I am in love with that kitchen, the colour is so bold. This is a great and fun way to design a smaller area (although for my home city I would call this spacious).

Grand century-old apartment with a balcony and working fireplace
Okay, so not quite a full century, but only a few years away. This is another Gothenburg flat on the market that I thought looked quite special.
One detail to take away here is the lighting. Whenever someone asks me how to light a space, I tell them my rule of thumb is to have three separate sources of light. For example, I’d have one or two accent lights (such as an uplighter floor lamp), ambient light from the ceiling, and some sort of task lighting (like an adjustable desk lamp). In this apartment you have multiple sources of lighting in every frame and it blends in perfectly. In fact, even when the lighting isn’t in use it still adds as a decorative element. If you’re interested in the overhead light that’s in the featured photo above the dining room table, you can see it on Petite Friture’s website for €885*, though a more affordable copy is shown here.
Understated Scandi-style in a 1930s Gothenburg flat
This is such a perfect example of Scandinavian style that I had to share; it’s cosy, the palette is simple, there are strong lines throughout the place, and it’s all pared back. If you’re interested in more like this, why not follow us on Facebook for regular updates?
You can buy the swan poster here, but shipping outside of Sweden is around three times the price of it, so take that into account! If anybody knows where the lamp is from in the kitchen nook, please comment below.

Duplex Malmö apartment
I adore the character of these exposed wooden beams. I adore the spiral staircase which makes this home. I adore everything about the way this has been put together. Enjoy; click on the photos for full-screen size.

Sophisticated blue in Central Stockholm
Calming wood floors contrast with the dramatic blue walls of this apartment. Notice how the ceilings and many of the fittings are also white. I really love the details in the way they’ve styled this apartment too, with the handles on the kitchen cabinets and the casual bedside table as good examples.
Why blog?
I’ve spent years looking at homes and interiors. It’s something I’m genuinely interested in, even though my professional life is advancing fast in other directions. There have been times when I created image albums and shared them this way. Some of you may be aware of me from my presence on other websites, so why the need for one of my own?
- I own my channel. This is not the same on Facebook, Reddit, Imgur, Pinterest or any other website where my content can be deleted at any time or access to my content can be limited. This happened on Instagram recently where the algorithm changed and you no longer see posts chronologically, on Facebook where updates from businesses require money being spent to see actual engagement, and where the majority of content you see on Pinterest isn’t from those you follow. As these group websites evolve to monetise their user base it’s important for me to build a foundation elsewhere, which brings me onto the next point.
- I have a home for HouseRehomed. Even if I didn’t have my own website, it wouldn’t be smart to just stick to one social platform. Having my own website allows me to share it across all the other platforms.
- I’m in control. When I share something on another site, that content is out of my control. This is particularly worrying when I’m given special access to images from private companies, with copyright. If I know I can delete all the photos from a specific company, when they choose to rescind access, I am in a much better place legally. I don’t expect this to be a concern, but it’s worth having peace of mind over.
Rural house in Lidingö
Nestled in lush greenery along Church bay, on an island near Stockholm, this style of home was built during the 1940s and 50s among former orchards. It’s a really beautiful example of the architecture of that time, and the updated interior pays somewhat a homage. As always, click on the photos to see them full screen.
Light-filled loft
This penthouse is right in the centre of Berlin. Look at that view! The place is kept pretty simple for that focus, I imagine.

An eclectic vintage pad in Schöneberg
Berlin is known for individuality, and Rote Insel – a district of the city – is too (literally ‘Red Island’ due to the railway trenches and leftist sympathies that characterised the place). For some reason the area survived many of the air raids during the war and managed to retain a lot of its characterful period buildings such as this one. The island was home to famous entertainers such as Hildegard Knef (who I imagine was singing about the island here) and Marlene Dietrich (acting alongside the great David Bowie in this video). What better location for an apartment as eclectic as this?

A relaxed and cool Gothenburg crib
Based in a block built in the early 1900s, I feel like this place just oozes the sort of confident relaxed look which we love. The wallpaper in the bedroom, for example, doesn’t feel formal or imposed – it just flows with everything else there.
