Texture, Warm Tones and Contrast in a Swedish Home - Home Design Ideas

Gambar
Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Texture, Warm Tones and Contrast in a Swedish Home. Texture, texture, texture. That’s usually my answer when someone asks how our Scandinavian friends manage to create such lovely homes in warm neutral tones. This Gothenburg apartment, for example, has been stripped back a little for sale, yet it still manages to balance simplicity with a cosy feel. Much of that comes down to texture: the exposed brick, the beautifully patinated kitchen wall, and the mix of natural materials throughout the space. Then there’s the contrast. Dark tones sit alongside lighter ones, while rattan and wood furniture add warmth and depth. A variety of shapes, from soft curves to more angular forms, also helps create visual interest. It’s also lovely to notice the mix of eras. Mid-century pieces sit comfortably alongside contemporary elements and the occasional antique, giving the space a layered, collected feel rather than something that h...

Golden Light and Design Pieces in a Swedish Apartment - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Golden Light and Design Pieces in a Swedish Apartment. Well, well, well — another week has rolled around, and it’s really starting to feel like spring here (it’s amazing how 7°C can feel positively balmy!). With that comes the arrival of pastel colours in the shops, which is always my sign that the long winter is finally nearing its end. Yay! This 100-square-metre (1000 square foot) turn-of-the-century apartment sits on the top floor of an Art Nouveau building, and while the living spaces are kept fairly calm and neutral, there’s a joyful burst of colour waiting in the bedroom. The 3.4-metre-high ceilings allow light to pour in, but what truly caught my eye was the mix of furniture and lighting – a beautiful blend of designer pieces and vintage finds, some perfectly in tune with the era of the architecture itself. And then there’s the balcony, dressed with a chintzy parasol and hues reminiscent of a glowing sunset. Ot...

Hanna's Swedish Home:Where Time, Books and Light Meet - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Hanna's Swedish Home:Where Time, Books and Light Meet. There’s that famous Patek Philippe line about never really owning a watch, just looking after it for the next generation, and I think the same can be said of houses too. This L-shaped home in the forest outside Grums, Sweden feels like a perfect example. Swedish journalist, author and radio/ TV host Hanna Hellquist inherited it from her father thirteen years ago and has since cared for it slowly and thoughtfully, turning it into a wonderfully cosy second home. When Hanna first took it on, the house needed plenty of love. There was mould on the panelling, no two windows matched, and much of it felt overwhelming. For a long time, it was hard to know where to begin. But years later, encouraged while looking at summer houses with her then-boyfriend, she returned to Grums and started small. New windows came first, then a little more each summer. Finally, the large...

Where Colour Meets the Simple Danish Summer Life - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Where Colour Meets the Simple Danish Summer Life. Well hej there, friends! We’re back in snowy Malmö and dreaming of… summer. A dangerous game when it still feels so far away. But in the former Danish home of Sofie Amalie Rolandsen, who works at a design agency, sunshine never seems too distant. Sofie loves to play with colour. You might remember her former Copenhagen home, which I featured way back in 2018, and you’ll see the same joyful approach in her current home, shared frequently on her Instagram @thusthefuss . She’s known for painting just about everything — walls, floors, ceilings, and more — in a plethora of bright, uplifting hues. But in her former summer house, Sofie took a different approach. Here, the walls, floors, and ceilings were kept neutral, allowing the details to do the talking: kitchen cabinets in a beautiful sky blue, a cobalt lamp here, a green stool there, and burgundy shelves and a s...

The Craftsman Cabin: A Cosy and Simple Place to Unwind - Home Design Ideas

Gambar
Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about The Craftsman Cabin: A Cosy and Simple Place to Unwind. I might need to rename this blog My Scandinavian Getaway. I can’t seem to stop sharing escapes that we can actually book. Sometimes I wonder if this little corner of the web is a subconscious reflection of my inner psyche, because every February without fail I announce to Per that it’s time to leave Sweden. Then spring rolls around, which leads to the magnificent summer, and I announce that I am, in fact, staying put. Relief all round! Do you have seasons in your country where you think they could do with being a little shorter? That was a very long way of saying I have another, very lovely escape to share with you. This time, in the shape of a cosy and rustic Craftsman Cabin  (the name alone had my ears pricking up, how about you?). Nestled on the edge of the Somerset Levels and Moors in southern England, this little cabin has its very own meadow, with unint...
