Idha Lindhag for Svenskt Tenn

Morning! If you spend too much time looking at interior design pictures like I do, you'll have definitely seen some of Swedish photographer Idha Lindhag's images. Here's a shoot she did for Svenskt Tenn, a famous interior shop in Stockholm founded in 1924. I love, love LOVE these pictures.

Idha Lindhag for Svenskt Tenn

Svenskt Tenn has a distinct style with a combination of 'Viennese elegance and Swedish functionalism'. The webshop is so worth checking out - if only for the 2356 brass ceiling lamp.....to channel the brass touches in this home above. Any other brass tips for 2012?

A tranquil white space in Bergen

All hail white spaces! So calm, so pretty, so scandinavian. And this home in Bergen, Norway does it so well, with a perfect hint of antique rose, green, beige and cognac hues. 

IKEA Family Live

I love the touches of IKEA too (well, I did track this home in Ikea Family Live after all) it makes the look that little more achievable. Check out the personalised Celeber IKEA storage jars in the last picture for example.

And we all know that if we pop down to our nearest branch we can enjoy some meatballs and mash for lunch too - bonus!

If you fancy a little more home tour inspiration today (silly question?!) I firmly recommend taking a peek at the latest posts from La Maison D'Anna G and Mechant Design. 'Underbara!'

Bespoke furniture by Norwegian photographer Trine Thorsen

Hej hooo!! How was the weekend? Are you feeling as blurry eyed as me this moring?! If we think we've got a lot on, consider Trine Thorsen, Norwegian photographer, and now designer and producer (together with her boyfriend) of timeless, classic bespoke furniture including shelves, benches, wood storage etc. And when Trine isn't busy with that she's renovating her early 20th century Norwegian home. Phew!  Impressive! More projects anyone?!

If you're loving this furniture like I am, you can find out more info here. Have a lovely Monday! Klem! (as they say in Norway!)

Some fab interior photography by Petra Bindel

Hej hoooo! A few weeks ago I wrote a post on the fantastic Parisian home of stylist Virginie Denny and artist Alfonso Vallee in a converted button factory. The photographs were taken by the extremely talented Swedish photographer Petra Bindel. Today I couldn't resist publishing a few more pics from Petra Bindel's portfolio.

I wish I could credit all the people behind the design of these wonderful rooms too (I recognise many from Swedish magazines over the years). If you know of any, can you let us know?!

Any favourite rooms? I love the bed spread in the first pic, the lilac wall in the kids rom and the library above. But all are very lovely.

Oh and before I leave you to go about your Thursday (I do seem to be going on a bit this morning?!), do you remember the Danish home brand, Tine K Home spring/summer collection event I went to a few Saturday's ago? They have just put a few really lovely pics up of the event on the Tine K Home blog, including one of yours truly! Does that make me just a little famous?!! Te he! I had such a fun time.

Have a lovely day! / Niki

The fab Gothenburg home of a scandinavian design shop owner

Hej hej! Today I'm admiring this cool apartment in Gothenburg which is currently for sale (snap it up why don't you?!). According to La Maison D'Anna G blog it's the home of  design store and very cool web shop Aschebergsgatan 29 owners, where you can buy many of the items you see in their home. Dangerous! I love all the colours they have used and would love a 'filt cross' orange blanket like the one on the bed.

Any particualr colours you would go for in your home? The gun metal grey? or the bright yellow perhaps? Happy shopping!

Spring has sprung with Danish online shop Tine K Home

Last Saturday I was invited to a viewing of the spring / summer 2012 collection from Danish brand Tine K Home at their Swedish showroom in Magasin 36, Höganäs. I had such a lovely time and LOVED the new Tine K Home collection. You must check it out at the online shop, if you're like me you'll really like the mix of greys and whites. LUSH!   It was also wonderful to meet the Tine K Home team - thank you Anita, Tine, Stine, and Sanna!

Happy shopping with the danish brand! Dangerous, but oh so worth a visit! Oh and I have been meaning to visit the shop Magasin 36 for ages which certainly didn't disappoint - so many FAB vintage / industrial finds, if you're in or around Höganäs near Helsingborg it's well worth a visit! Have a lovely day!
