Small space inspiration in monochrome

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's the weekend (<i>almost</i>!) and boy do I need it (more later). But first, today's home tour. Following on from what has been a bit of a black and white week, I'm taking inspiration from this monochrome space. Despite being a one room apartment the owners / designers have achieved a spacious, light and airy feel thanks to the two toned colour scheme throughout. If there's one thing I love though, it's the cactus! My grandparents had a similar one and it grew so tall they had to cut a whole through the ceiling (which became a skylight) - <i>no joke</i>! I've been a big fan of these prickly plants ever since, plus you rarely need to water them - what's not to love?!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCvGaGqV8OKIFJ_N9bMDMSxsfaVIRUcYjdkCLXA-MyIxAbAvCbW6foes-Ay67KPyBGR9b5W_3Y_ExbSOSpjih7e_9kTliMe6tYYtBFomoKhfUPTVgCsdmoQuGupI0pqXmLwwWs5h90ZGLw/s1600/stadshem4_opt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The lovely, relaxed home of a Danish student

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love this relaxed home of communications masters student <a href="https://instagram.com/juliewp/">Julie Wittrup Pladsbjerg</a> which she shares with her boyfriend in Aalborg, Denmark. Julie is a keen writer and interior decorator and recently did an internship at one of my favourite Danish interiors magazines <a href="http://www.boligliv.dk/">BoligLiv</a>. She loves to mix old with new and has a big thing for plants, which can be seen dotted around the apartment. There are so many details I love about this space - the black and white wall in the bedroom with the low shelf as a side table, the DIY shoe rack in the hall, the open dressing room. Did your home look as cool as this when you were a student (I'd love to say mine did)?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A Swedish city pad in monochrome and copper

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On Friday I was dreaming about spending the weekend in this<a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/03/the-rustic-norwegian-cabin-hide-away.html" target="_blank"> rustic Norwegian cabin</a>, weren't you?! And now, it's back to the city just in time for the start of a new week. This one bedroom monochrome and copper themed space in Gothenburg is a feast for the eyes, there's just so much to look at!

A truly incredible Swedish country home in monochrome

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I fell in love with this home when I showed it <a href="http://myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/12/swedish-calligrapher-ylva-skarps-cosy.html" target="_blank">decked out for Christmas in 2013</a>. And now it's been beautifully captured by <a href="http://linkdeco.se/artists/kristofer-johnsson--2/interiors--19" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kristofer Johnsson</a> for <a href="http://residencemagazine.se/" target="_blank">Residence </a>magazine. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the stunning home of Swedish calligrapher <a href="http://shop.ylvaskarp.se/en/" target="_blank">Ylva Skarp</a>. Her home reflects her love for monochrome and is teeming with unique vintage finds and quirky touches. If you look closely you can also see hints of her artwork.

A fabulous swedish apartment for the weekend

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Looking at these pictures you'd think they were fresh out of the pages of a glossy magazine. In fact, it's one of the latest homes for sale through <a href="http://www.stadshem.se/till-salu/OBJ24162_1397559371">Stadshem</a>. Taking estate agent photography and styling to a whole new level, this stunning space in Gothenburg is decorated in white, light wood, greys and black through out and a mix of designer classics, mid-century and industrial finds. The result is an incredibly calm, modern scandinavian space which I could move into tomorrow.

Back to beautiful basics - monochrome and brass in a Swedish space

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Back to basics today with a monochrome space. Oh how I've missed you black and white! This <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/search/label/small%20spaces?&max-results=20" target="_blank">small space</a> 'one room' Swedish apartment for sale through <a href="http://55kvadrat.se/bostader/MDE1OXwwMDAwMDAwMDAwNnw2Nw../bilder/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">55Kvadrat</a> is furnished with statement designer pieces (guide below) and black accent walls for a striking effect. Brass has been used as the accent 'colour' -whether in the form of designer lamps or accessories. It looks like it's a trend that's here to stay and I like it!

Striking monochrome in a Gothenburg home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! The week has been very mixed hasn't it? An inspiring work <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/02/the-fab-light-filled-studio-of-camille.html" target="_blank">studio in the US,</a> a Scandinavian style <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/02/inspiration-from-alejandrinas-beautiful.html" target="_blank">apartment in Mexico</a> and a <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2015/02/a-harmonious-swedish-space.html" target="_blank">calm Stockholm home</a>. Have you had a favourite? I thought I'd finish the week (see below) with a beautiful space in Sweden's second largest city - Gothenburg. The guys at <a href="http://entrancemakleri.se/hem-till-salu/objekt/493179/" target="_blank">Entrance</a> have worked their magic once again and created this fab monochrome space which is now<a href="http://entrancemakleri.se/hem-till-salu/objekt/493179/" target="_blank"> for sale</a>. (<i>I know</i>!) I think my favourite touch is the black stairs. Is there anything that stands out to you (the chair on the wall perhaps?!).<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisPCO0pamuyEZde9EZDrX_h8POLW_lVro92rTwMb1wyZOY4LXJBIzooJ1pwZ2lOaCYKOlm5maZzLfn4TxkM-ATrfQxabT34KO84iaoJSmxre91r36_ILgX0SV7ldsuGd_-FID5yIMANvc/s1600/entrance9c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;
