Minimal Tiny Space

Tiny apartments always tickle me even though an expansive space makes up anyone's dream house,  including mine.   But deep inside I wish to live with minimal interiors and belongings.

Fantastik Frank stages the best small spaces that I've seen.   Living with less truly is an art and a good way of living.   There's ways of tricking the eye as successfully shown here:

• A mirrored back splash
• Monochromatic scheme,  in this instance different shades of white 
• Focus  only on one accent - shown here is copper 
• Minimal decoration
• Blonde wood tones
• Personal items stored behind closed doors
• Storage under the stairs 
• Loads of natural light

Autumn Season

'Tis the season for curling up.   Temperatures dropped this weekend and it was a beautiful change at home curled up under the covers!

What perfect time for seasonality updates this time of year:  if you like colour it is that time for darker shades,  richer textures.   I myself prefer darker  monochromatic tones, but let's talk about you today.   This new IKEA NORSBORG sofa comes in a rich blue.   Perfectly matching dark wood shades and taupey greys.   As shown here with VALJE modular cubbies to mix in with your wall collage (see more of the VALJE collection here) .   Plus a pocket for those TV marathon essentials!

Floor Envy

There's nothing more I wish for when living in an apartment :  herringbone floors.   But in black!   I think I just died when I laid eyes on this beauty...

Monochrome Weather

Fall has finally come to fruition after enduring long hot days in the city.   Some say we are now in sweater weather.   I say leather weather and monochrome days!

Some folks take the fall as opportunity to use richer colours and textures in their fashion and into their own homes.   For me the textured monochromatic scheme is the way to do it.

Maja of Musta Ovi is a complete treasure pot of inspiration.   I must've shared her home countless times (shown here and here) and it never gets old.  It is absolutely an illustration of what my house would like to be when it grows up.
