String

Beautiful shelving systems from Swedish String. Designed in 1949 by Nils Strinning, they have a timeless design. I love how light and almost weightless they look.

Ferm Living

Ferm Livings new Autumn/winter collection has arrived. As always some really beautiful colour combinations and lovely geometric patterns.

Simple hallways

White brick

Love this enormous white brick fireplace, such a statement.

Day home

Beautiful images of the autumn/winter collection from Day, shot by the talented Ditte Isager in her familiar moody style. Love the earthy tones and colours of the textiles.

While we are waiting

The new Ikea catalogue 2012 is out on the 15th August. Is it wrong to be this excited? In the mean time here are some great inspirational images from the Ikea Livet Hemma blog. They have worked with some great stylists the last year or so and it really shows on the blog. Some great guest bloggers as well. 

Original storage

Such a clever selection of odd bits of storage grouped together to create a lovely display.

Alternativ styling

With a lot of great estate agents cropping up everywhere in Sweden, Fantastic Frank manages to be a little bit different with their quirky styling. 

Contrast

Love the contrast in this space between sleek furniture, graphic art and old period features. Quick question though; how is that sofa staying up? It has three legs, at the front!
