Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about The Magnificent Home of Swedish Cookbook Author Sofia Wood. Have you returned to live in the town where you grew up? Or perhaps you've never left? In 2020 Swedish foodie, blogger, podcaster and cookbook author Sofia Wood  and her family packed up their home in Stockholm and returned to Sofia's childhood roots in Norrköping.  It takes a lot to move cities (let alone countries), especially with children in tow, but as they say - fortune favours the bold, and the Wood family are reeping the benefits of a slower-pace of life while living in the most magnificent turn-of-the-century apartment.  Located in the city centre, the property has the most beautiful period features, sky high ceilings, large spacious rooms and classic tiled masonry ovens. True to Sofia's style, it's also packed with personality and fascinating details - as well as the mouth-watering scent of in-season dish bubbling from the stove! W...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Pattern, Prints and IKEA hacks in a Charming Swedish Cottage. Why,  godmorgon! I hope you had a lovely weekend! I was up at the cabin and the light was so beautiful (you can catch a glimpse in this little film ). Elsewhere in Sweden, illustrator and creator Kajsa Hagelin was also making the most of the late summer days with her family at their home in the countryside. Kajsa and her family have been renovating their quintessential red and white cottage by hand, sharing the inspiring kitchen transformation, Ikea DIY hacks and choice of wallpaper and textiles on instagram . Look closely and you'll also spot lots of Kajsa's own artwork throughout the house too. Ready to feel inspired? Kitchen before I'm not sure when the above 'before' kitchen shot was taken - it looks dated to say the least! Either way, Kajsa and her family decided it was time to strip it away and make space for a new kitchen! ...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Visit From Two Grand Old Danes At Our Little Cabin. This post is kindly sponsored by Carl Hansen & Søn, all words and photos are my own While we're at the cabin, friends and family often stop by. But it's not every day we get the pleasure of a visit from two grand old Danes (not to be confused with Great Danes - which would have been fun if not a little chaotic in such a small space!). I'm talking about the furniture variety. Last week I had the honour of capturing the iconic FH38 Windsor Chair  around our cabin table. Designed by Frits Henningsen in 1938, this fine specimen has recently been reissued by Carl Hansen & Søn - and it's just as delightful and beautifully crafted today as it was back in the thirties. Read on to see more pics and find out more!  The designer Often, when it comes to understanding the history of these fine iconic design pieces, the designer is a good place to ...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Perfect Harmony in a Serene Swedish Home. While the Danish  home I featured on Monday was full of playful touches and bold choices (those pink stairs! ), today's home is the epitome of calm. In fact, the very reason I chose to share this early 20th century Gothenburg apartment is because I'm tired of the white walls in my home and looking for a new colour scheme - something soothing and light yet with a subtle warmth. For me, it's the combination of light nuances of grey / beige (AKA greige) in combination with the natural wood which creates such a beautiful, timeless style and sense of harmony - something the Swedes do so well! I'll be pinning many of these shots to my Pinterest today. I hope you find this lovely apartment inspiring too!  If only I had space to store all my shoes like this at home - loving the floor to ceiling shelves by Elfa (I'm still thrilled with my wardro...
