Meet the judges VII - Bemz's in-house designer

Our coverage of the judges for the My home, my way: Bemz competition would not be complete without our very own in-house designer, Katarina Wiklund.

 

Katarina chose this picture of herself because:
"Although this is an incredibly bad picture of myself, I chose it because it shows my new "favorite": the wallpaper by artist Elisabeth Westerlund. She makes house calls to analyze what she thinks will best suit your home with regards to colors and patterns. She then buys a variety of wallpapers that she uses in unconventional ways to best suit the room and wallpapers' new home. A mixture of art and interior design, permanent art as an integral part of the home." How cool is that?

Where are you from and where are you living now?
Hässelby, a suburb of Stockholm. Becoming more and more central.
Favorite toy as a child?
Lego. Especially the pieces that you used to make windows in the house.
A night in on the sofa with good wine and a DVD, or clubbing with friends at the latest hot spot in town?
Sofa, wine and friends.
Occupation?
Artist, designer.
Favorite designer or design piece?
None.
Urban minimalist or country romance?
Unfortunately both. Or rather a sloppy minimalist: I like the strictness of minimalism as well as the eclectic touch of country romance. There's something disturbing about interiors that are too premeditated.
Favorite brand?
Ikea, Bemz, mac.
