A Guide to Swedish Midsummer: Food, Flowers & Festivities - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Guide to Swedish Midsummer: Food, Flowers & Festivities. This Friday marks one of the biggest days on the Swedish calendar – Midsummer's Eve – and it's one of my absolute favourite celebrations of the year. Rooted in ancient pagan traditions, the Swedish Midsummer is a joyful celebration of light, nature, and the arrival of summer. For centuries, Swedes have gathered to mark the longest day of the year with music, dancing, and feasting – a tradition that remains deeply cherished to this day. If you're in Sweden over Midsummer, you’ll notice the city streets are deserted as many make their way to a corner of the countryside to dance around the maypole with wildflowers in their hair, and then tuck into a feast of pickled herring, new potatoes, and sweet strawberries – all under the glow of the summer solstice. Fancy holding a mini celebration at home? Here are the key ingredients... Forget p...

Hagestad Nygård: A Dreamy Österlen Farmhouse Full of Character - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Hagestad Nygård: A Dreamy Österlen Farmhouse Full of Character. Hejsan! How was your weekend? As long-term readers will know, I live in Skåne, in southern Sweden, and this time of year it really comes into its own. Have you been here in summer? The fields are glowing, the beaches fill with life, and the little cafés and farm shops buzz just enough to feel alive, but never rushed. Tucked into the rolling landscape of Österlen is Hagestad Nygård , a farmstead with over a hundred years of history. Built with care by Esbjörn Persson, it still carries that sense of craftsmanship and calm. And since 2020, it has been cared for with a lovely blend of preservation and gentle modern updates. The property comprises three separate buildings, which serve as separate dwellings and also a relaxation area, complete with a small, lush indoor pool. And outside, a saltwater pool awaits on warmer days. The interiors are warm and expre...

All Things Bright and Beautiful: Inside a Joyful Danish Home - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about All Things Bright and Beautiful: Inside a Joyful Danish Home. "All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small." We used to sing that hymn during school assemblies when I was little—maybe you did too. Funny how certain phrases linger in the mind, waiting to resurface at just the right moment. That line popped into my head the instant I stumbled across Tilde’s delightful Instagram feed,  @vintherhome , where the Danish creative shares snapshots of her joyfully colourful home. With  3 Days of Design  in Copenhagen just around the corner (the city-wide festival celebrating Danish and international design), my thoughts have naturally drifted toward all things Danish—and design-related. If you're heading there too, I think we’re in for a treat. That’s how I came across Tilde’s vibrant abode just outside the city: a playful blend of bold hues, quirky shapes (palm tree floor lamp, anyone?), and ch...

Global Soul, English Heart: Inside a Layered London Home - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Global Soul, English Heart: Inside a Layered London Home. "Show me your friends, and I'll tell you who you are," so the proverb goes. I think the same can be said about a home—or at least, it should be. After all, it’s the one place in your environment where you and your cohabitants have true autonomy. That’s what struck me about this London townhouse. While we might not know exactly who lives here, the space offers plenty of clues about their interests, passions, and perhaps even their story. The eclectic mix of art, ceramics, textiles, and treasures from around the world suggests a deep love of travel—or perhaps a personal connection to different cultures, maybe even roots in places like Africa or Asia. What’s clear is that these aren’t just decorative objects, but items that feel meaningful. You could easily imagine one of the inhabitants running a small business sourcing and sharing beautiful, handc...
