Colour Pops in Sweden

The walls and floors of this beautiful Swedish home are all white, but wooden furniture and colorful home accessories give pops of color to the interior. There is so much to love about this home but my favorite area is the light and airy living room with chairs from Jonas Lindvall and that gorgeous wooden pendant light which was a flea market find!

Sharkpig Studio

Quirky L.A. based production company Sharkpig have a new studio - check out the cool hidden entrance! It's so '70's bad but oh so cool', and then the secret bookcase opens up to reveal an all white studio complete with super cool pastel pink library ladder among other neat features!

Nice digs!

Wallpaper Wednesday: Grey & White Trellis

Last week - with a specific interiors job in mind - we began a hunt for the perfect wallpaper with our loose criteria being a grey and white trellis design with a potential Scandinavian feel. Here were some of our choices;

'Herrick' by Osborne and Little, 'Kikko Trellis' by Osborne and Little

'Trellis' by Harlequin, 'Trifid' by Osborne and Little

Eleanor's House - Teenage Girl's Bedroom

This is a hard one. My teenage daughter didn't really know what she wanted. But she did know what she didn't want - seemed to be everything I suggested!! She knew that she wanted wallpaper on one wall and she wanted something white tone on white.  The hunt was on.  Here are a couple of the contenders....

Eco Boras wallpaper

Elise from Sanderson's A Painter's Garden Collection

Molly, aged 15, eventually decided on this beauty from the Swedish wallpaper company, Eco Boras, White Collection. It has a beautiful pearlised background with white dandelion seed heads -perfect for lying in bed and making wishes.

Teamed with lovely white linen curtains it is a tranquil haven in a teenagers busy life.

The linen is from Modern Nature and is called Celine.  I decided to interline and line the curtains to give them that weightier look and more insulation in our draughty old lady.  The paint colours I have used throughout are Resene Half Bianca on the walls and doors and Quarter Rice Cake on the ceiling, scotia, skirting and window frames. 

All product featured is available through esdesign.....of course.

Classic White Subway Tiles

Last week we showed you a peek of some tiles we'd been looking to specify for a fun commercial job. We had a number of comments from followers telling us just how much they love them - bricked for a traditional look, or laddered for a more contemporary feel - here's some inspiration for using the classic subway tile in your home.

White Tiles

We've been exploring various tiling options for a really fun commercial job that's ticking along at the moment.
Here are some of our favourites - including hexagonal mosaics, high gloss bricks and creamy beveled edge traditional tiles. There are so many great options, but we have to be careful to not fall in love with them all and try and squeeze them all into the one job!

Scandinavian Mix

A Scandinavian home filled with typographic elements, animal imagery, recycled building materials and salvaged objects collated on a crisp white backdrop. The perfect mix of texture, personality and quirk!
