A classically styled Stockholm home

November 7, 2017 rhubarbgreenLeave a comment

I’ve been away in Vienna this week. A friend of mine got a job in the diplomat sphere that goes on there (a lot of international organisations known by their acronyms – (OPEC, IAEA, OSCE …) so we were celebrating. And Vienna’s fun in a calm way; plenty of nice cafes, museums, vintage clothes markets, and so on.

But enough about Austria. This week’s home tour is again in the scandi-style capital of Stockholm. It’s much more classically styled than usual, but isn’t fussy or pastiche. I appreciate the simplicity it’s offering. You can also explore the home’s neighbourhood if you’re interested.

This Swedish apartment effortlessly nails the millennial pink trend

October 29, 2017 rhubarbgreen2 Comments

If you’ve got an Instagram account, you’ve probably seen the hype around this colour. Some people call it ‘rose quartz’ or ‘scandi pink’. Some might say there’s scientific evidence of it having a calming effect. From Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, to high fashion, the soft rosy shade was called the colour of the moment for the Tumblr generation.

I’m back to Scandinavia this week to peek inside this Stockholm flat that takes the trend and puts it in a simple, pared back, domestic setting. No chandeliers or overindulgence. Just a nice looking apartment with a small balcony.

A great concept out of an awkward space

Seeing these photos you might be forgiven for thinking that they are from a high-end luxury spa or hotel. Think again. This is the work of Claesson Koivisto Rune architects, built in the top floor of a historic (1800s) Stockholm building. You can see a video of the space here. I like how it’s decorated, quite simply, but in a contemporary style. This gives the architectural features some space to show off.

A Swedish home with a social focus

May 22, 2017October 22, 2017 rhubarbgreenLeave a comment

This week has been busy, and all the people I’ve been talking to recently have the same impression. Has the good weather inspired a social zeal in my city? Or is this a universal effect of Summer coming? I’ve always been quite introverted though, so meeting a lot of people in quick succession has left me exhausted this Monday morning. A friend sent me this music video to help decompress, and it’s soothing. This week isn’t going to be any quieter, so maybe it’s best I ask for a day off work?

Anyway, this is the reason I chose this apartment from Nooks, because I feel like it’s a very social space. The space that connects the kitchen to the living room was actually opened up, and then shelves were put in between the supporting pillars. It does look stylish, but the reason the owner did this was to be more social and connect the rooms together more for when he had guests over. Max, the owner, also said:

“In the vast majority of home decorating, we focused on the TV, but here in the living room, I wanted instead to the social would be central. The same applies to the dinner table, I chose a round table in order to be able to keep up more with each other. ”

It’s been a busy week for me, and Spring having sprung, I’m sure it’s busy for everyone else too. Take a five minute break and look at this hip home from Nooks.

This feels so calm. I’ve had a busy weekend and it’s nice to sit back on Sunday evening and appreciate something like this. Hope you find this apartment from Nooks peaceful too!

Those funky boxes hold some Pukka tea. Not much better than your standard herbal tea at a supermarket, but the boxes look nice and they’re exactly the kind of brand I’d expect of the kind of person who’d live here.

These kind of handles are really in right now. I wonder if this is just a fad or will it last? Either way, cheap to replace.

Not a great idea to light a candle next to a window. Looks nice though.

A home isn’t complete without a mood board! (on the left below)

This is another from Stockholm, I really like how the place manages to make casual look so cool. If I could change something, I would have more accents like the yellow pillow and pink chest of drawers.

The colours in this bedroom are on point. Also, see the frames above the door in the centre.

This ceiling light is too cool.

A 19th century apartment with original features

March 20, 2017March 20, 2017 rhubarbgreen1 Comment

This is a show-stopping loft in central Stockholm. Built in the 1800s, the original flooring and beams are still in, and exposed. It’s currently available on Nooks.se and is one of the most viewed properties there. I like it, even though it doesn’t follow my personal style. If I were to move in (which probably means winning the lottery) I’d add a tonne of soft furnishings – throws, pillows, and even more rugs than they already have.

The bright reds really work well with the exposed dark wood.

Somehow the bamboo sticks in the vase work? I would never have guessed.

Such a spacious shower. I love showers with high ceilings.

Most people hide away their washer/dryer. Here they seem to have made it into a statement piece. Love. it.

Once again I’m including the floor plan here.

A bright and spacious split-level studio

Following on from last week’s Friday roundup, I was looking at tiny homes and studios. This ground floor studio from FantasticFrank caught my eye. There’s blush colours on a very white backdrop. This isn’t me posting Monday’s regular tour, but it’s a bonus for the weekend as I couldn’t wait to share! Scroll down right to the bottom for a new feature also 😉

The cool shelves in the upper left can be found here, and the poster of New York is by David Ehrenstråhle which you can buy from his website.

I really want to know where to get that globe light. In the meantime, I bought something similar recently (at least with the base), check it out here.

You can find the pendant here. All this black makes such a bold contrast.

I’m also trying something new this week. I’ve noticed that most websites don’t share the floorplan of their home tours so I’ll be doing just that as an experiment. Let me know in the comments if you think this is useful. I don’t believe, given the pictures above, that the labels below need translation.

International styled house in Fridhem

The wood in this house is a treat, and that ceiling height is to die for. If I had to sum up this house in three words based on its aesthetic, it would be ‘clean lines, solid edges’; you can see for yourself below.

I have one complaint with this place, and it’s nothing to do with the interior. It’s that the apartment is on the ground floor (you might be able to see a car through the living room window). Otherwise, it’s nicely set up and has a very classic look.

Studio in Sweden with snazzy kitchen and fittings

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).

Understated Scandi-style in a 1930s Gothenburg flat

January 24, 2017March 14, 2017 rhubarbgreen1 Comment

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.

rimage-5 — Does anybody know where this lamp is from?

rimage-6 — The herbs in the kitchen really add to the mood.

rimage-10 — I wonder what records they play!

rimage-18 — The exterior; the flat’s balcony is to the back of this building.

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.
