Today is a big deal for me because it's publication day for my first book, The Soft Minimalist Home - Calm, Cosy Decor for Real Lives and Spaces.

Home tour | A calm, cosy apartment in Stockholm
I'm taking a break from festive content today to share a peek inside another inspiring home - this time a gorgeous Stockholm apartment that embodies the soft, minimalist style I love so much.
