…no probs, I can sleep here.

In a loft apartment currently brokered by real estate agent Skeppsholmen. It has some pretty nice features this one; a total area of 243 m2, duplex, and a spacey roof terrace just to mention the basics. Stepped chimney, heating stove, blah blah..;) Love the atmosphere in this bedroom. The whitewashed walls, the harmony and the softness, especially when it comes to the bed which might be the most inspirational part. Wouldn’t this be the perfect spot for a hideaway retreat!

There has been a lot of birdcages around in interior design lately, and one of my fav blueish wallpapers is definitely Birdcage walk by Nina Campbell. Birds and birdcages have an appealing expression: it’s waking thoughts of freedom, captivity, flying, dreaming… There’s a whole lot you can do on the bird theme. I’m actually pondering a few DIY projects :) Until I’ve digested my ideas, here’s 3 top ways to integrate this intriguing feature into your home.

1. As patterned wallpapers often tend to be very beautiful in small pieces, but giving an overall messy and cluttered feel if displayed on an entire wall(s), this arrangement found in the magazine Sköna hem, is a super-great idea in itself. In addition, the choice of frame and wallpaper is first-rate!

2. A splendid idea (and one of the ones I engage in) is to make your own birdcage lamp. Though this ready-made lamp from Dutchbydesign.com isn’t too bad either. Actually, it’s one of the nicest I’ve seen.

3. Wall stickers are popular! Being able to create an, at least a bit, personalized wallpaper is a very likable feature. These birdcage wall stickers from Ferm Living look just excellent.
