Photographer Evelina Lovisa Lind has created a harmonious home where period-appropriate materials and details form a common thread throughout both the kitchen and bathroom. With a keen eye for balance between old and new, she has chosen products from Sekelskifte that enhance the historical character of the home.
Evelina was born and raised in Borås and has worked full-time as a photographer since 2012. Her journey into the world of photography began in childhood, as both her father and grandfather ran the city's photography store. Today, she lives with her family on a small farm outside Alingsås, where her love for interior design, photography, and turn-of-the-century details influences both her home and work.
The Bathroom – A Timeless Oasis
The bathroom is meticulously designed, with Evelina choosing classic chrome details for a cohesive and period-appropriate feel. The fixtures, lighting, and accessories in chrome enhance the room’s bright expression and harmonize beautifully with the choice of tiles and flooring. The walls are covered in white rectangular tiles with a subtly wavy surface and a decorative dado rail that provides an elegant finish. The floor is adorned with checkerboard-patterned tiles in pearl gray and white, reinforcing the classic aesthetic and creating a timeless foundation.
The shower area is framed by tiled niches, and the large overhead shower in chrome enhances the vintage feel, perfectly matching the washbasin mixer with black detailing on the handles. On either side of the mirror, two classic chrome wall lamps with opal-white shades emit a soft and pleasant light.
The Kitchen – Solid Materials and Thoughtful Details
Evelina Lovisa Lind’s kitchen is a beautiful tribute to timeless design, where high-quality materials and carefully considered details create a cozy and harmonious atmosphere.
Brass details are a recurring theme throughout the kitchen, providing a warm contrast to the cool stone surfaces. The bronze kitchen mixer blends beautifully with the countertop, and the round brass knobs on drawers and cabinets contribute to a cohesive look.
A classic billiard-style pendant lamp with shoemaker-style shades hangs above the central workspace, casting a beautiful light over the rustic kitchen island.
