Scandinavian DIYs and home decor ideas
The best part of Easter for me is all the egg decorating opportunities it brings. Eggs have such a simple and beautiful shape and once you decorate them, they look even more special. This year I opted for a floral Easter egg decorating idea. I love nature inspired decorations so I thought why not try…
Nestled deep in the Swedish forests lies this serene home designed by Norm Architects. Large windows are seen throughout the home not only to maximise views of the natural surroundings and allow a seamless indoor-outdoor feel but also to allow as much natural light in as possible. The home has been decorated in natural materials…
I’ve been wanting an urn style vase for a while but they can be pretty pricey. I then stumbled across this one online for £12 and promptly ordered it. When it arrived, I loved the shape but wasn’t crazy about the colour and the overall look — it looked better in pics than in real…
Who doesn’t love an IKEA hack? I love them. Some IKEA hacks take time and effort but others are as quick and easy as a paint job. I have just one of these hacks for you today. I’d been wanting a black framed wall mirror for my bedroom but each one I liked was way…
Much like their interior spaces, the Scandis create cosy, inviting and comfortable outdoor spaces, even in the smallest balcony or patio. They use the same design ideas outdoors as they do indoors which results in a space that is both functional and stylish. Your outdoor space, whether a tiny patio or a large garden, is…
Beds are the single biggest piece of furniture in a bedroom, so they instantly become the focal point of any bedroom. Even more importantly, they’re where you sleep, and we all know how important sleep is. Research suggests that the average person spends 26 years sleeping (that’s a lot of sleeping!) so it’s important to…
Brown is back and I’m here for it. While brown comes and goes as a trend, much like all colour trends, I’ve always loved this shade. It’s one of a very few dark colours that is a true neutral so it’s great for those of us who lean towards a more minimalist style but still…
White (and pale neutrals) are the most popular colours in interiors for good reason. This is likely even more true if your style leans towards warm minimalism or Scandi style interiors. Regardless though, white and very light neutral interiors are loved because they are timeless and calming. That said, what if your white interior feels…
This apartment, situated in Stockholm, Sweden, is so simple yet so cosy and calming. It’s decorated mostly in soft grey shades with dark wood furniture accents throughout. The contrast of the pale grey and the dark wood is striking and shows how well warm and cool tones can work together. Aside from the colour scheme,…
If you love your neutrals, you can’t go wrong with any shade you choose, whether that’s white, beige or grey. But sometimes these colours can look a little lacking on their own. While there are many colours that can complement neutrals, there’s one thats really standing out for me right now — warm and earthy…
There is something special about a timeless colour palette that will always look of the moment. In other words, one that will never date or go out of fashion and is very aesthetically pleasing too. That colour palette is black, white and wood. It’s true that all neutrals are timeless whether that’s beige, grey or…
