Scandinavian DIYs and home decor ideas
A bunch of my readers told me that they’d really be interested in a high-low series on here so I’m excited to introduce it today. High/low simply means a high-end decor item (the splurge) and a similar one at a much lower price point (the steal). For the very first splurge vs. steal, I’ve got…
White living rooms always look clean and timeless. That’s why they are such a popular choice in Scandi homes which are all about minimalism with warmth. But decorating a living room in mostly white can go wrong too as it can end up looking cold and clinical without the right styling. That said, it’s entirely…
December is a busy month for so many of us. For me though it’s a bit crazy as in addition to Christmas we have a family birthday as well as several very close friends’ birthdays too. That means that I don’t always get time to go big with Christmas decorations. Instead sometimes I just pull…

Internal glass dividers can be either glass walls or…
I share tips on decluttering because it is one of the biggest obstacles to having a home that feels calm, cohesive and inviting.

Neutral rooms can get a bad rap. They’re often called boring or uninspiring or just plain dull. Being a neutral lover, I obviously disagree with this BUT, and it’s a big but, this can be true if a neutral room is missing one important design element — a statement piece which is what todays little…
