One Swedish apartment, two different ways of doing grey

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Swedish estate agents <a href="http://objekt.fastighetsbyran.se/Objekt/?objektID=870886">Fastighetsbyrån</a> took one apartment and asked three talented Swedish stylists to decorate it (cue: blog frenzy!). The results are incredible and give real insight into how to transform a home. My favourite two are by <a href="http://tinahellberg.se/">Tina Hellberg</a> and <a href="http://www.agentbauer.com/stylists/hansblomquist">Hans Blomquist</a> who took the colour of the moment: grey, and made the apartment their own.

Fabulous spaces by Johanna Pilfalk

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Today I wanted to share some of the recent work one of my favourite Swedish interior stylists - <a href="http://johannapilfalk.se/" target="_blank">Johanna Pilfalk</a>.

The first three shots are from the same dining space (what a room?!) which featured on the recent front cover of <a href="http://www.plazainterior.se/new/" target="_blank">Plaza Interiör</a>.
