Dreaming of a Historic Home: A Charming 19th-Century Cottage in Sweden
My Scandinavian Home
by
11h ago
I live in a modern townhouse in Malmö, Sweden, built in 2001. It’s bright, practical, and has lovely high ceilings. But what it lacks are the charming architectural details of a bygone era—those diamond-shaped windows and wooden beams that once came as standard. Do you own a home like this?  People often say that living in an old house requires a deep passion for maintenance. But that doesn’t deter me from dreaming about owning a beautiful historical home—one that carries the echoes of the past in its walls (although Per may beg to differ!). Needless to say, I can’t resist keeping an ey ..read more

Tjena! Hur är läget? Do you have awkward angles at home? Perhaps a sloped ceiling that’s causing you decorating strife? If so, you might just find inspiration in Natalie’s lovely Swedish home. Natalie (known as @huslyftet on Instagram) and her partner are true decorating wizards – and they don’t do things by halves. Not only did they lift their entire house and move it two and a half metres (eight feet) across the lawn, but they also added an extension before transforming the entire living space to create a truly personal haven. Today, their pretty, light-filled home features a wonderful ..read more

A 19th-Century Stockholm Home with the Perfect Colour Flow
My Scandinavian Home
by
6d ago
I was so happy to see Kris mention the 'red thread' in the blog comments on Wednesday! Safe to say, it’s one of my favourite decorating tricks—and something I often spot in Scandinavian homes. I love bringing it up here on the blog because it’s such a simple yet effective way to create harmony and cohesion in a space. Not familiar with the 'red thread'? In a nutshell, it’s about choosing a few key colours and repeating them throughout your home. It doesn’t have to be dramatic—think bold statements like wall colours, kitchen cabinets, or a sofa, or just subtle touches like candles, vases, art ..read more

My Scandinavian Home

It’s Lillördag (Little Saturday) – as the Swedes like to call Wednesday – which basically gives everyone permission to sip a drink (or two) guilt free as if the weekend has already begun. And honestly, I could very happily see myself swanning around this Swedish apartment this evening, fully embracing the occasion! Spread over two floors, this spacious home was designed and built in 1931, right at the dawn of Swedish functionalism’s golden age. Think clean lines, clever use of space, and efficient use materials. And you can absolutely feel that ethos here—an airy, efficient space in the hear ..read more
