Total textile makeover










Working with interiors a vital part of any makeover contains textile transformation. 

Fabric comes in all type of designs and can become just what you want and create. Romo Fabrics has everything needed for all homes that can become the total textile makeover that personalizes the interior and makes the biggest impression and lasting change. Romo fabrics is a important partner of the event called Dinner&Drink by Jimsch this September. 

When I have made the plan for my interiors and have plan I turn to Systrarna Axelsson 

for textile consultationLisa&Helena that are cohosting our Dinner by Jimsch and are responsible for the total textile makeover at Jimsch Studio Showroom are both sisters and partners in textile transformation. 

At the very bottom you see how the bedroom turns out to be my all time favorite room.  





The art of wallcovering in our bedroom is masterly done by Hernvalls Tapetserfirma with a fabric mix from Romo. A mix of synthetic and natural fiber makes for a more long lasting wall covering. 







Göran & Göran (d.y & d.ä)  from Hernvalls tapetserfirma  is working and I am trying to film them. There are so few in Sweden that still know how to perform the art of wallcovering.  





Double piping as here of piping is in Swedish called keder is here done with a glue gun. 



The window above is before Systrarna Axelssson get going with fabrics from Romo






Seen with the black textile wallcovering in front you see a full length photo of the window after the total textile makeover. 

An important part is how you hang the fabric and the combinations made along with the actual sowing. The hotel feeling we were looking for really came with the Romo fabrics. 




The carpet is from Jimsch as well as the grey pattern throw hanging over the green Foxford fringed throw. 





Curtains are not elusively for windows. The can be uses in so many more places
Love this photo of Helena hanging this metallic fabric from Romo





Unique pillows made easily from the fabric world of Romo. Wall art by Rebelwalls





 The kitchen curtain solution looks so good let all the way down. The textile becomes the art in the room framed by the window. Great for windows like this where you prefer privacy. 






A purple rain of velvet that in this light goes a bit burgundy along with seat cushions in velvet. 






Rightfully proud poseing taking place (all my fault because I demanded a photo)  in front of the headboard constructed with Romo fabric by Göran&Göran at Hernvalls Tapetserfirma.







The textile heaven a bedroom is here finally finished just like Systrarna Axelsson and I dreamt it would be. Bedskirt as headboard in Romo fabrics as well as  velvet pillows. Embroidered grey recycled textile Jimsch pillows make for the softness accompanied by the metal firewood storage and lamp that in my design I am so glad it was finished in time for our first ever Dinner&Drink by Jimsch.

The making of Dinner by Jimsch



Getting ready for our Dinner & Drink by Jimsch, the interior transformation of the studio has totally taken over. The wallpaper or more correctly said: mural ceiling covering called A priori from Rebelwalls only took a couple of hours to take it´s place 

See how it is to set a wall...sorry ceiling paper or mural ceiling covering. 






Decorit, the company that does the job really knows how to get this magic mural wallpaper... or ceiling paper in place. 











To get the Brooklyn Silestone worktop and splash back in place along with the special shelves,  we now say good bye to the old worn out laminate surface. 

If you never heard about Silestone check this






Now check this out : 





At Ahlgrens Marmor you can both buy and get the help needed when getting your stone surfaces in place. 





Must say it feels heavenly to get this much done at the studio. 
This meant in all possible interpretations of the word...

Next up is the textile makeover. Not only the coolest bespoke curtains. No much more!

Stay in touch!

Studio Pompone designs sexy blackened metal kitchen

Studio Pompone & Himle kök 


Richard Bornefors teaches us more about how to use the Gaggenau steam oven in the walnut Himle kök kitchen and serves his tasty finger food  

Arrive at my birth town of Varberg after a quick train ride from Stockholm via Göteborg. Drop my bags off at the elegant Varbergs Stadshotell and get picked up an driven to Himle Kök showroom and workshop in shiny elegant Mercedes-Benz provided by Hedin bil cars along with a group of local architects, interior designers and influencers after a glas of bubbly at super cosy favorite Varberg restaurant John´s Place on the beach. 

We look at the bespoke kitchen production line and get treated to wine and fine finger food. 

Kitchens here are built in good sustainable materials and are made to last. Just look below how these drawers are made. On the production floor there is a load of Douglas fir from Dinesen that is waiting to be turned into a kitchen. You can design your own kitchen in the material of your choice and have www.himlekok.se build it.  





We get into the cars for a short ride and arrive at Studio Pompone where we are treated to a introduction of artist Märta-Louise Karlsson´s way of working in her material of choice : glass. 


The entrance at Studio Pompone in full bloom. 


Glass by Märta-Louise Karlsson at Studio Pompone





Presenting their mutual design kitchen is Jennie Ullman/Himle kök and Lucas Morten/Studio Pompone. The dark wood and metal cabinets combined with linseed burned hot rolled metal sheet back splash is a unique modern approach use of traditional handicraft that I appreciate fully. Designed and sold at Studio Pompone. 


The metal worktop and backsplash makes this kitchen stand out. 

After the viewing of this in my eyes the sexiest Swedish kitchen I have ever seen we are all invited to a tasty BBQ dinner we can see being grilled right outside, served with lovey wines and  seated at specially made up tables set with Studio Pompones finest table ware. 

DJ is the youngest son of the Morten family that run Studio Pompone that makes Varberg a more stylish place to live in. 

We say our thanks and bow to Himle kök & Studio Pompone and are driven back to the hotel after a full evening of kitchen,  design, food and wine.  

I meet up with my hubby Marcello who comes in with the late train from Stockholm and we crash in the great big queen size bed after a bath in the gorgeous metal bath tub. 

What is better than a warm bath and and a bed at midnight? Thank you for a fantastic design filled day Varberg.
