This lovely Swedish home reminds me of the beautiful words by Leonard Koren: “Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry.” Located on St Knuts Torg, a relaxed, ‘mysig‘ (cosy) and hip square in Malmö, Hannah Ingelsten has taken a minimalist approach to her apartment, furnishing it with only items she needs and loves. Think vintage furniture, handmade stoneware and layers of natural textures against a backdrop of rich, chocolate tones. Granted these are snapshots rather than full room shots, I hope you can still get an idea of Hannah’s cosy haven on a cold Southern Sweden day. Välkommen in!

Hannah has kitted out the kitchen with IKEA cabinets and sink, spruced up with traditional brass fittings. 

Patterned linen gives the dining table a lift in the open-plan living space. This striped tablecloth from Lovely Linen (who are offering 20% off with code myscandinavianhome until 21st march, 2021!) is similar – and this striped one* is also pretty. 

We all know TV inspiration can be few and far between on MSH (sorry!) – so I’m excited to include this snapshot of Hannah’s – which rests on wall mounted shelves. I particularly love how an old dough bowl has been used to store extra cushions (this rustic handcrafted one is beautiful!) underneath. 

In the living room area, an IKEA Karlstad sofa with stocksund legs has been dressed in a Panama cotton cover in Sage Brown* from Bemz. 

The bedroom wall has been painted in ecological ‘Granite Stone’ from Byggfabriken – such a cosy shade! A single print: ‘Reading’ By Fine Little Day* has been hung on the wall beside a dry floral wreath, 

The pretty ‘frilly’ bedding is from online Swedish store Ellos. 

A simple hanging clothes rail* has been installed in lieu of a wardrobe, while a smaller vintage cupboard houses more clothes.

I’m busy preparing for a photoshoot in my kitchen this afternoon. It takes a little extra work as my kids were obviously in a hurry when they left for school this morning. There’s breakfast stuff everywhere *rolls eyes*! If only it looked like this set-up in Hannah’s home, I’d be all ready to go:
