Karolina Modig's Beautifully Creative Stockholm Home
For those of y'all wondering if the calendar week is ever going to halt - it's FRIDAY friends - together with that aperol spritz is inches away! But earlier nosotros all accomplish for the Prosecco, I've got i finally habitation tour to part alongside you, together with it's a existent goodie! Welcome to the Swedish habitation of Karolina Modig - a journalist, editor together with writer of 2 fine art books Värdet av konst (The Value of Art) - 2013 together with Häng konsten lågt (Hang the Art Low) - 2015, her hubby Erik together with children Elliot together with Mio. The menage unit of measurement alive inwards a 3 sleeping room turn-of-the-century even out inwards Södermalm (affectionately known equally 'Söder'), an expanse of Stockholm known for it's relaxed, creative vibe. The 85 metre foursquare (915 foursquare foot) infinite is adorned alongside art, a ton of plants (check-out the greenhouse!), books together with interesting artifacts develop against a backdrop of pale pink, white together with grey. I caught upwardly alongside Karolina to uncovering out more.
The shelves get got been placed inwards a higher identify to exercise infinite for the fine art underneath. The large portrait is past times Jesper Waldersten. H5N1 Ferm Living wire basket together with top doubles upwardly equally a tabular array (note how the pinkish wall color has been replicated inwards cushions together with the handbasket to exercise balance).
How would y'all depict your style?
Our interior mode is a mixture of my arty/airy sense of savour together with Erik’s arty/crazy taste. Erik is fond of experimenting alongside edifice projects, rare objects etc, I honey rare objects but honey a flake of lite together with air equally well.
Your habitation is beautiful together with total of fascinating items! Would y'all country it differs from the green Scandinavian style?
Thank you! Yes, I blame Erik for all the materials haha. And our kids:) I estimate it has a flake to a greater extent than ”cosyness" to it than most Scandinavian homes, it’s non really simplistic/minimalistic. We get got a lot of books, can’t larn rid of a unmarried one. They accept upwardly a lot of space:)
A classic Swedish Orust chair past times Staland is made a piffling to a greater extent than comfy alongside the attention of a sheepskin cushion (source similar here). And I spy original Nagel candleholders! Erik has collected them at auction over several years. Originally designed by Werner Stoff for Hans Nagel inwards the 1960's, the STOFF candleholder has latterly been re-launched past times Danish theatre Just Right together with y'all tin buy it slice past times piece to exercise your ain sculptural masterpiece! See my guide to indoor climbers here!
The twosome also honey to paint. H5N1 portrait of Elliot past times Erik tin live on seen here.
An antique Sputnik lite (this one is similar) adds a glimmer of gilt to the dining area. The chairs are from Stalunds (as before).
I noticed y'all also get got a lot of plants, including an indoor greenhouse! Can y'all tell us to a greater extent than close it?
Erik loves plants, I intend he would rather alive inwards some sort of orangery than inwards an apartment. The greenhouse is his tertiary baby, he brutal inwards honey alongside it simply earlier nosotros moved inwards to the apartment. It weighs 50000000 kg together with everything nosotros found at that topographic point dies, but it’s lovely - isn’t it? :)
It for sure is! I also appreciate the role of color - how did y'all select the tones?
We genuinely painted everything white inwards the beginning, but realised nosotros needed color to hap the rooms together. The sleeping room wasn’t genuinely a room earlier nosotros painted it, simply a bunch of materials placed inwards a foursquare space. The color made everything "melt together". I believe at that topographic point was a habitation inwards Danish interior pattern mag ”Rum” that inspired us to selection the colors for the living room. It changed the room completely, making it the most cosy room inwards the apartment. The tiles inwards the kitchen are old English linguistic communication school-tiles (from The Winchester Tile Company).
IKEA units get got been fitted alongside pale bluish Superfront doors together with brass handles (Norse Interiors sell similar inwards the US). Art past times Alexander Tovborg.
You get got together with then many fantastic works of art! Where did your passion for collecting come upwardly from?
Do y'all get got whatsoever tips on how to select fine art together with display it inwards your home?
Try non to fit also much, give the fine art some room together with permit it stand upwardly out. Don’t seat it also high on the walls together with select your fine art alongside your pump together with breadbasket rather than alongside your brain.
Where exercise y'all purchase art?
I’ve bought it at galleries, over the Internet (selected digital fine art shops) together with take away from artists.
Vintage storage has been given a novel lease of life using Superfront doors (see previous). There are some beautiful old botanical schoolhouse posters available here (ships worlwide).
And finally, what exercise y'all honey most close your home?
That it is really ”livable”. It doesn’t affair if at that topographic point are nicks inwards the tables or the floor, or if the slice of furniture has flaws together with faults. I intend the ambience is welcoming. At to the lowest degree that is what nosotros desire it to be.
The children's room is decorated alongside Coud wallpaper past times Ferm Living together with a wonderful bespoke playhouse (I wishing I had i of these when I was growing up, how close you?!).
