We know that a good nights sleep is so important for all the reasons. Daily stresses, life problems and an overactive mind can get in the way of a good nights sleep, but you can minimise this by creating the right environment. A bedroom that is calm and cosy will go a long way to…
For the latest home tour, I’ve got this cosy minimalist home in Malmo, Sweden. It’s the simplicity of this home that makes it so striking. Measuring just over 500 sq ft (50 sqm), it’s a small one bedroom apartment. Despite this, it looks spacious and bright because it has been decorated simply and in soft,…
It’s often the small details that bring a room to life. One of my favourite ways to add little details are with sculptural vases. Sculptural vases can be found everywhere at the moment and there are loads of designs to choose from. Sculptural vases are, well… like mini sculptures. They look just as beautiful without…
I love white, especially white walls. Every time I start thinking about painting my walls a different colour, I get cold feet and stick to white. As much as I love white, it can look a bit too stark or clinical all on it’s own. A little bit of contrast actually makes white pop more. …
Nothing says cosy quite like a few candles flickering away in a room, especially in the colder months. I don’t think I could survive winter — actually make that winter, spring and autumn — without candles. I light them in every room from the kitchen to the entryway and of course in my outdoor space…
Often when I have friends over, I don’t bother to set the table with individual place settings. Instead, I just pile up everything to keep it simple and informal. If it’s an occasion like Christmas or Easter then I will go a bit more formal but otherwise it’s all about effortless simplicity. Even when it’s…
For your latest home tour, I’ve got this small monochrome home in Stockholm, Sweden. When I say small, I do mean small as it measures just 440 sq ft (42 sqm). Compact as it is, there is no compromise here in design, space or practicality. But that’s whats the Scandi’s do best — make the…
Kitchens are expensive. Even budget kitchens are costly once you add up all the costs of everything involved in a complete kitchen revamp. Having a few renos under my belt, I know it’s always the kitchen that costs more than the rest of the house, put together. Luckily there are other ways to update an…
Green is a timeless wall colour. You’ll never tire of it and it won’t ever look dated. I’m not talking bright greens here of course, but pale, soft, saturated and muted greens that add calm and warmth to a room. Green also works so well with all other neutrals like white, beige, grey and black….
Are you a fan of gallery walls? Done right, they can add a lot of interest to a room. I love them as long as they’re minimal and simple. If overdone, they can end up making your room look cluttered and busy. So if you too love a minimalist gallery wall, then I’m sharing some…
When it comes to kitchen design, going for a timeless look is the most important thing. Kitchens are expensive and are usually updated once every 10-15 years. Since you have to live with the colours and the look of your kitchen for a very long time, it makes sense not to follow trends that you’ll…
