String System for Home Office

Last week, I tried to give my great friend Stefania some tips for a great home office.

In fact, I almost forgot my love for the Swedish storage system String.

Actually, it was the solution I wanted at home, but unfortunately, my boyfriend doesn't like it as much as I do.

I still think String System is great for home office, especially for small spaces.

In Belgium, you can find them at La Fabrika

Scandi Week : Swedish Real Estate and Beautiful Scandinavian Interiors

Hello!

If you've ever looked for a flat or a house through real estate, you'd probably be surprised by the very pretty images below, all from the real estate agency Stadshem, based in Stockholm and Göteborg, Sweden.

Stadshem is not specialized in luxury housing (the flat in the pic below is actually 40m²), but selects very pretty houses and polish their styling.

Stadshem is actually one of my first source of inspiration for scandinavian interiors. You'd probably recognise in some pictures Ikea furnitures, String bookshelves and Josef Frank textiles and wallpapers!

I our apartment , the walls are covered by fiberglas, which makes it impossible to put wall paper :-(

The only place there isn't fiberglas is the laundry room... But it's no reason to not put wallpaper afterall!!

You'll notice also lots of scandinavian typical decor elements like raw/natural wood, white painted floor or furnitures, pops of colors and those amazing stoves.

Scandi Week : I Love String!

Hie,

I'm sorry I've been a bit away this week. Last days have been a bit tough with my baby, my boyfriend an myself being a bit sick :-(

This week I'd like to speak about my northern crushes...

My biggest scandinavian crush is String System. The String shelve is a scandinavian design classic since 1949 (check the catalog here).

I love the simple design and the endless possibilities it offers.

On their wesbsite, String invites consumers to share their creation... I love to see all the different looks you can get with very simple elements!

It works also very well with small spaces :
