Cool Colour Ideas From The Home Of A Swedish Set Designer
Hump day (nope, still not used to that term!), calls for something that little extra special, don’t you think? After all, we still have two whole days until the weekend and need something to dream about! Today ‘special’ comes in the form of the wonderful world of Swedish interior stylist and set designer Emma Wallmén. Emma, her fiancé Magnus and their two children Alba and Edith live in an apartment in Kärrtorp, Stockholm. I love the uniqueness of their home – from funky design chairs, cool lamps and handmade features to the fab use of colour. Think pink, green and sand hues applied to walls, curtains, furniture radiators and bed headboards. Not only does the colour create a wonderful thread throughout the home, it also helps to create an entirely personal living space! Welcome to Emma’s world!

I haven’t seen kitchen cabinets like these before, have you? The cabinet fronts and drawers are from Pickyliving (who make cool designer fronts for IKEA kitchens) – and Emma has applied valchromat to the fronts and worktop. 
Check out the radiator which has been painted in Card Room Green by Farrow & Ball to match the bedroom. Such a lovely idea!

A kitchen nook is always a good idea in a small space, don’t you think?

Emma has added a Flos Parentesi Suspension lamp* and a simple set of IKEA shelves to the corner of the kitchen – which is perfect for small, pretty items that deserve to be on display!

The sitting room walls have been painted in Cashmere by Jotun. But the real showstopper is the fabulous Etcetera armchair by Jan Ekselius. Incredible piece! I’ve got a feeling Alba and Edith fight over who gets to sit there (my girls certainly would!).

The bedroom wall and (hand built) shelving has been painted in soothing Card Room Green by Farrow & Ball while some has also been left in plain wood to emphasise the ‘sleep zone’.

Wow, I’m feeling so inspired by this home – especially the use of colour and all the different lamps (look closely and you’ll spot so many in all different shapes and sizes!). 
Was there anything in particular that stood out to you about Emma’s home?
Take a peek at more corners over at @emmawallmen.
Ha det fin!
