I Want to Live in...Marie Olsson Nylander's Home

Every once in a while, I see an interior that takes my breath away. And though I don't usually like to post images that have already made their way around the blog world, I simply could not resist this weathered and traveled space by Swedish designer Marie Olsson Nylander....

There is such a delicate balance here between clean, modern accents and organic, textured surfaces. And she's done it all on a bright white background, making each and every weathered and patterned piece tell a story...

I love the way each room shifts slightly in palette and mix of styles and influences, yet the whole home has a common thread throughout. It feels like the culmination of two colorful lives without any feeling of clutter.

And I love her take on a home office. Putting up artwork in all grayscales and leaving the palette nuetral allows for a clean canvas in which to create. And though I'm not sure how comfortable those chairs would be, the clear acrylic is stunning against the organic desktop.

I'm taking a cue from Nylander's fearless style mixing and looking at both modern, sleek designs and graphic, international influences for my next design endeavor. I hope you're summer is off to an exciting start and you're letting your creativity flow this week with fearless, reckless abandon..Enjoy!
