A brand new, shiny year is laid out in front of us. At EcoSalon, this means a fresh start and a clean slate. This week we will be serving up handfuls of home tours full of style and charisma.

Two of my favorite artists have collaborated to create a space that easily defines my aesthetic inspiration for 2011. Pia Ulin lends her talented lens to capture this space perfectly styled by stylist Lotta Agaton (for Swedish magazine Elle Interiör). These brilliant Scandinavian ladies have sculpted a space where monochromatic isn’t boring. Supple grays and rich materials provide an immaculate slate of crisp, clean inspiration.

It isn’t often that stark modernism and clean lines conspire into such warmth. The Eames chairs framing the dining table and typographical artwork dancing on the dining room walls is almost as charming as the eclectic collection of chairs in the kitchen.

The wire globe floating over the living room leaves the space in perfect balance.

The vignettes sprinkled throughout this home are the mark of Lotta Agaton’s pure, simple, and flawless styling. I have perused her portfolio and cannot seem to find a single blemish. In my mind, Lotta can do no wrong (her blog is an endless stream of priceless inspiration).

This glimpse of metallic typography, an industrial light bulb, pristine white, and a few leaves is gorgeous.

If negative space and monochromatic musings aren’t your style, stay tuned. Tomorrow we’ll serve up a whimsical bohemian space bursting with color.
