Though my personal style is pretty different than Dunker's, I am incredibly inspired by her aesthetic. This lady knows how to mix pattern, texture and color. She makes it look effortless. No surprise, either, after seeing her amazing apartment in Gothenburg a couple of years ago. Or her work at Studio Violet. Or her just-launched Fine Little Day shop, which peddles darling wallpapers and pillowcases.

I like the cat. And the loft bedroom. The rest is not for me.
Maybe it's me, but a lot of that just seems sad. The unkempt bedroom, with what seems to be an exposed old mattress, especially.
The exposed mattress is less than welcoming.
Really? An empty unfinished attic with a bed and a chair and another bedroom with a totally unmade bed? I like the wallpaper mentioned, but that came with the house. Other than that, I see no "design" in these rooms at all.
If you click on the link, the photos are much better. Tsk, tsk on the exposed mattress photo being chosen AT.
Love it all.
The top picture = SPIDERS!
I don't think that is a contented look on Hiro's face.
I adore everything about this place except that awful, bright blue wallpaper. I'm dreaming of Sweden as I write this.
I don't get it. This house looks empty and un-designed.
No way! I looooved this house! I thought it was fantastic! I would live here in a heartbeat.
I think Hiro looks scared and this post may be pulling some one's leg.
There was a reason why starving artists and poor little match girls lived in uninsulated garrets. Even in far more temperate climates than Sweden's.
I love the wallpaper, which I think is what this post was supposed to be about. But I agree with everyone else that it's hard to get past the un-insulated attic (cold! no matter how cute), and the mattress showing. All I can hear is my mother's voice when I look at that picture.
I have to say I really love these pictures. There is something beautiful about the restraint in the design, and the sort of.... laissez-faire attitude of the arrangement of the spaces.
It's really successful because of how she let the architecture and the really bold wallpapers shine. When you have something so beautiful to work with, you don't need much more to make it gorgeous.
