Ylva Skarp's home

Yesterday I shared here the beautiful work of calligrapher Ylva Skarp. So, today, I thought it made sense to show you her home, styled by Anna Mård and Photography by Karin Foberg, for Elle Decor.

I love the whole ambience of it. First of all the space is amazing! And it's so full of personality and spirit, with a mix of different styles and including her own work. It's one of those homes that I come back to quite frequently for a good dose of interior inspiration.

Emma Persson Lagerberg's home

I love seeing how people whose work I admire live. So, to start this new week, I'm sharing the home of Emma Persson Lagerberg, a Swedish interior stylist, photographed by the also very talented photographer Petra Bindel. 

I was first captivated by the kitchen in tones of mint green, with the mason jars linen up on an open shelf and the detail of a chair painted green. Looks fresh and inviting, don't you think? But I also love that there are books spread all over the place and that little reading nook with an old, leather covered chair... I could spend hours there. And to end the tour in perfection, those double white doors opening to a peaceful  white bedroom. I would gladly live there.

Daniella Witte's Home

Daniella Witte is a Swedish stylist and photographer with one of the most beautiful and inspiring blogs I follow. Her blog is written in Swedish, but the photos more than speak for themselves (and there's always google translation). There, you can find beautiful photos of her impeccably styled home and it's transformations over time. Her style comes from a mix of raw materials (wood, copper, concrete) and natural tones, with warmer details and textiles. It's a perfect example of contemporary Scandinavian style. 

I truly recommend a visit to her blog. But first, here are a few photos where you can see some changes happening. You can notice two different lamps hanging from the ceiling and a painted black detail on the table's legs, for example. And also the different sun light coming in through the windows.

Hoping this was a good way to inspire you for a new week!

The home of...Yvonne Koné

Today's inspiring interior is the apartment of  Danish designer Yvonne Koné. I find it very interesting that we could describe her home with the same words used on Koné's web site to describe her work and design for leather accessories. 

"Yvonne Koné is inspired by raw, natural leather with an industrial non-color feel giving the collections a discrete look of understated poise and elegance. Also, the consistent use of contrasts in materials creates a dialogue between toughness and fragility in each design" 

Ok, it's yet another home interior in: white, black, grey and timber; modern and vintage/industrial...but it's worth it!

Gorgeous! Especially the living-room. Those made to measure book shelves, made by Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, provide a place to keep everything and give warmth and personality to the room.  And I just love the low sofa tables and the lamp stand in concrete and timber.

Therese Sennerholt's Home

Remember when, a few days ago, I posted about  the work/prints of  graphic designer Therese Sennerholt? Now it's time for her home. I know these images are already all over the place but, I just had to share it too.

Her apartment in Stockholm was photographed by  Kristofer Johnsson and styled by Lotta Agaton for Residence Magazine. Lots of black and white and beautiful contrasting details. I particularly love the integration of the small working space in the living room and the lemon tree!

Lotta Agaton's Home

I've seen these photos in many blogs by now, but I think it's worth sharing them too. They show us the home of Swedish interior stylist Lotta Agaton. The photos were taken by Pia Ulin and styled Lotta herself (obviously!) for Residence magazine.

A beautiful and bright white canvas punctuated by black and white details and accessories; graphic patterns: stripes, polka dots and triangles; transparent glass and coloured glass; and real plants everywhere filling the space with shades of green.

Simplicity and elegance. And my favourite space is the corridor where even the fire extinguisher is white and you can follow the black line of the gallery wall all the way to the wooden, little, 3 legged stool. 

Poetry for the eyes, no?

Scandinavian style - Tenka Gammelgaard's home

via Idha Lindhag

Today I'm making a "2 in 1" post. After posting here René Redzepi's home pictures, taken by Idha Lindhag, I continued to explore her portfolio and came across some pictures of a home I had seen spreading all over the "blogosphere". It is the home of Danish artist Tenka Gammelgaard (on tumblr) photographed for Casa Vogue. She expresses herself, in her home like in her art, in black and white, and that is a marvellous thing to see. 

More or less at the same time, I got in my mailbox the 2012 catalogue from Louis Poulsen - "Louis Home". And, for my surprise, there it was Tenka's home again. Only this time it was featured as the perfect scenario for Louis Poulsen's lamps. They chose black and white examples of the most emblematic and wonderfully designed lamps they produce (like the AJ lamp, the PH artichoke, the PH 50, the Panthella and the Wohlert) and placed it in Tenka's home like they have always belonged there. 

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at pictures from both sources.
