DIY: Our first mood board takes shape

Theme: Modern, minimally eclectic, Scandinavian

Colour Scheme: White walls, skirting and architrave, ice blue, grey, teal and very minimal use of yellow. Fittings and fixtures mostly stainless steel and furniture kept to their natural wood finish.

Inspiration: Below are a few photos we printed and stuck to the wall to begin our mood board but they have remained at the very centre of most of the choices we've made since.

Shopping: There were a few pieces we knew we wanted to get our hands on straight away including a light fixture from Ikea, an original Ercol chair (with cushion ideally), a faux sheepskin throw and a coffee table to go with our teal, dark wooden footed sofa.

Ottavia Lamp; Ikea £32 and is actually huge so perfect as a feature in a large room. We've purchased some vintage brown cable to add to the look and it's low hanging over our dining table (pics to follow when the boxes are finally gone!)

From: chairsmith.blogspot.com - Original Ercol chairs are on Ebay and Gumtree for approx £80 + but you really need to check the condition and request the matching cushion as they seem to be like gold-dust! 
Coffee table from the Stockholm collection; Ikea - we found a 1950's Danish coffee table at the Bluewater Vintage Fair for £30 which was an absolute steal!

We also purchased some white brick textured wallpaper from Ebay which was approx £13 per roll and is brilliant quality so hopefully will bring some interest to our attic rooms once we've decided on which is to be my home office and which will be the "Man room".
