It's Friday, and today is shaping up to be a rather nice one! I'll shortly be heading over the bridge to Copenhagen for the store opening of
Pink Rose, who make the most fabulous lamps, followed by a mooch around town and a visit to a few of my favourite haunts. And really, is there anywhere more relaxed than the Danish capital on a Friday afternoon? I hope you've got some fun plans too!
Before I shoot off, though, I'd love to share this lovely Swedish home belonging to Frida of @lillabonora.
The palette has a similar warm, golden feel to Linnéa's house, which I featured on Wednesday, and the good news is, I actually have some colour codes for you this time, should you feel inspired to get the paintbrushes out this weekend!
There's so much I like about Frida's home. The soft, buttery walls immediately make everything feel warm and welcoming, especially when the sunlight pours in, and I love how she's paired them with natural wood, touches of brown, crisp white and little touches of black. The beautiful original details, from the tiled stove and panelled walls to the ornate doorways and ceiling roses, add so much character without making the space feel too grand or precious.
I'm especially drawn to the little room by the window, with books tucked right up to the ceiling, patterned wallpaper and greenery everywhere. What a spot to sit and work! And can we also take a moment for the dining room chandelier? Quite the showstopper.
Perhaps my favourite thing is the way the same soft palette flows from room to room. It gives the whole home such a calm, cohesive feel without everything being too perfectly matched.
Shall we take a look around?
What a beautiful home! I especially love the light in here, and those warm, golden tones feel just right for this time of year. They’ll surely help carry a little warmth into autumn and winter too, even when the days outside start to turn cold and dark.
And, as promised, here are the paint colours used throughout the home:
- Sitting room with white sofa: walls - Lys toscana (Jotun), ceiling Silke (Jotun), door beside the Kakelugn- Humble yellow (Jotun)
- Dining room: walls - Soft (Jotun), ceiling Silke (Jotun), wainscoting- Croissant (Flügger)
- Wall in front of office area: wall, Soft Jotun, wainscoting - Croissant (Flügger)
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Frida’s home. Is there anything in particular that caught your eye, or any ideas you’ll be taking away with you?
You can see more from Frida over at @lillabonora.
And with that, I’m off to Copenhagen! Trevlig helg, hörni! Have a lovely weekend, all!
