House Envy: A Piece of Scandinavian Heaven

If you’re looking for the perfect mix of Scandi-inspired restraint, timeless design and a touch of warmth look no further than this Copenhagen apartment. The pieces in each room are selected for both form and function. The neutral palette is set off by pops of blue and green that make the white, airy space come alive. Aka, you want to walk in and never leave.

Case in point, the living room. It features a chic mix of timeless vintage like the Flag Halyard Chair and ubiquitous moroccan rugs. The room is punctuated by catching art, luxe textiles and just the right amount of found treasures that give the room personality without cluttering it. Hints of shine, from the cut glass Venetian mirror to the brass bar cart add just the right amount of glamour while a well-placed house plant grounds the space.

This cozy corner is the perfect spot to relax with a magazine or a glass of wine. The leather daybed (my continued obsession – I want this one) and all the cozy pillows and thick cashmere throw give off a homey vibe.

I love the bathrooms genius use of angled subway tile on the floor. It gives the small room a sense of movement.The dark grout pops, while the wood, woven accents and yet another plant give the space life.

In the bedroom linen bedding in shades of gray is topped with a plush cable knit that makes you want to crawl right into bed – and possibly never leave!

This apartment is also proof that white walls are neither boring nor cold. Instead, they set a beautiful backdrop for your world to unfold. When you have white walls, every piece feels like it’s meant to be appreciated individually – from the art to the light fixtures, even a simple side table takes on an intentional feel. It’s the ultimate opportunity to curate. It’s certainly what I’m trying to accomplish in our new house. Nothing stays simply because it’s already here. Nothing comes in unless it serves a real purpose and I really love it.

Book At Room On Instagram With These Two Paris Hotels

Two luxury boutique hotels in Paris have launched a new service that allows travelers to book their hotel room by liking a photo on Instagram. Instead of having to conduct awkward online mobile searches with clumsy fingers, travellers can now book a room directly at either Le Metropolitan or Le Dokhan’s by double tapping on select Instagram photos.

The feature is powered by French platform Liketoknowit, which will then send users an email with direct links to book a room via the hotel website.

But it’s not just hotel brands that will be pushing out photos. In an added layer of social media savvy, five popular French “fashion influencers” have been enlisted to capture their stay at the hotels and post the photos to Instagram, a move that eliminates the need to search for a hotel homepage after admiring a favourite influencer’s vacation on social media, says Tribute Portfolio.

The Paris hotels are part of Starwood’s Tribute Portfolio, which groups independent boutique hotels.

Instant booking is available on photos tagged with @tributeportfolio,#independentmoments and a LIKEtoKNOW.it link.

Fashionista users know Liketoknowit as the platform that allows followers to shop for the same outfits as their favourite Instagrammer.

After liking a photo, the service sends an email with links for where to find the same items, adding another layer to the social media site’s selling power.

Meanwhile, Le Metropolitan is a 19th century Haussmann-style building that offers views of the Eiffel Tower, while Le Dokhan’s boasts bragging rights to opening the city’s first champagne bar, with 200 different varieties of bubbly.
