Sweden might be a big country geographically, but the population is small:10 million (the same size of London), which means never more than a few degrees separation from anyone. Interior and graphic designer and I first connected when I reached out to feature her (which she has since sold). I instantly fell in love with her love of art, sculpture and antique pieces – and a home tour of her and her husband’s , southeast Sweden quickly followed.
So, you can imagine my excitement when I discovered Marianne has a flat in Stockholm! Located in SOFO (the quarter south of Folkungagatan in the hip neighbourhood of Södermalm), the apartment has all the hallmarks of Marianne’s signature style including plenty of antique and vintage finds as well as paintings, busts and figurines, but it also has an air of calm, ensuring it’s the perfect oasis to return too after a day in the city. Welcome to Marianne’s Stockholm home!
You’ll recognise this table from her Mariefred home. This time, Marianne has opted for a soothing beige backdrop as opposed to the striking deep tone seen in her .
The trick to creating a gallery wall like this is to include a variety of different styles of art (oil painting, illustrations etc), as well as mix and match frames (some without too!). I also like the way Marianne has included objects.
The entrance hall is wonderfully clutter free – a calm welcome after shutting the door on the buzz and whir of Sweden’s capital city!
The sitting room is made up of a selection of times collected over time including a leather Chesterfield, cane chairs and poufs.
A collection of well loved coffee table books, sculptures and treasures have been displayed on the table in the corner.
What a perfect oasis!
Marianne’s interiors have got me so excited about ‘‘ next week. Every easter, it’s time for the big art exhibition across Skåne, south Sweden. There are five different tours to choose from, and we usually pick one each year, travelling around the countryside dropping in at the ateliers and galleries of painters, potters and sculptures. It’s one of my favourite events of the year.
Do you have something similar in your area?
I’m particularly excited about heading to Norrviken to see – I featured her lovely last year, and her art is wonderful!
In case you’d like to see more of Marianne’s home – check out her instagram , and take the tour of her and former .
On another note, I know I usually write posts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday but this afternoon the crazies and I are heading off on a long weekend to Berlin (very exciting!) with my Mother so this post is a little earlier than usual! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, see you Monday!
