Details, last pages. Ett Hem translates as ‘home’, and this bathroom, situated in an intimate 12-room boutique hotel in Stockholm’s upmarket Lärkstaden district, resonates trademark Studioilse ‘homeliness’ and relaxed elegance. The British design studio has infused the interior with nods to the hotel’s Swedish roots, from the sheepskin rugs on bedroom flfloors to the locally designed ceramics and glassware. A soothing earthy colour palette is echoed in the choice of natural materials, including marble and Studioilse’s signature use of warm oak flflooring. etthem.se
