AT HOME WITH MARTINA LINDÉN
In the heart of Stockholm, nestled among the busy streets, lies the tranquil oasis that Martina Lindén calls home. Bemz visited Martina in her apartment that embodies sophisticated elegance. Join us for a visual journey that marries the timeless allure of modernity to the warmth of thoughtful design.
Stepping into Martina’s home is like immersing oneself in her world. As a PR Specialist in fashion, interior, and lifestyle, Martina sees her home as a sanctuary. “My home is my safe space, where I recharge my energy. I want it to be curated and calm, yet warm and welcoming.” Over the past two years, Martina and her fiancé have lovingly transformed their 60 sqm apartment into a haven they love to share, frequently hosting friends and family. More often than not, soft jazz melodies fill the air while the comforting glow of candlelight graces their fourth-floor home.
When we ask what her favourite room of the apartment is, Martina is quick to answer. The living room with its original windows is where you’ll find her most often – working, drinking wine with friends, or reading a book on the sofa. Speaking of the sofa, in Martina’s living room you’ll find a true IKEA classic. The Vimle 3 seater sofa, dressed in a Mini Bouclé slipcover from Bemz, is the perfect canvas for all things that inspire her. Martina finds inspiration from books, travels, old movies, and photos, as well as the people she passes in the street. “City life can be quite busy, but I kind of love it. I walk everywhere and really enjoy feeling the energy of Stockholm.” Outside the living room window stands a large tree that allows the couple to watch the seasons change from the comfort of their sofa.
Martina's passion for vintage finds drives her to frequent auction sites, where she looks for treasures that give her home a distinctive charm. The first piece she selected—a sideboard with a hidden bar cabinet—holds a special place in her heart, victoriously won in an auction hunt. She recounts the amusing tale of her "not-so-interested-in-interior" fiancé proudly choosing their home's biggest conversation-starter: a vintage candle holder, placed in the living room window. “He’s very proud of all the attention it gets,” Martina shares with a smile.
All Bemz products are genius, and the wide assortment of fabrics is so inspiring. It’s so easy to bring new life to an old IKEA piece or change the mood of your home with textiles as the season changes.
Moving on to Martina’s bedroom, it’s time to take a look at her favourite products from Bemz. “I really love Bemz bedroom assortment with headboard covers and bed skirts that elevate the bed into a statement piece.” The matching Bouclé Ivory headboard cover and bed skirt, carefully selected from Bemz’ assortment, gives the space an air of luxurious elegance. The interplay of natural light streaming through billowy curtains further accentuates the plushness of the room, casting a soft, ethereal glow upon the thoughtfully curated space.
The apartment’s petit kitchen, though modest in size, is an intimate space with plenty of charm. Martina makes coffee and we sit down around the kitchen table, on IKEA Henriksdal chairs dressed in Bemz covers. The understated elegance of the Simply Linen chair covers resonates in perfect harmony with the compact layout, amplifying the room’s welcoming aura. The thoughtful choice of chair covers mirrors Martina’s keen eye for design, transforming the modest kitchen into a warm and functional space.
Martina describes herself as a dreamer who loves to romanticize life. She loves spending her time making mood boards for her home, her wardrobe, and life in general. Being a visual person, she finds peace in creating small, curated worlds of beautiful objects. We asked for Martina’s best tips on styling your home for the coldest and cosiest season of the year:
