If you’re here, I’m guessing you love Scandinavian style decor as much as me. Scandi interiors are very popular and will continue to be as it isn’t a design trend, its a way of life.

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…
