I’m loving these press images from the summer Collection of Swedish bedding brand Midnatt. The color combinations are so soft and subtile. The brand itself describes their latest collection as a day dream and I can really see why they choose to describe it like this.

On Monday I started the week very slowly, with lots of coffee and it’s one of those things that I think I should just do way more often. It allows you to think the week through and organise your thoughts on everything you have to do. It made me so much more productive already this week !
I got this black porcelain set from Arket as a gift and I’m so happy with it. The pieces are very high quality, produced in Portugal and very affordable. I got two coffee cups*, a milk jug* and am using the small canister*as a sugar container. I’m thinking of getting the plates and bowls from this collection as well, there is something about these black porcelain pieces.

When you live in a small space, you often have to use a single room for multiple purposes. This setup can easily become crowded with furniture, but if you do it right and optimise the space it can work very nicely. This small studio is a great example of this. It combines a bedroom, living room and office space all in a single room, while still keeping enough empty space around each area to create a spacious look and feel.
Notice the closed storage space against the wall and underneath the bed. This is a very important part of this clean look, because while you want to put your pretty things on display, for every pretty thing we just have that many less aesthetic stuff that we want to hide away don’t we ? The String shelf* above the desk on the other hand is the perfect spot to put those pretty accessories on display.

Are you tired of seeing petrol blue bedroom walls ? I’m not, that’s for sure ! Even though this darker hue doesn’t really fit in every space (you need the right amount of light), it can have such a dramatic effect. I love how the white bed linen and the vintage cupboard really jump out of this dark color.

This all white space is decorated in quite a simple and modest way, yet has lots of style and a calming vibe all over it. I like the use of light fabrics like the light beige sofa cover*, the light area rug and the linen curtains in the bedroom* combined with the darker wood and leather of the furniture. All fitting within the same natural color palette.
The kitchen looks very clean yet cozy as well and I like the three lamps above the countertop there. The vintage bentwood chairs add character here, just like the old cupboard in the bedroom.

Danish design brand Menu just recently added a the JWDA Floor lamp to their JWDA Collection design by Swedish Jonas Wagell. The entire collection is inspired by traditional oil lamps and is crafted out of contrasting materials. The new floor lamp is my personal favorite of the collection as of yet.
This is such an amazing apartment don’t you think ? The turn of the century details in this home are obviously amazing and do a lot in this interior. The room I love the most is the living room, which is decorated quite sparingly, leaving a lot of space around the furniture for an airy and light look. The build in book shelf here looks amazing as well and the black color adds a bit of drama here, softened out with the delicate wall paper on the small empty wall.
I love the black marble fireplace as well and the dark bedroom has a very characterful and dramatic look which I’m really drawn too.

I love the minimal look I have going on in my kitchen, but when I see a cozy and classic white shaker kitchen like this it just gets me so much more excited to start cooking for some reason.
I love the big windows with the round marble dining table and the oak Wishbone chairs in front of it. The marble comes back in the backsplash above the stove and I think the hanging copper pots and pans look so amazing on display as well.

Are you a plant lover ? I myself love to surround myself with plants in my home and I like the weekly ritual of taking care of them. I usually do this on a Sunday so I can take my time and give my green friends the love they deserve. I had so many plants in my old home, which I didn’t move with me (apart from a tiny pancake baby, which I have grown into a bigger plant by now) and now am slowly selecting new plants.
Danish design brand byLassen just added a series of Flowerpots to their Spring collection and I was lucky enough to try them out in my home. The Kubus Flowerpot is another addition to the iconic Kubus collection designed by Søren Lassen and combines so nicely with the other Kubus products (notice the small Kubus T in nickel on my dining table). The Flowerpots come in both black and white and are available in 3 different sizes. You can see Flowerpot 10 and Flowerpot 14 in both black and white in my kitchen and dining room. I like both the black and white version and think a plant can look so different depending on which Flowerpot you put it in.
I love the combination of the straight and minimal lines of the Flowerpot combined with the organic forms of the plants. It really makes the plant shine and both the black and white version really enhances the green color of the plant.
Together with the Flowerpots, byLassen also released universal wall fittings, with which you can hang them on the wall. I’m still contemplating on where to mount mine. They will look so great on the wall as well.
This blogpost was created in collaboration with byLassen, however all opinions are my own of course. If you would like to know more about byLassen, you can visit their website or take a look at the stylish examples on their Instagram and Pinterest.

Last week I got the amazing opportunity to visit Copenhagen and stay in Vipp’s new 3rd hotel room designed by Studio David Thulstrup: The Chimney House.
This historical landmark, built in 1902, once was a water pumping station but has been entirely renovated into a cutting-edge, modern building equipped with Vipp products and curated art pieces, all while retaining the charm of the original architectural shell.
David Thulstrup, architect and founder of Studio David Thulstrup. about the project: “For me it was a dream architectural project, from the strong gestures of the building to the finest interior detailing. I was encouraged to make it edgy, and with that I wanted to add the personality, comfort and aesthetics of a private residence. I wanted people to feel at home.”
I arrived late at night so it was already dark, but as soon as I opened the arch doors in steel-framed glass, I was blown of my socks. You can clearly recognise Vipp’s signature design language throughout the space and just like their products, which are known for quality and durability, you get the same feeling about the entire house as well.
The downstairs area has a fully equipped Vipp kitchen in black, which was so nice to try out and my absolute dream kitchen. A large dining table (with their new leather dining chairs) next to the kitchen island stands under the 8.5m heigh ceiling, which looks straight up to the Chimney. A sofa area with the new Vipp sofa and a fully stocked design library next to it make for a perfect cozy evening spot.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms (you can see the master bedroom with the connected walk-in closet in the pictures) with a bathroom in the middle. The floors in the house are a mixture of wood and grey terrazzo, which is continued in the bathroom as well. I’m in love with the mixture of the terrazzo and the white bathroom furniture. Such a great combo !
I have visited the Vipp shelter a few years back as well, now I just need to see the Vipp Loft in person and then I have experienced all three of their exclusive design concepts.
This post was written in collaboration with Vipp, however all words and opinions are my own of course. You can read more about the Chimney House here, and find almost all the products that are photographed here.
