Personal Narrative
Lars expertly mingles his Swedish heritage—pale
palette, painted furniture, classical busts—with
souvenirs from his travels (top).

Decorating the Terrace
Apple-green-painted walls provide a wonderful
tropical antidote to the house’s traditional Gustavian
palette, as does the deep Balinese sofa, upholstered in
raspberry-coloured quilts (left).
There are clever, inexpensive details here too,
like the mirror framed in wood and simple parsons
tables, both painted the colour of the walls. I love the
large wall hanging of an horse—it’s a fabulous graphic.
Hanging art outside just takes the biscuit in chic.

A Calming Bedroom
The master bedroom’s cantaloupe and grey palette
makes for a soothing space (bottom left). A Gustavianstyle sofa at the end of the bed adds dimension to the
room and doubles as a handy spot to toss clothes. The
windows have cane shades and the French doors have
silk curtains. It’s the sort of thing that might not seem
right as an idea, but in reality looks absolutely perfect.
