Karolina Modig's Beautifully Creative Stockholm Home

For those of y'all wondering if the calendar week is ever going to terminate - it's FRIDAY friends - in addition to that aperol spritz is inches away! But earlier nosotros all make for the Prosecco, I've got i in conclusion abode tour to part amongst you, in addition to it's a existent goodie! Welcome to the Swedish abode of Karolina Modig - a journalist, editor in addition to writer of 2 fine art books Värdet av konst (The Value of Art) - 2013 in addition to Häng konsten lågt (Hang the Art Low) - 2015, her hubby Erik in addition to children Elliot in addition to Mio. The identify unit of measurement alive inwards a iii sleeping room turn-of-the-century even out inwards Södermalm (affectionately known equally 'Söder'), an expanse of Stockholm known for it's relaxed, creative vibe. The 85 metre foursquare (915 foursquare foot) infinite is adorned amongst art, a ton of plants (check-out the greenhouse!), books in addition to interesting artifacts gear upwardly against a backdrop of pale pink, white in addition to grey. I caught upwardly amongst Karolina to detect out more.


The shelves induce got been placed to a higher identify to exercise infinite for the fine art underneath. The large portrait is past times Jesper Waldersten. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Ferm Living wire basket in addition to top doubles upwardly equally a tabular array (note how the pinkish wall color has been replicated inwards cushions in addition to the handbasket to exercise balance).

How would y'all depict your style?
Our interior mode is a mixture of my arty/airy sense of savor in addition to Erik’s arty/crazy taste. Erik is fond of experimenting amongst edifice projects, rare objects etc, I dearest rare objects but dearest a flake of low-cal in addition to air equally well.




Your abode is beautiful in addition to total of fascinating items! Would y'all nation it differs from the commons Scandinavian style? 
Thank you! Yes, I blame Erik for all the materials haha. And our kids:) I approximate it has a flake to a greater extent than ”cosyness" to it than most Scandinavian homes, it’s non really simplistic/minimalistic. We induce got a lot of books, can’t instruct rid of a unmarried one. They induce got upwardly a lot of space:)


A classic Swedish here!




The brace also dearest to paint. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 portrait of Elliot past times Erik tin ship away travel seen here.


An antique Sputnik low-cal (this one is similar) adds a glimmer of gilt to the dining area. The chairs are from Stalunds (as before). 

I noticed y'all also induce got a lot of plants, including an indoor greenhouse! Can y'all tell us to a greater extent than most it? 
Erik loves plants, I mean value he would rather alive inwards some sort of orangery than inwards an apartment. The greenhouse is his tertiary baby, he barbarous inwards dearest amongst it only earlier nosotros moved inwards to the apartment. It weighs 50000000 kg in addition to everything nosotros found at that topographic point dies, but it’s lovely - isn’t it? :)


It sure enough is! I also appreciate the piece of employment of color - how did y'all conduct the tones?
We genuinely painted everything white inwards the beginning, but realised nosotros needed color to proceed the rooms together. The sleeping room wasn’t genuinely a room earlier nosotros painted it, only a bunch of materials placed inwards a foursquare space. The color made everything "melt together". I believe at that topographic point was a abode inwards Danish interior pattern mag ”Rum” that inspired us to alternative the colors for the living room. It changed the room completely, making it the most cosy room inwards the apartment. The tiles inwards the kitchen are old  English linguistic communication school-tiles (from The Winchester Tile Company).



IKEA units induce got been fitted amongst pale bluish Superfront doors in addition to brass handles (Norse Interiors sell similar inwards the US). Art past times Alexander Tovborg

You induce got then many fantastic works of art! Where did your passion for collecting come upwardly from?
I’ve ever been interested inwards art, but I started buying when I wrote my minute mass Häng konsten lågt (Hang the Art Low). I wanted to investigate how much y'all could purchase for a certain amount of coin in addition to where you could purchase it, equally a guide for interested people without experience. It is a mass on how to ”approach” the fine art globe inwards your ain conditions.


Do y'all induce got whatever tips on how to conduct fine art in addition to display it inwards your home?
Try non to gibe also much, give the fine art some room in addition to permit it stand upwardly out. Don’t position it also high on the walls in addition to select your fine art amongst your see in addition to breadbasket rather than amongst your brain.


Where exercise y'all purchase art? 
I’ve bought it at galleries, over the Internet (selected digital fine art shops) in addition to straight from artists.


Vintage storage has been given a novel lease of life using Superfront doors (see previous).  There are some beautiful onetime botanical schoolhouse posters available here (ships worlwide).

And finally, what exercise y'all dearest most most your home?
That it is really ”livable”. It doesn’t affair if at that topographic point are nicks inwards the tables or the floor, or if the slice of furniture has flaws in addition to faults. I mean value the ambience is welcoming. At to the lowest degree that is what nosotros desire it to be.




The children's room is decorated amongst Coud wallpaper past times Ferm Living in addition to a wonderful bespoke playhouse (I wishing I had i of these when I was growing up, how most you?!).
