Gorgeous space designed by Finch Studio. It’s easy to fall for the bold geometry combined with soft pastels.

Interior. Travel. Food. Fashion. Architecture.
Climate-smart
Beautiful & climate-smart apartment buildings (long-term sustainable) have been built in solid wood & with extremely low energy losses. The use of plaster, concrete & plastic has been minimized.
Tiny
A tiny house in the middle of a snowy landscape. Tiny from the outside & well planned & spacious on the inside.
Small(est)
Check out this cute building. It’s Stockholm’s smallest house & it’s depicted in tourist brochures & attracts people to take a look. It’s owned by Sofie Sarenbrant, detective story writer, and here is where she writes her books.
Decor
It’s quite easy & fun to play around with colors & patterns to cheer yourself up as well as your home. It only takes a few strategic things & the right place – to elevate the decor. Like in this example, with thin floral curtains, a nice grain blue design floor lamp & a plaid.
Architecture
Early morning walk before the heat sets in & the humidity increases. A nice little quiet area with greenery & winding street with fantastic old well-preserved shophouses in a pleasant color scheme. A dream for those interested in architecture.
Home | small space
Small space can feel less small & more spacious with light walls & floors. Books always bring life to a home & with a colorful rug it’s just to sit back & enjoy.
City library
The Beijing city library recently opened to the public, revealing sculpted ‘hills’ &
‘valleys’. The glass-clad building, which serves as the world’s largest climatized reading space, invites nature into the rooms & adds transparency to the enriched interior when viewed from the outside. The architecture reminds of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Slow start
How wonderful with a slow start with a breakfast. Croissants from the local bakery, listening to the radio & some books.
Moments 🥰
Marimekko
Pikkuinen Unikko 60th anniversary collectibles, some of the most special Unikko items ever made.
So special, in fact, that this is the first time the Unikko print has ever been used in Marimekko ceramics. The pattern referred to is the small black & white on the cup & small plate, first introduced in the 2000s.
Semlor
Fat Tuesday is one of our most celebrated food days & rolls ( semlor) are eaten in almost every home in Sweden. Fat Day itself is February 13 this year & throughout the season we manage to eat around 50 million rolls ( semlor) in the country. We have been eating these buns on Constitution Day since the Middle Ages & it’s said that King Adolf Fredrik died because he greedily stuffed 14 semlor in 1771.
The celebration of Fatty Day comes from the Christian holiday established when fasting for 40 days before Easter in order to eat properly. During Lent, one was supposed to live spartanly, not eat meat or feast in any other way, so it was about partying properly on Fattiday.
Park Royal
Park Royal Pickering (that has a streak of seven years as Asia’s Leading Green Hotel) is an architectural luxurious masterpiece that manages to fascinate passers-by on the streets. Not many people seems to be able to pass by without stopping for a photo.
The inside is just as stunning with its open space connecting the lobby, reception, coffee bar & a restaurant. Floor-to-ceiling windows, water along the facade & several small pleasant resting places makes a great contribution.
Morning
Lately, our mornings have started with fried eggs. We’re trying to experiment with different flavours & side dishes. And picking up tips & inspiration from various food accounts – like this one ⬇️ flavourful Za’atar eggs served up with lemony yogurt & chili oil.
Netflix
Interesting premise of Netflix’s new docuseries, You Are What You Eat. Identical twins change their diets & lifestyles for eight weeks in a unique scientific experiment designed to explore how certain foods impact the body.

Korean dish
Bibimbap, one of Korea’s most iconic dishes. The ultimate comfort food. Spicy due to the kimchi that’s always used a side dish. And vegetarian 🌱
Garden
It’s nice when gardens are planned in vertical & horizontal planes. It helps to increase the joint expression as well as the result – and becomes a refined experience overall.
Carpets
Carpets make a difference. The warmth, beauty, comfort & sound insulation etc.
Louis Poulsen
The post, the last one of 2023, may represent the sign of light & hope.
At Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark, a mix of white Louis Poulsen pendants have been installed to create a sculptural element in the high-ceilinged space. Providing an intimate & cosy atmosphere while also acting as a remarkable lighting installation.
Bedroom
Country style bedroom adorned with original timber ceiling beams & luxurious linen. One of the easiest things you can add to a room for beautiful & comfortable living.
Nordstrom
Nordstrom’s cropped organic denim jacket. The Stockholm label’s Scandi-cool aesthetic is mixed with a workwear vibe. It makes this cropped denim jacket, with oversized pockets, stand out & become a wardrobe staple.
Christmas 2023🎄🎄🎄
Christmas greetings from Orchard Road, Singapore. Wish you a happy, sparkling & relaxing Christmas.
Work of art
A large, colorful rug as the focal point of an otherwise rather bare room is a great way to enhance an environment. It lifts the room & at the same time becomes like a work of art to admire.
Christmas decorations
Beautiful experience with the Christmas decorations at Marina Bay Sands early this morning. A nice start to a Sunday without crowds & free way forward for a breakfast without queues. And Marina Bay Sands were truly transformed into a resplendent Christmas wonderland. Just wonderful ⭐️
Colourful
Colourful handmade products from Morocco. Poufs, cushions, throws, rugs & matching accessories that can transform a room in an instant. And with that, achieving a space of pure happiness. All of course based on the colors you like & appreciate.
Oasia Hotel | Singapore
Singapore is so solarpunk. Half the city looks AI generated. The nation is working toward actualizing a sustainable future interconnected with nature & community.
This is in Tanjong Pagar where you can experience modern skyscrapers & traditional shop houses meet & blend in a perfect union.
Lighter
Lighter, soft colours & less traditional Christmas decor makes a nice Christmas feel. And trinkets become more prominent.
