What I Love About My Home


Despite being in England the floor to ceiling windows flood the rooms with light even on a gloomy day. The style really reflects where we are in our lives (early 30's eeek!) and has a mature feel but with some bright colours and accessories that reflect our interests and life together. We also really love our balcony, we grow herbs for salads and cooking plus its a great for evenings with friends.

Biggest Challenge in Furnishing My Home


Prioritising what is important and keeping on top of mess and clutter. Also taking time in selecting the right pieces that maximise the space.

Dumb question - how did you get the leather on yor Karlstad to look so... shiny and well-worn? Did you use some kind of of leather cleaner/treatment dealy?

Thanks for the nice comments guys :o)

The dining table is from www.dwell.co.uk but is no longer available and the dining chairs are Ikea.

The floor is from the UK Homebase, I was a little worried when we bought it but as soon as it went down we knew we loved it!

I use the Ikea leather care kit on the sofa and then buff up with a yellow duster :)

I love the art in the living room, and the "paint chip" art in the bedroom. I might have to try to replicate that idea. :)

Very nice place!

Gorgeous! You are so lucky to have some outside space. The "paint chip" in the bedroom is very clever. The color palate is elegant. Lovely!

Great to see a fellow Brit in here, good work James. Love the style. What's the bedroom accent wall colour? Love the repeat green theme throughout the apartment linking the spaces too.
