DIYs and home decor ideas for a beautiful home
I’ve been on the look out for an accent chair for our living room because I think every living room needs one. Also I want a comfy chair to sink in to while reading a book or flicking through one of my favourite interior magazines. Accent chairs are useful not only because they provide extra…
White is the most popular colour of paint and even more so if you love Scandinavian interiors like me. You’d think that white is white so it would be easy to choose a paint. But it’s not. White can be one of the trickiest paint colours to choose for your home because there are so…
One of my favourite things to do is have friends over for a meal. Not only is it so fun in the moment but so many memories are made around a table. While I love these kind of gatherings, I’ve learned to keep things simple and stress-free. That usually includes an easy to cook but…
For today’s home tour I’ve got this stunning small Scandinavian apartment which benefits from many original features like the ceiling mouldings, the original flooring, the super high ceilings and huge windows. Like many Scandi homes, this isn’t a big home with just under 500 sq ft (approx 45 sqm) of space. But the space feels…
Scandinavian decor is becoming more and more popular and it isn’t going anywhere because it’s not a trend, it’s a way of life. We all have a desire to live in uncluttered homes that offer warmth, cosiness and comfort which is exactly what Scandi interiors offer.

Going for multi-purpose furniture is always a good idea but it’s even more important in small spaces. Also, it’s a good way to have less stuff especially if you want to create a clutter free home. Today is all about a decor piece we all need in our homes – mirrors. But they’re not just…
For today’s home tour, I’ve picked this warm and inviting Scandinavian apartment. There is so much attention to detail in every room in this home making it come together beautifully. It feels like every piece has been carefully chosen for aesthetics and of course practicality too. As is often the case with Scandi homes, this…
For some, Easter is all about the chocolate. For me it’s all about decorating eggs. I mean, of course I eat the chocolate too but my favourite bit is Easter egg decorating. This year I made these minimalist Easter eggs with a simple but striking alphabet/number print. I was inspired by these minimalist stationery designs…
Today is all about decorating with blue walls. For those of us who are in to Scandinavian style interiors, it’s a common misconception that you can only decorate with white, grey or black. You will often find colour in Scandi homes, especially colours that draw from nature and one of the most popular is shades…
Bookmarks are like socks in this house. No matter how many we have, they disappear after a while. Since all three of us read a lot, we always need bookmarks. Once again I’m running short on bookmarks so I made some more. This time I choose to use fabrics because I love the tactile feel…
