Scandinavian DIYs and home decor ideas
Just like with their interiors spaces, the Scandi’s 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 creates a space that is both functional and stylish. With the warmer months coming up, now is a great time to…
The IKEA Ivar cabinet is one of the most popular pieces not just because you get great value for money but also because the potential to hack the IKEA Ivar cabinet is endless. This cabinet has a simple, minimal design and can be transformed in so many ways. I’ve shared some of my favourite IKEA…
I’ve long been a fan of Swedish kitchen designers, Nordiska Kok who create entirely bespoke kitchens made from scratch. Their designs combine Scandinavian aesthetics with beautiful materials to create kitchens that are not only visually stunning but are also very functional and fit for modern day living. So I wanted to share some inspiring ideas…
For some people beige equals boring but for those of us who love our neutrals, we know that beige is anything but boring. Beige comes in a huge range of different shades and the one thing they all have in common is warmth. There is something so cosy and welcoming about beige — any room…
This warm minimalist Scandinavian apartment oozes calm and style. The pared back aesthetics allow the original architectural features to really shine while the space is stylish, modern and functional. And speaking of the architectural features, they are just stunning. As large and spacious as this Swedish home looks, it’s actually a fairly small apartment measuring…
As Easter is fast approaching, I thought I’d share some of my favourite Easter egg decorating ideas before it’s too late. Having said that, many of us do some egg decorating over the Easter weekend, so there’s still time to enjoy these ideas. And most of them only need eggs, paint and few other bits…
Paper pendant lights are as much sculptures as they are lights. They’ve been around for ages but until fairly recently, you would only find the round paper ball pendant light. As beautiful as that is, paper pendants have since become a real design feature. They come in all shapes and sizes and best of all,…
Whenever I go to IKEA to buy one thing, I come back with 20! Who can relate? It’s so hard to resist especially when my brain is swirling with ideas on how I could hack this or change that. On a recent trip, I picked up far more than I had intended as usual, including…
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…
