For my latest home-tour post, I couldn’t resist sharing another beautiful Scandinavian apartment that has recently caught my eye. This striking home sits in a turn-of-the-century building in the Swedish city of Gothenburg and is decorated almost entirely in shades of off-white, black and grey. Such a limited palette would make many spaces look cold, but the huge variety of textures and patterns . . .
Vintage-style lighting (& discount!) from William & Watson
Lighting is probably one of the most important aspects of good interior design, but in my experience it’s also the trickiest to source; whenever I decorate a room, I seem to spend ages hunting far and wide for something to match whatever look I’ve conjured up in my head, often to no avail.

New brass options for Kubus by Lassen
The Kubus by Lassen candleholder is one of my all-time favourite designs. Created by architect Mogens Lassen in 1962 and at first reserved exclusively for his family and friends, it’s a Danish classic that now pops up in Scandinavian-style interiors everywhere.

But I’ve always worried that it might feel scratchy, and I’ve been reluctant to move away . . .
The Lifestyle Wall by Rooms Made For You
Last week I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon hanging out with TV architect George Clarke (of Amazing Spaces and Restoration Man fame) and a lovely bunch of fellow bloggers over bubbly and nibbles.
