Another week, another gorgeous Scandinavian apartment to share! This light, bright home in Gothenburg belongs to stylist Joanna Bagge and it's a masterclass in how to make the most of a small space. It only has two rooms but comfortably accommodates a family of four thanks to some very clever tricks.

Finding the right pillow with Soak & Sleep
I recently read that an old pillow can contain as much as 10% of its weight in dead skin, mould and dust mites – yuck!
