I heart Aztec

There is no hiding that I absolutely love ethnical influences in interiors. At White Punch our collection is diverse, aiming to mix both Nordic and Exotic elements. Now that Autumn is drawing in, I'm on the lookout to add some texture to our home. To achieve this, I often bring more bold pattern into interiors, to add warmth and interest. I am absolutely head over heels in love with Aztec. The  traditional Latin American designs, full of compelling geometric patterns, will add intrigue and a wow factor to your home. You can decide how big or small you want the wow to be. Go for lots of strong and vibrant colours for a bold approach, or use softer shades of white, greys and black for a more subtle look. Either how it will for sure make a statement and add interest to your interiors.


 
 Aztec rugs in authentic warm kilim colours, hang one on the wall as a beautiful piece of artwork.

 This would look so great as a bedspread, don't you think?
 
 
 
 Love the idea of layering and covering the sofa with some funky Aztec print. Crazy statement for your home and easy to change it back. The image above is borrowed from Design Sponge who featured interior stylist, art director and prop wardrobe stylist Paige Morse’s home. About the striking sofa she says: “This is one of the most talked about pieces in my home when people visit. It is a small settee made from vintage kilim rugs. The details are insane. Can you see all those little tassels at the bottom? The throw was brought back from my travels in Mexico and the pillows are made from vintage wedding cloths from India. I love every little detail about this corner of the room.”
I am totally weak at the knees at the global living vibe and story behind this piece.
 
 
This feature wall would really add some interest to any home. I can absolutely see this working well in a typical minimal Scandinavian looking home. The black and white pattern is just so versatile.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you just want to add some subtle changes to your home, then soft furnishing is your friend. An Aztec throw or some cushions, like these lovely coral Tine K cushions will take you on the way to the global living look and also add the all important texture and interest to your cosy autumn-winter home. These large Aztec cushions above are now on sale at the moment and are £35 for the square one and £30 for the rectangular and you can find them in the shop.
 
Would you like to add some Aztec to your home?
 
In the meantime, take care.

Simple Life at a Stocholm apartment.

Its Monday, its spring and we are planning to make life a bit simple this week. Have a lot to do, many ideas in my head, therefor it is important not to complicate things. I think if you live in an apartment like this one in Stockholm, photographed by the lovely and talented Line Klein, it would help you on the way of keeping things simple. 





Keep it simple in a white home, just add a few accessories in wood and black.  Here are a couple of suggestions from House Doctor that you can find in the White Punch Shop



Till next time, take care.

Ready for autumn.

And just like that, September is here! My picks for September from White Punch have a real autumn feel. I love change in seasons, any seasons, but autumn, I think, is my favourite. After the best summer in a decade, I am now quite ready for darker nights, leaves falling, cooler air, roaring fires, hearty stews and lots and lots of candles. Here are some autumn inspiration pictures and my picks from the shop.

July Picks at White Punch

Finally the long awaited summer is here for real in the UK. Hurray! We had a mini heat wave here last weekend and are expecting another one in the next few days. The kids have broken up from school and we are enjoying every moment as we never know how long this beautiful spell will last. Here are my picks from White Punch that I think are very suited for the month of July:)


*Straw Basket with leather handles from Tine K Home is the ultimate summer accessory. It is very spacious and has room for everything you need for the beach, picnics, friends BBQ or any other fun filled summer activity:) Can also be used as a storage bag around the house. *Showcase some beautiful summer flowers in one of these Vases from House Doctor DK. *We love these Fringed Towel Ponchos from Tine K Home. *July is the time for entertaining, so why not serve up some delicious summer dishes on this beautiful Marble Serving Board from HK Living.


Till next time, -take care!

Internal Steel Windows

I love the look of internal windows. Especially the steel ones you would normally find in old factory buildings. It probably stems from my unfulfilled dream of loft living :) I really like the character it adds to a room as well as being transparent and letting the light come through. Win win I would say.

Sneak Peak

I am in love......

I am sitting here finalizing our order to the fabulous Danish brand House Doctor. Decisions decisions.....I am so spoilt for choice! I have been a big fan for a long time, marvelling over their unique products in shops back home in Norway, where they have been established since their beginning, some 12 years ago. Their style is provocative, personal and informal. I think their products have a strong industrial vibe, but with a kind of soft touch. They are experts in being a step ahead of trends and their mantra is to mix elements, rather than matching them, just what White PUNCH is trying to create. Here are some more inspirational pictures from their Spring/Summer catalogue. Enjoy!

I could live here...

I totally love this apartment! When I first saw this in the Danish edition of Elle Decoration, I ripped it straight out and put it in my dream house folder. This place belongs to the talented designer Yvonne Koné and shoot by the equally gifted photographer Line Klein. If I were to sum up this stunning home, it would be that it has a beautiful simplicity with an earthy depth, a look that is very hard to pull off. I will let the photos do the talking, enjoy! Amazingly styled by Stine Langvad.
