How to Incorporate the Swedish Style

Many of you have asked how to incorporate the Swedish Style into your own homes. You do not need to have rooms exclusively with one period or style. It is best to mix things up a bit to add interest into your room.
Notice the examples below.


This room has a traditional feel, but notice the Mora Clock and Swedish style bench. Adding a Swedish accent or two really adds to the interest of the room. Also notice the desk chair.

Here is the room from a different angle. Notice the side table - not Swedish -

but it adds interest, doesn't it?


Finally, a sweet, Swedish chair as an accent. Lovely.
I love the symmetry in this room. Notice the antique sofas, bench, and the painted table. Great introduction of the "signature Swedish blue" color.


Here is a room much less formal. The Bellman style chairs lend a "Swedish feel". This room would as appropriate in the mountains as in the city.

Another room with Bellman chairs - I love the checked skirts-
a very Swedish touch!
The Kitchen Designer
Finally notice the Swedish influence in this kitchen. There are so many white kitchens. In this kitchen they chose a monochromatic palette, Swedish slat back chairs and striped woven rugs. A great look for a beach house.
As you can see adding just a few Swedish elements can give you this wonderful feeling without breaking your budget!
(all pictures, excepted noted, are from Google images, but happy to give more specific credit if they are familiar to anyone)

The Beauty of the Mora Clock




Lovely Painted Mora Clocks



Set from the movie "Something's Gotta Give" - note Mora clock on side wall




Stripped and waxed Mora clock. Though not as valuable as an original painted clock surely as beautiful. Notice the lovely carving. So much personality!!!

The History:
The Mora clock is a staple in the Swedish design. Mora clocks are a type of long case clock which were made in, and derived their name from, the town of Mora in Dalarna province, Sweden. The Swedish Mora clock first appeared in Stockholm during the Rococo Period in the mid-eighteenth century. Bad weather and poor soil forced the farmers in the Mora area to look for ways to supplement their income. The villagers of Östnor, outside Mora, turned to a traditional home craft, the making of clocks. Each family specialized in a specific part: some made the brass clockworks, some painted the faces, while others built or painted the cases. At the height of production more than 90 families were engaged in the trade, and Mora functioned as one large clock factory. More than 1000 clocks, named for their place of origin, were produced each year and were sold throughout Scandinavia. Within 80 years, competition from Europe and America brought an end to this communal enterprise, but the curvilinear shape of the classic Mora clock is still sought after today. For more information go to http://www.cupboardsandroses.com/


The Mora clock has been growing in popularity over the past several years in the US. You'll see the Mora clock in feature film sets, (Somethings Gotta Give) on the covers of popular home decorating magazines (Veranda March/April 08) and also being copied (albeit poorly) by reproduction furniture makers. Their growing popularity has driven the price up as supply for these original clocks diminishes. The gentle curves lend a warmth and beauty to the rooms they are in! Notice the carving on the bottom Mora clock - so amazing! Handmade, each have with their own unique, whimsical charm. You can't help but smile when you see one. Wouldn't you love one in every room?

Kylie's new perfume

Kylie lanseaza un nou parfum - Showtime, o aroma floral-fructata pentru femeia care iubeste viata, senzualitatea, seductia. Parfumul este un cocteil de capsune, afine, liliac, frezii albastre, mosc, vetiver, caramela cremoasa si praline vanilate. Sticla este o fuziune intre o bijuterie si un glob disco (seamana putin cu Insolence de la Guerlain sau poate mi se pare mie). Showtime e disponibil ca de eau de toilette, gel de dus si lotiune de corp.

Pasiunea pentru culoare

Unii fac dintr-o culoare adevarate pasiuni si ajung sa o poarte in exclusivitate. Exemplu sunt cinci newyorkezi, protagonisti ai unui articol din cel mai recent numar New York Magazine.
Elizabeth Sweetheart, designer de materiale, a inceput sa poarte verde cand s-a mutat in New York si ii lipseau peisajele din Nova Scotia. Nu poate adormi daca nu poarta ceva verde.

Stephin Merritt, cantautor, invitat la o petrecere la care trebuia sa poarte un frac negru, pur si simplu nu s-a dus. He only wears brown.

Karim Rashid, designer industrial, albul il face sa se simta angelic, iar rozul este o amintire din copilarie, cand mama lui dorindu-si o fetita il imbraca in roz. Spune ca singurul loc unde gaseste lenjerie intima in aceasta culoare este American Apparel.

Rebecca Turbow, designer, dupa ce a purtat opt ani turcoaz a trecut la gri, care ii sugereaza ideea de curatenie. Pana si talpile pantofilor trebuie sa fie gri.

Valeria McCulloch, designer de pantofi, adora albastrul Klein, totul la ea, incepand de la periuta de dinti si pana la oja are aceasta nuanta. Chiar si pantofii de la Louboutin sau Chanel ii cumpara si ii vopseste mai apoi in blue.

Lindsay Lohan in New York Magazine, februarie 2008

Lindsay Lohan a pozat ca Marylin Monroe in revista New York Magazine. Nu ma asteptam ca Lindsay, care are doar 21 de ani sa arate atat de dizgratios, de unsexy nud.
