for a very long time (they are celebrating their 15th birthday this year!) and they are my go-to interior webshop as they have the main nordic brands next to a wide range of smaller independent interior brands and timeless design classics, curated in a very nice way. 

I transformed my bedroom with a range of their accessories and textiles, starting off with a mixture of blankets and pillow cases for a cozy look. I used the HAY mono wool blanket in ‘milk tea’ (perfect color description) combined with a lighter wool blanket from &tradition and a sheepskin, which I think look so wonderful together. During the day I like to have throw pillows on the bed for a finished look, but also to be able to read there and sit comfortably. I worked with a mixture of pillows in different textiles and I love how these different weaves and textures of the pillows and blankets play together and make this look interesting.

My Montana bedside table next to the bed is the ideal spot for the eye-catching Formakami JH18 table lamp. I have the pendant version in my living room as well and I love the simple shape and soft diffused light this lamp brings to the room. I’ve used the HAY colored boxes underneath to create some extra storage space (here and everywhere else in my home, I think I have 10 of these boxes by now, big fan).

On my peg rail, I added the most beautiful hanger from Skagerak, which comes in handy for my bathrobe. I love the simple design of this hanger, with a leather chord to attach and two spots for hanging. The Muuto restore basket is ideal for storing extra pillows and blankets not currently in use.

When I decorate my home, I like to start off with basic and timeless furniture pieces that can stand the test of time and let the textiles and accessories do the work. I think so much can be achieved by changing up the smaller things and as someone that likes to re-style a space, they are my go-to solution for transforming a room with the seasons.

Now I will light this beautiful candle, enjoy my coffee and browse through these Aalto and Bauhaus design books. A perfect Sunday moment if you ask me !

The bathroom is one of these places where cleaning and organizing can make such a big difference, more then in any other room of the home (the kitchen comes close though).  I’m using some new things for organising and changed up the look of this small bathroom a little, so I though I would share some pictures.

In my window sill I’m using these terracotta cannisters from Arket* for keeping cotton buds and pads and since they are so pretty, they can be placed next to my carefully selected items (read, the ones with the prettiest packaging). The small soap dish in my sink* is also from Arket and I love it’s simple shape with a hole in the middle for draining.

The playful Jute matt is not a bath mat specifically, but I love the way it feels on my feet in summer rather then a textile one. It’s also from Arket, but it seems to be sold out already.  And lastly, I have been trying out the new Aesop Citrus melange body cleanser (gifted) and the citrus aroma is just perfect for a refreshing summer shower.

Those of you who follow my on Instagram might know that I’m in a blue phase. It started with a little candle and then went on to more interior accessories. Blue has always been my favorite color in my wardrobe, so it’s kind of logical that I like it in my home as well. I love how those touches of blue combine with beiges and warm wood tints like I did here in my bedroom.

The basis for this fresh summer bedroom look ist the blue lamb wool blanket*, which is made by Klippan in collaboration with Arket. I don’t sleep with a duvet in summer and just throw over a blanket when it gets chilly at night. The two speckled porcelain cups* are handmade in Portugal and I love their texture and subtile shape. The speckled look also comes back in the pitcher*, which I’m using as a vase for my dried flowers at the moment.

I combined this fresh blue summer look with my own prints that have a more warm palette: The Kamut art print and the Crinkled no.2 art print. I think it balances out all the cool blue tones.

This post was made in collaboration with Arket, who gifted some of their beautiful products.

It’s almost the weekend and I thought I would share some images I took on my balcony last week. I just love the way the color palette matches the cherries in these pictures and they were so delicious, my goal for the weekend will be to hunt for some more of these. Happy weekend !
