Bathroom renovation_material choice

We have recently started renovating the apartment that we bought. I've just orderd all the materials for the bathrooms. Here is a selection of some of the things that we've chosen.
The first item I fell in love with were the tiles! Industrial by Floorgres. I finally found an amazing deal at an outlet where someone had orderd way too many tiles for a large job, so I basically got the Taupe colour at 1/8th of the original price! I had to order the 2nd colour (moka). After that, I found the shower which I also fell in love with. Marmogres, as far as I understood it, is a sort of porcelain created from the left-overs of when marble is cut mixed with other stone. The effect that is created is just gorgeous. A rough finishing and just 2,5cm high allows one to sink the shower into the floor, creating continuity with the floor. Since our apartment building was built in the early 50s, the height was fundamental in creating this effect. The shower glass is fixed, in order to create a walk-in shower. The whole shower area is 150 x 90cm and the glass is 100cm and 195cm high.
The master bathroom has a bathtub (teuco), toilet (flaminia with slim-line seat), stone sink (iperceramica), drawers (ikea), and tap (lineabeta).
The general bathroom has a large shower: 150 x 90cm walk-in. Shower in marmogres (h 2,5cm) with a fixed glass, toilet and bidet (flaminia slim-line seat), stone sink (iperceramica), drawers (ikea), and tap (lineabeta).

Bedtime II - buona notte

 This is the second edition of Bedtime. The first one can be seen here. A mix between Scandinavian naturistic and Italian minimalism. A mix between snuggly cozy dunas and japanese simplistic approach. In other words, you'll find a huge mix of styles and will surely find something to suit your taste!

Nice! Pernilla Hed for Skönahem. And I just spotted the clock in the background which is soo cool. It can be bought at Olsson and Gerthel in Malmö.

Shopping...in Malmö, Sweden.

When I was in Malmö, Sweden this Christmas I did a bit of shopping and had a nice browse in the shops. I have to say that design is much more accessible in Sweden. With that I mean that it's much easier to find design stores in the center of town or even normal furniture stores where they might sell special items. Also it's much easier to find cheaper copies of things, making design accessible to everybody.
My favorite design store in Malmö is Olsson and Gerthel on Engelbrektsgatan just behind Lilla torg. They have the latest fashion design and furniture-wise. They only have the originals and as expected everything is quite expensive. But it's a delight to just stroll through the shop and get inspired!
Formargruppen just across the street is a shop/gallery with a lot of handmade and unique items. They have a lot of pottery, sculptures, glasses etc. which is always nice to look at .
Form and Design Center just off Lilla Torg is a must. They have 3 floors of Gallery space, shop and café. You can find furniture, kids toys, unique fabric, glasses, cuttlery, etc. Obviously it always changes from month to month and always have some great gems to look at.
I was also pretty impressed by Bolagret. They have affordable furniture, carpets, picture frames etc. I have to say what they had in the store was very "up to date": i.e. COLOURFUL!
I was also at Charlotte Trend which had a few gems. One of which was this lamp by Herstal which can be found in various colours.
The herstal lamp for 399kr at Charlotte trend on Balzaargatan.


I loooved these playfull clocks that I found at Olsson and Gerthel on Engelbrektsgatan!
Also these lovely scandinavian chairs and table were found at Olsson and Gerthel.
Lovely wooden lamp that looks very scandinavian and solid at Form och Design center (behind lilla Torg).
A lovely black wooden table at Form och Designcenter!


These are one of many copies of the Random Light by Moooi that can be found. This particular one is at Bolagret and can be found in 2 different sizes. The biggest one is 899kr and the smaller one was 699kr I believe. They also sell the huge lightbulbs and the fabric electric rope in case you want to make your own (like I did.. instructions here).
Some colourful storage boxes at Bolagret (gågatan).

The Sigrid stool at Bolagret for 299. I thought it looked very cute.
Some of the different colours of the Sigrid stool.
A bench sold at Bolagret.
The bench and folding table sold at Bolagret. I talked about these kind of tables in an older entry "I always thought you were odd". Here they sell the sawhorses for 179kr and the benchtops for 695 or 895kr depending on the size. Obviously if one wants to make this kind of table by themselves they can buy the sawhorses in most hardwear store (such as Hornbach where I think they only cost 149kr, or Ikea for 249kr) and then put any benchtop on (you can even use an old door that you take of it's hinges when you need an extra table!).
