There’s plenty to love about the summer – but one of my favourite things is the light. You simply don’t get that wonderful golden light in Sweden any other time of the year – and it gives everything such a wonderful, warm feel.
This apartment in Stockholm has been captured at exactly the right time of day to capture it in all its glory. And I love the way the golden light hits the touches of colour: a red chair here, a yellow flower there to make it pop. Also, keep a look out for classic teak furniture, bold patterns (by the likes of Svenskt Tenn), the eclectic blend of furniture and playful details – as well of course, as the lovely balcony, which looks like a perfect spot for a Friday night drink or two! Skål!

This is the second time in the past two weeks that we’ve seen a home with red accents – could it be a growing trend in Sweden perhaps? Either way, it definitely adds energy to each room!
Is there anything in particular you love about this home?
Here are a few other warm and inviting homes to put you in the mood for the weekend:
In our house today it’s a hive of activity since Hilton Carter (AKA the famous plant man from the USA!) is coming to visit and shoot something in our home for a forthcoming project. I’ve been a fan of Hilton’s ever since I featured his former home which of course, was full of the most incredible plants! So the pressure is on, especially as Per and I only remember to water our plants when they’re on the sad side!
And then, I am looking forward to a very relaxing weekend with my family. Phew!
I hope you have a lovely few days, thank you for dropping by – see you Monday!
