It’s been a while since I visited Gen – and it’s always fun as she’s constantly updating her home! This time it was her home office that’s been given the make-over treatment. For those of you who are new to My Scandinavian Home, Genevieve Jorn (@genevievejorn) is an ÜBER talented Canadian interior designer living in Malmö. I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with Gen many times over the years. I captured her home office a few years back. As beautiful as it was, it was fairly dark, and this room is quite narrow and doesn’t get a whole lot of light. Recently, Gen replaced heavier dark details with soft, neutral textiles and touches of light wood and rattan and it has made a huge difference! A large white ergonomic desk stands in the centre of the room. The space also serves as a guest bedroom when friends and family are in town and when they’re not, the bed becomes a perfect place for afternoon siestas or a quiet spot to read! I took my camera along to snap a few pictures…
Isn’t it lovely? I seriously could have stayed all week (taking the occasional nap on the daybed!), it felt so serene!
If you’re considering converting a room in your home into an office / guest bedroom I hope it’s given you lots of inspiration! Here’s the low down on where some of the items are from:
GET THE LOOK
1. Studio Paradissi Pebbleface 04*
2. George and Willy Studio Roller
3. Ikea Ivar Cabinet
4. Grupa Arigato Table Lamp
5. Ikea Skarsta Desk
6. Ikea Långfjåll Chair
7. Studio Paradissi Abstract 402
8. SandSnow Linen White Linen Curtains*
9. H&M Bamboo Mirror
10. Tell More off-white Linen
11. Ab Småland Crinkle Sand Sheets
12. Gurila Portrait M
13. Grupa Arigato Wall Lamp
14. Kummin Cushion Linen Cover
15. Pismo Rattan Side Table
Also seen (on floor): Malene Birger No 03 print and Rubin Studio Composition 03
The wall colour is Antique White 1016 from Jotun lady.
Gen’s used the white Arigato wall lamp and table lamp from Grupa – I like the way this brings the different corners of the room together (and there’s no denying that they’re pretty amazing lamps too!).
Curtains are often tricky but Gen found her beige* and white* ones at SandSnowlinen* on Etsy. They make lovely custom-made linen curtains to order.
Just wondering if there is anything else important to mention. Ah yes! The drawers under the bed – did you spot them?! They were salvaged from a vintage chest of drawers that Gen was throwing out. Love this idea!
You can also take a peek at Gen’s bedroom, living room, kitchen and daughter’s bedroom.
Have a wonderful day!
