Four bedroom combinations for Spring

March 3, 2018

When it comes to my bedroom, I love changing things around. When I moved in I loved how white and crisp it was but after a few months I completely renovate it and now I am obsessed with the beige profile ( check here the before and after). An easy way however to change things around if you are tired in the bedroom, is use different combinations for sheets and blankets. And I know, this sounds like the most boring advice ever, but it really works for me. The combination I used for my bedroom today is different colors with sheets  ( all from Ellos quality premium line ), called Neely in White and Linbeige. I find that the crisp white meshes so nicely with the beige sheets, but I have also chosen combinations with different colors for you (and everything I am linking is 20% off until the 12th of March!), just scroll below to find out!

Oslo Bedroom : Final look

February 2, 2018


Most of the times when we see a before and after we expect the before to look quite terrible. In this case I think after the redo the bedroom looks so much more beautiful, but it still looked great before, it just needed a little love. Here you can see how it looked before ( or here very recently and here ), there was nothing inherently bad about it, it was just all white and since the room is so tall, it felt incomplete. A few months ago I attended the Jotun Lady press event where the new colors and trends were discussed, and during an impromptu interview where I was asked which new color was my favorite, I answered with color Space. I fell in love with Jotun Ladys new beige palette and as soon as I knew what I wanted to do with the bedroom it took me roughly a week to finish up the look. I will be making another post tomorrow with more photos of the process, but today I wanted to share colors and the direction I took with the room. Keep reading for all the details! 

You can see how the office corner looked before here, do you notice something different ( aside from the different styling) ? The first thing that should jump out is the fact that the lists ( or skirting boards) are now quite bigger. This was the cornerstone of the transformation and the idea that started everything. The room , as explained above, is quite tall, and while it is amazing to have tall ceilings , it can leave the room feeling too empty. Filling it up with items is not a good solution, it will end up looking messy. One of the best ways to balance the height is to create the illusion of layers, the eye will stop automatically on each layer while the room will still feel airy due to the natural height. 

I chose to create bigger lists by adding a small board 30cm above the previous one, nailed it to the wall and painted the old lists the new board and the wall in between the same color ( tomorrow I will share more of how I created the new lists!). This creates the illusion of a single but quite bigger list, it gives the room an added desired layer while it brings a palatial feel. I also painted the windows the same color to give a sense of continuity, but also because darker windows appeal to me quite a lot lately. The color used for both lists and windows is Space 10678 from Jotun Lady, Supreme Finish Mat for wood and panels. I also decided to not paint all the way up, leaving a ribbon on the top in the previous color  that matched the ceiling ( white ). The wall I painted in a light beige/grey, color code Sommersne 1928 also from Jotun Lady, Pure color , supermat. The color is described as not quite beige, not quite grey, and it was exactly what I was looking for.  I was debating whether to paint the whole space the same color along with windows and lists , but I decided against. I really wanted for there to be layers and introduce interesting transitions. Executed this way I achieved exactly what I wanted, and the two colors Space and Sommersne fit perfectly together! 


So what do you think? You like it better before or after?

Before and After Oslo Bedroom Sneak Peek

January 19, 2018


A couple of days ago I teased about redoing my bedroom here in Oslo. Above you can see how it looks today, before ( photo below ) it was all white with beautiful grey floors. I kept the floors as they were, however I painted the walls and the windows and created new and bigger lists, all in various shades of beige. You can see a sneak peek below, although I shot this late in the afternoon and the colors wont show in all their glory, I can safely say that I am in love with the new look. Even though it is hard to capture with a camera, in fact the colors shine through even in dark, it is really so very beautiful and peaceful. The soft light from the lamp, snow falling from the windows, I think I had the best afternoon nap of my life. Right now the room is quite empty but I did put a lamp up ( I teased about that as well in my instagram stories), the bed with a nightstand and a floor lamp. During the following week I will furnish it more, add some accessories, then I ll give you the rundown from what paints I used, the DIY lists and how to create them, everything you need to know to recreate the look!

A tip for you on a snowy day

November 14, 2017


Ad // Sponsored post in collaboration with Ellos.

Waking up today and seeing the first snow fall out of my window really made me appreciate staying in bed and working from in between my covers. With an amazing view from both the bedroom windows and a hot cup of tea really the only reason I got up was to snap quickly some photos, then tuck myself back in and put my mac on my lap so I could work for the next few hours. 

And since I am spending a few precious hours in bed,I have a tip for you today, if you are looking for a conscious choice when it comes to sheets of good quality that are budget friendly. The Juliette Organic Cotton range from Ellos is not only environmentally friendly, but very soft and comfortable as well. The colors vary, mine as seen in the photos is Kittgrå , a beautiful shade between Ecru and gray. Can you blame me for not wanting to get up?
