AD | In collaboration with Habitat When we first moved into our home five years ago… Yes it’s been five years! I thought we would be a lot further on than what we are. Oh, how naive I was. Little did I know how expensive the cost of renovating is and all our big plans slowly faded away because the cost involved did not meet our budget. So in today’s post, I’ve partnered with Habitat to share some insights into some things that have helped. We always envisioned adding an extension to the back of the house, we do still plan to do this, but just now our focus is on renovating the loft and adding ..read more

Glogauer Strasse 4 Today I want to talk about our homes. We all want to create beautiful homes that are special to us but we don’t always have the time to finish projects that we have started and sometimes rooms are incomplete. So when I was first introduced to Pepper Sq I was intrigued with the concept and what they promise to their customers. The Stable House by Frama G The concept is around spacemaking and letting your imagination show you the limitless possibilities in transforming your room.  Pepper Sq is there to help you and guide you along the way from the first decisions to the l ..read more

We all love to upgrade and update our homes now and again. Every so often it can be great for us to carry out a fun project in the home to spruce it up and make it look and feel fresh.

If anyone has been through home renovations or are in the middle of them,  know that this can be a testing time and can be pretty stressful. Although we love the results, it doesn’t mean that we enjoy the process of covering our homes in dust and having to change our daily routines completely. Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to make the process easier on everyone. Plan ahead Depending on which room is being renovated, you might have to make other plans to go about your daily routine for a few weeks. If you’re having a kitchen renovation from a kitchen company, then it’s pro ..read more

It has been a while since I posted anything current from Lotta Agaton – now Lotta Agaton Interiors but the other day when I was scrolling through my Pinterest I noticed some beautiful interior images from a recent project. What struck me the most was how sophisticated and timeless the apartment looked and that I wouldn’t mind packing up all my stuff and moving right in. The apartment is situated in Stockholm and was designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and interiors designed by Lotta Agaton Interior for Oscar Properties creating 79 & Park. These residential apartments are inspire ..read more

I love my loose fit covers from Bemz. Just the other day Rufus (our cockapoo) jumped up full of mud and the armchair was covered in dirt. I quickly striped the covers off and popped them in the machine. So when I was checking my emails this morning I saw that Bemz are expanding their loose fit collection with new fabrics. I couldn’t help but share because out of all the covers the loose fit are my favourite. The new collection includes a curated palette of velvet and linen blends for a little bit of everyday luxury. The Loose Fit style includes IKEA models such as Ektorp, Karlstad, Söderha ..read more

I am sure that we are all familiar with the brand BoConcept. When I think of the brand I often think of the beautiful sofas and storage furniture but forget they also do accessories. When you’re adding pieces of furniture to your home you often forget about the small elements that make the biggest impact. One of my favourite things to do when a brand launches their new collection is look at their accessories. You can find some great pieces, from new ceramics to lovely cushion or a simple throw, quickly updating a room in your home. For spring/summer 2019 BoConcept have launched a new colle ..read more

It’s coming to that time of year again when I want to give my home a spring clean. A few little changes and updates can make all the difference and give it a new lease of life. You don’t need to redecorate the whole place, add a few little touches, some new, and unique accessories and you could admire your home all over again. A Fresh Coat Of Paint A lick of paint can make a world of difference to any room. Whether it’s a new colour or even just a fresh coat of the old one, it will brighten up your room and make it feel fresh again. I’m not sure if it’s because I look at interiors all day, eve ..read more

I have spoken many times on here about Bemz and their collection of sofa covers – I’ve had our Karlstad sofa for over seven years (maybe longer) it has done us well and I think that’s partly due to having the options to revamp and change the covers. The sofa has stood the test of time but it is time now to part ways as I have a lovely new sofa coming. Our living room isn’t large in size but I’ve made full use of the living room space with a 3 seater sofa and a recent new addition the Söderhamn armchair. All the seating helps when guests come over to visit! One of my favourite things to do wh ..read more

Every year I say I am going to attend the Stockholm Furniture fair and my plans never seem to quite work out… There is always next year and maybe if I start planning just now it might happen. So this week I am just going to sit and admire the fair from my Instagram timeline and take notes on anything new and exciting. Already and I think its only day two, I’ve seen loads of new product launches and inspiration. One thing that’s grabbed my attention is the Swedish brand Lintex, I remember seeing their stand at Maison et Objet showing a framed writing board and fell in love with the styling fro ..read more
