Imke’s Warm and inviting Rental Apartment in Geneva, Switzerland

Hej there! I hope you had a lovely weekend! It’s the school half-term this week here, and although my family and I have stayed put in a very grey and dreary Malmö, my Facebook feed is flooded with scenes from the Alps as southern swedes share their holiday snaps (not jealous at all…. ahem)! It therefore made sense for me to pay a virtual visit today with this sunny apartment in Geneva, Switzerland.

Owner Imke and her partner have worked hard to ensure their 72 m2 (785 ft2) rental apartment in a building dating back to 1909 is as cosy and unique as can be. While they have kept to a muted and earthy colour scheme, the furniture is an eclectic blend of styles which include French bistro style chairs, a Scandinavian design table, vintage treasures as well as the occasional high street find (you might be surprised to learn the overhead lamp in the sitting room is from H&M Home – what a find!).

I hope you enjoy the tour of Imke’s warm and inviting Geneva home and it gives you plenty of ideas for your own home today.

Such a charming space, don’t you think?

How I’d love to sit on that window seat and look out at the greenery. Has spring arrived where you are? Or perhaps Autumn for those of you in the southern hemisphere? No sign of it yet here.

Imke has been great at tagging items in her instagram, so if you’re curious to find out more about the items you see in these pictures, head on over to @sonnenetage to discover more.

And as always, pleased do let us all know if anything stood out to you in particular, I love to hear your thoughts and observations.

By the way, did you know there’s an entire archive dedicated to homes outside of Scandinavia? You can find it here, and it includes beautiful homes such as:

And many more!

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a very small, yet beautiful space belonging to a single mother and her son. It’s really inspiring, so make sure you pop back to take a look!

Have a great start to the week!
