This modern Scandinavian home is used as a summer retreat. But the beautiful fireplace makes the house also a great place to spend autumn days & nights.

The decoration is simple but stylish. That cute squirrel duvet cover (image in upper left corner) is from by nord by the way. This brand was recently added to the collection at Le Souk.

These inspirational images are from James Merrell’s portfolio. James is a London based photographer whose work has been published in various magazines and books. I recently saw these images in a magazine (in Living etc. I believe) and my eyes were immediately drawn to that gorgeous closet (image in upper left corner).

a typical scandinavian home

published September 5, 2009 in inspiration interiors | 9 comments

scandinavie2.jpg
This beautiful house is decorated in that typical Scandinavian style: shades of whites, beige, and light blues, white wooden floors and wooden furniture. Troughout the entire house splashes of blue are added to the neutral colours scheme. Scandinavian countries usually experience long winters and sometimes sunlight is less experienced, so this resulted to a need for airy and sleek interiors that the sunlight is made available most.

The photographer of these gorgeous images is Trine Thorsen from Norway. Her work has been published in Norwegian and international interior, fashion and lifestyle magazines. She has also contributed to several books.

cutlery made from plastic bottles

Spanish designer Oscar Diaz has created a cutlery set made from plastic bottles. The set, called Found, is made by plating the plastic first in copper and then in tin. The spoon, fork, and knife, have all been made from parts of existing bottles found at the local supermarket. The parts were selected so the cutlery is easy to pick up from the table and performs like any other cutlery.

The design process starts on the supermarket were the bottles are selected by their curves. The use of those available shapes, allows a small batch production without the need any mould. Each set is unique due to the hand-cut nature of each piece.
