most interesting swedish decor blog

Posted on 2011/06/07 by Mia in Animal heads, Bathroom, Blogs etc, Childrens rooms, Dark Painted Walls, fifties retro, Frame Groupings, scandinavian

In the meantime, while Trendey sisters focus on their regular careers & professions, we have the greatest blog tips for you: Dos family. As always, you might already know all about it, but if not: this is a blog by decorator (slash designer, columnist, TV-presenter, etc)  Isabelle Halling McAllister and photographer Jenny Brandt (who also has the sammy rose blog + shop) The lovely pics above are shot by Jenny at Isabelle’s. I think the black wall display is fabulous! And there’s loads of more inspiration on playful and charming kids’ rooms (like the one right) on their site. It’s undoable (and unnecessary) to define their interior style tastes, but I’d summarize it Happy Scandinavian :) Clearly creative, retro, personal, arty, homey, free-spirited and fun. Below is a really nice example of a ‘Dos Visit’, photographer Jenny Brandt visits Lisa Grue’s home. More of this lovely retro charm can be found here.

I think these two rooms below are very interesting! The decor is simple, yet the Josef Frank wallpaper looks nicer than ever together with the retro/vintage caramel sofa. The bathroom could have been downright boring but the pink pastel door (and a photo display or something hidden behind it) and the orange rug on the grey patterned floor is ‘all it takes’ to give the place some interesting character.

Now, lastly, I will join DosFamily’s upcoming blog battle – no idea what it will be about, but I will take the challenge :)

    Sounds great Lilly – want to point in the very best directions while we’re gone/busy here :)

    Agree! There’s lots more nice kids rooms to view. Finally I found a place that’s not totally gender-biased like the rest of the decor bogging crowd! Swedish interior design blogs are really the best :)

    The picture of Mona Lisa looks good on that wall. I like the creativity that you have implemented. I think if you used an HD camera to take shots it would have look even nicer!
