A light & white Swedish apartment
The colour palette is resolutely white, but woollen rugs, linens, wood, leather and brass come together perfectly to add layers of texture and interest in this Swedish apartment.

Serene & sumptuous
Sometimes in life, it's little indulgences that really enhance the everyday, like curling up on the sofa under a cosy throw with a favourite magazine or slipping into clean sheets after an indulgent bath. Is it just me or does sleep really seem to come more easily and more satisfyingly when you nestle down beneath fresh, clean bed linen? It's the same story in the morning when you wake up to the touch of your favourite sheets on your skin. You might not want to get out of bed, but you invariably feel more ready to face the day after a good night's rest.
If you really want to spoil yourself (or your guests), Gingerlily's luxury bed linen is effortlessly elegant, exuding the undeniable glamour of silk in an alluringly understated way. Silk is naturally hypo allergenic too, so silk filled duvets and pillows are a healthy alternative to traditional bedding, particularly for allergy sufferers, as they are resistant to dust mites.

Stylish Scandi storage solutions
One of my best ever junk shop finds was a set of Iittala Festivo wine glasses designed by Timo Sarpaneva. Although the candlesticks from the same range are still in production, the glasses are no longer available, so I'm going to do my best to keep them intact, despite the fact that I use them daily.
I love Iittala and I've been coveting some of these felt storage bags for a while now - such a quick, easy and stylish way to tidy away magazines, papers and letters if like me you are hopeless at filing!

Stasis Lamp by Studio BAAG
I'm strangely attracted to Studio BAAG's Stasis pendant lamp. It reminds me of a laughing buddha - friendly, cheery and reassuringly happy with its own sense of self.
This then is a lampshade for an interior less hung up on the formalities of design logic, while still retaining a feeling of contemporary freshness.
Perfect for adding a touch of individuality to any room.
