The best white paints for a warm and cosy bedroom

White is one of the most popular bedroom colours especially for those of us whose decor style leans minimalist. It’s timeless, versatile and visually calming. But not all white paints are created equal especially when it comes to bedrooms. Bright, stark white paints can make a bedroom feel cold and clinical, and that’s definitely not…

How to get more natural light into your home (the Scandi way)

Natural light is something we all crave and even more so in winter when the days are so much shorter. Scandinavians experience even longer, darker winters than most of us, often with just six hours of daylight or less. Because of this they’ve become experts at making the most of every bit of natural light….

9 chic IKEA decor accessories for under £20 or $25

Who doesn’t have a soft spot for IKEA? After all the Swedish superstore is practically an icon when it comes to offering great designs at affordable prices. While there’s plenty to be said about their big ticket items like their furniture (big fan of the Soderhamn sofa here!) there are also small decor accents and…

The 3 biggest decluttering challenges (and how to overcome them)

Having a clutter-free home is the most important step towards creating a space that feels calm and cohesive.

5 design choices that can make a bedroom calm, comfy and stylish

Over the many years of writing this blog, decorating a few homes and being a freelance interiors writer, I’ve realised just how much design choices influence the comfort and calm of a bedroom; way beyond the aesthetics.

3 Scandi-inspired flooring layouts for a living room (that are timeless)

Flooring is such an important part of a living room (or any room) because it’s the foundation on which you build the rest of your decor. It’s also something you’re not likely to change for years and years so it’s worth paying a lot of attention to and choosing something that will stand the test…

splurge vs. steal: the modular sofa

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…

How to make an all white living room look cosy and stylish

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.
