A Beautiful Swedish Home








Our friends have a beautiful home. They have been collecting paintings by contemporary Swedish artists as long as I can remember, and the house is filled with so many wonderful pieces. I love the way the table is set; white and simple, but with crystal and candles and red touches which give warmth and a rich atmosphere.

The home was built in the 1930s and has only had three owners in its history. I particularly love the three fireplaces (one on each floor) and the radiator covers which you can see in the dining room. The home is completely painted white to act as a backdrop for the various art collections.

It's a really lovely, light environment which is very important in the dark months in Sweden. The house is loaded with windows and views of water and the city scape.

One day when I spend more time there, I am going to do a photo essay of Swedish house styles.
