This one-bedroom Victorian tenement flat in Edinburgh has been given a distinctive new look with bags of style and character. The smart living room sets the tone for the rest of the flat, with its simple white-painted walls, sleek Scandi-style furniture and distinctive black and white colour scheme. The owners have introduced small splashes of colour in prints and accessories to add a touch of character to the monochrome look.

24 januari 2011 20.38 Permalänk …och fin tapet inspirerad av Pantonetrappan… När jag gjorde mitt förra inlägg kom jag att tänka på Fiotons fina tapet med ränder i liknande färger som Pantonetrappan. Jag använde den i en visningslägenhet i JMs projekt Gåspennan. Nu tänkte jag tipsa om den praktiska sängen med förvaring, som jag fått många frågor om på visningar. Den är byggd på IKEAs Stolmenbyråer, med en platsbyggd hylla som man når från fotänden (den syns tyvärr ej på dessa bilder, så jag får fota och komplettera senare). Resårbotten vilar på en regel på väggen, vilket gör det enkelt att anpassa bredden till en madrass bredd 80 eller 90cm. Vid fotänden monteras en täcksida för att dölja stommen och hålrummet in mot väggen. Då byråerna blir 220cm, byggdes en hylla upptill, den håller sängen på plats, ger extra förvaring och blir en fin avställningsyta för Oboyglas och laptop. Kubhyllor från Bolia monterade på väggen fungerar som sängbord och gör det möjligt att enkelt komma åt förvaringen under sängen.

Fotograf Peo Bengtsson har tagit bilderna. …och så en egen bild på hyllan. Tillägg: Stommarnas maxvikt anges till 40kg, detta gäller dock när hurtsarna monteras på Stolmen stolparna, så det ska inte vara någon risk att sängen rasar ihop om de står på golvet Välkommen till min blogg där jag samlar mitt dagliga flöde av inspirerande bilder! Allt från vackra hem och design som tilltalar mig till pågående hemma-projekt och moodboards inför stundande jobb. Ledorden för min stil är enkel harmoni och jag älskar ett avskalat uttryck som mjukas upp med en personlig touch. Färgerna är neutrala och materialvalen naturliga. Med min stil vill jag kommunicera ett avslappnat förhållningssätt till inredningsvärldens överväldigande utbud. Hoppas du ska hitta inspiration i mitt flöde! We always love to see creative solutions for TINY apartments, and today’s miniscule studio apartment in South Yarra is one of the sweetest pocket-sized pads we’ve seen!

It’s a rental, and it belongs to interior designer and stylist Andrea Moore. Andrea Moore has been a happy resident of this sweet studio apartment in South Yarra for almost four years. Though she’s renting, the apartment was quite run down when she first moved in, so she couldn’t resist making a few superficial changes early on that have vastly improved the space. One particularly clever addition is the Ikea ‘Stolmen’ shelving system, which establishes separate living and sleeping zones, whilst retaining the open plan feel of the space. (Brilliantly, this system can also be installed without fixings, making it perfect for renters!). Simple vinyl flooring was also installed in both the bathroom and kitchen, helping to freshen up what were previously tired, unrenovated rooms, and give the apartment a more contemporary feel. Although it is tiny, by cleverly zoning the apartment and ensuring there is a designated place for sleeping, living, and even a small dedicated study nook,  Andrea has created a surprisingly comfortable and functional home.

‘Living in a small space, everything has to be functional and livable’ says Andrea. Andrea’s style is unashamedly minimalist – she’s a big fan of Japanese architecture and Scandinavian design. ’I see beauty in simplicity’ Andrea says. Many of her favourite pieces have been brought back from trips abroad, such as her ‘No early birds’ lamp designed by Per Söderberg, and bought in Stockholm. Despite the presence of a few of these treasured designer pieces, there is a fundamentally utilitarian feeling here – at heart this is a pared-back, streamlined space, with very little unnecessary decoration. ‘I think living small makes you appreciate how little you actually need to be comfortable’ says Andrea. Andrea has her own design studio, Studio Moore, where she undertakes projects in both interior design and styling – if you love her home, do check out her website!
