I whizzed up to our little cabin yesterday over the day to take some photos. I noticed that the buds were starting to appear on the bushes – small wins friends, small wins! It’s hard to imagine that in just 10 weeks it will be June – the month when the Swedish school summer holiday begins. 

Many flock to the island of Gotland in the Baltic to soak up the warm weather and beautiful light. The island also has many year round dwellers who make the most of having the place to themselves the rest of the year. This striking apartment in the picturesque capital – ‘Visby’, looks like somewhere someone could happily live year round. Built in the 19th century, the flat has many features typical of the time including high ceilings, large spacious rooms and wide doorways as well as a beautiful tiled masonry oven. 

The decor is one of contrast – where a deep charcoal and dark wood juxtaposes with white, while a mustard tone fills the in between to create harmony. Look closely and you’ll also spot some gems, including the desk lamp and bamboo safari chair as well as other vintage pieces. I hope you enjoy the tour! 

I haven’t see a bamboo version of the safari chair before, have you? I found a similar one here. 

I love this spot – it’s the perfect place for a little light therapy and warmth, even if the weather isn’t playing nicely outside! 

While monochrome can feel quite austere, the use of mustard / golden tones helps to soften the look and add warmth. 

Such a stunning tiled masonry oven – it’s like art in itself.
