Today is a bit of a squeeze! I’m home in Malmö for one day – squished between my return from London and my departure for Paris tomorrow (I have to keep pinching myself to check that I’m actually heading off to one of my favourite cities tomorrow! It’ll be my first ever ‘physical’ book tour (I’m there to celebrate the launch of Lagom – Le nouvel art de vivre suédois) super exciting, but lots to prepare!). Priority number one though: taking 15 minutes out of the day to sit, relax and drool over a beautiful home. I hope you’ll join me?! Today’s lovely tour comes in the shape of an elegant, serene sitting room in a Brooklyn brownstone captured by one of my favourite photographers, New York based Nicole Franzen. To me, the space is a perfect blend of old and new, minimal yet warm, sleek yet comfortable. I love the brown and gold colour palette too. What a wonderful room?!
