Oh, I love coming across new brands so let’s kick the week off with Skapha, a Swedish homeware brand who knit and crochet all of their products from 100% recycled cotton jersey! Incredibly, it’s all made by hand in Jönköpping, right in the middle of Sweden.

The designs are stylish and simple and feature in a muted colour palette ranging from white, beige and navy to different shades of grey. Personally, I love the knitted cushions and I’m hoping they’re going to add some throws to their collection which would add some great texture to the home.

You can view the products on Skapha’s Pinterest or Facebook pages as the website is currently just a holding page.

INTERIORS CRUSH | PERFECT COLOUR PALETTE

15 April 2015

Perfect-Colour-Palette-via-Hitta-Hem-01

I’ve written about the trend for nude colours and pastel shades on here before and this gorgeous Swedish city apartment fits right into my current obsession with this perfect colour palette.

It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of the use of lots of colour in the home, at least if it’s not counter balanced with neutrals, preferably white, but I do like soft tones like nudes, chalky blues and greens, greys and brown shades and especially contrasts.

Dark and light, black and white, rough and smooth, old and new – for me it creates pace, an interest for the eye and this apartment has plenty of it.

Be it the vintage Bistro chairs paired with a sleek black dining table, the dark grey bedroom with white accents in the skirting, pillows and wall art or the knitted beanbag and tulle lamp shade in the kids bedroom. There are subtle contrasts everywhere which makes for an enjoyable viewing.

And I just LOVE the pale pink and dark grey desk space – smooth, sexy and cool. All styled by the talented duo that is Pella Hedeby and Marie Ramse. Mwah!

IKEA WIRELESS CHARGING FURNITURE

Ikea, wireless, charging, furniture, smartphone, tablet, lamp, base, plus sign, recharge, style, trend, tidy, streamline, minimal, no messy cables, product design, online, in-store

I don’t know about you but we’ve got far too many devices that need charging and how I hate all the cables lying around making the place look messy. BTW cable tidies are a myth. They don’t work and look ugly! Plus, I always seem to need the one charger that the Cowboy just took to work. Argh!

Well, it looks like IKEA heard my silent plea and designed some great wireless charging furniture. Let me say that again: Furniture with in-built wireless charging! Is this not just THE best thing since sliced bread? Just pop your smartphone/tablet/whatever on the base of the plus sign and it gets charged. Genius! And the best thing is that it doesn’t fit into the Cowboy’s briefcase.

IKEA wireless charging furniture in-store and online any day now. Whop! Whop!

Seems that not a week goes by without a perfectly styled Swedish home.

This one has been set in scene by Josefin Haag, interior stylist and blogger at Swedish Residence Magazine.

Isn’t it interesting how one story can lead to another.

After writing yesterday’s post about my trip to Le Labo in London I found some wonderful images illustrating some of their signature scents. Such a perfect representation, beautifully set in scene and highly evocative. The shown photography is of my favourite scent: Santal 33.

No points for guessing who their collaborator is. Love you Rosa & Rich!
