I love this time of the year, where all the brands come out with the new collection for Spring and Summer. I had seen the new collection from Menu while I was at IMM Cologne, but it’s so nice to see the products styled in the Audo as well.

My favorite of the collection would be the Rail Desk designed by Japanese designer Keiji Ashizawa, which is a perfect solution for a small office space. The piece lends itself to almost any setting and fits neatly into living areas as well as bedrooms where space is at a premium. The minimalist steel bracket is inspired by the handrail of a staircase and the wooden platform provides a tactile contrast.

I’m so excited to finally show you my new collection of prints. I have been working very hard on these new designs for the past months and am so looking forward to hear what you think ! These two prints are Plissé no.1 and Plissé no.2. 

They are an interpretation of a girl gazing out of a window with blinds. You can see her, but also you can’t. This print is made out of a photograph combined with a digitised hand-painted watercolor art work. It’s both a photo and a painting at the same time.

Danish design brand Stelton just released a white version of their popular Theo collection designed by Francis Cayouette. I think the black is very powerful and adds so much contrast, while the white looks very soft and subtile. I’m a fan !

This kitchen looks so classy and luxurious with the matt black cupboards, the brass finishes and the custom marble counter top. I really like the round dining table as well, which almost looks like a catalog picture from Gubi, as the lamp, dining table and dining chairs are all made by Gubi.

I love a home that’s well-accessorized.  Accessories can make such a big difference and can give a home character and personality. The crisp white floors and walls in this Swedish home could easily give this space an almost clinical look, yet because of all the different textiles and textures, it is far from that.

The living room has an Ikea sofa with a Bemz custom cover* in linen, which has a very soft look and combines very nicely with the mixture of linen pillows in white*.

The art pieces on the big wall surface next to the sofa work very nicely together and connect the dining table with the rest of the living room. It also integrates the tv screen into the interior without it standing out so much. 

The bedroom is the only room in this apartment that wasn’t kept white and the grey walls work so well here too. I love that they painted the Ikea Ivar system in a darker grey. Just like in the living room, the linen throw* and pillow covers* stand out here and give the room a crisp and texturized look.

I got some questions about the bedroom in this home I posted on Monday sold on Alvhem and I thought I would try and recreate the look for you in a little moodboard. I don’t have the exact info on the paint color and you should always test a sample of a paint anyways to see if it works with furniture and natural light in your space, but I think I came pretty close in my match.

I’m very much amazed by the work of Skalso Architects in this beautiful Swedish home. One area of the house has been covered in wood for a light cabin-like look and feel, while the other side has been painted in a very dark grey. The contrast between both areas of the space looks amazing.

The painted hallway and bedroom are very nice as well, amazing what paint can do to a home. The built-in wardrobe above the bed in the bedroom looks truly amazing and provides an integrated bookshelf on either bedside in the niche space in between the wardrobe. If you are looking for more inspiration on built-in wardrobes above a bed, make sure to have a look at this post as well.

I love the warm and cozy look of this all white space. The vintage items make this interior look unique and I love the combination of the round wooden dining table in the kitchen with the white Thonet chairs.
