Sweetness and Light

Love how the artwork is the focus of this room. See more of this pretty 1920's Swedish villa on the Elle Decoration blog.

Stable Influence

Love the character in Swedish blogger and stylist Daniella Witte's home, a former riding school just outside Malmö. A perfect balance of neutrals and greys, warmed with wood. More photos here.

London Calm

Today I'm admiring the calm elegance of London-based fashion designer Anna Valentine's apartment/studio—love the high ceilings and amazing natural light. Gorgeous. More about it here on Elle Decoration.

A Clear Light

Admiring this lovely Scandinavian home today, photographed by Pia Winther for Elle Decoration. No other details, though it seems to have been for a holiday issue (as there's some subtle Christmas decor here and there), but wanted to share as it's such a wonderfully peaceful space.

Weekend

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. Looking forward to a little relaxation after a busy week — and hanging out in that hanging chair would definitely be a peaceful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Sophisticated Mix

The New York apartment of Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson, founders of the design studio Apparatus, is a fascinating mix of influences — the palette of painter Mark Rothko, African art and architecture, 1930s modern and more all blend together in a harmonious whole, a tribute to their great eye for design and colour. More here on Elle Décoration.

Boho Style in New York

Fashion designer Mona Kowalska's lovely home is a classic beauty — a nineteenth-century brownstone in Brooklyn. Decorated with vintage and thrift shop finds, its relaxed bohemian style is a cheeky riposte to the grand proportions of the space. More about it here on Elle Decoration.
