It’s Friday, the sun is shining in Malmö (for what feels like first time in months!) and we’re pedalling a little extra fast as we move into the weekend. Woohooo! I hope you’ve got some relaxing / fun plans! Before we all hit the pause button, here’s one final home tour for the week. 

Eagle eye readers might recognise the living space, as I featured Tim Labenda’s home a few years ago as part of a feature about my friend Igor Josif’s book Plant Tribe. So much has changed in terms of the furniture arrangement and style that I felt a new tour was definitely in order. Captured by Laura and Nora (of Our Food Stories fame), Tim and his boyfriend Hannes Kraus’ Berlin home is full of contrast, mid-century furniture, danish design (including my favourite Hans J. Wegner Flag Halyard Chair) plants and quirky touches (look out for the fabulous art behind the bed – more details at the bottom!). Buckle up friends, you’re in for a treat! 

I have to say, I especially love the main living room with a dining area, work space and sitting room combined. It looks so warm and inviting! 

We’ve been seeing dark wood in the kitchen a lot lately, and I’m a big fan. Do you like them too? 

And of course, there’s the art behind the bed. It took me a while to figure out what it was – a mural? A rug?  A painting? Nope, actually it’s a strip of Heron wallpaper by Gucci. Smart idea! The side lamps (I couldn’t resist finding out more about those too!) are Satellite pendants by Gubi. 

Read a full interview with Tim and see more pictures of his home here. 

Got a little more time today? Why not look back at the other home tours I’ve shown this week including a wonderfully charming rural cottage in Norway and a dream holiday cabin in Latvia. You might also like to check out the archive full of Swedish homes and small spaces. 

Right friends, that’s it from me this week. Have a fabulous weekend, see you Monday!
