Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Blog round-up: The Most Popular Home Tours of 2024. Hej friends! With just a few days to go before the Christmas holidays, it’s time for the big blog round-up! When creating each post, I carefully select homes that truly capture my heart—but that still means a wonderfully wide variety of styles, locations, and interiors. Looking back, it’s always exciting to see which tours resonated with you the most throughout the year. And this year’s top ten is just as eclectic as ever: from Swedish summer cottages and a snowy cabin in Finland to a colourful and elegant Stockholm apartment. But the list doesn’t stop there! It also features gems from farther afield, including Igor’s chic Berlin apartment, a vintage-filled cottage in California, and even a dreamy ocean-side retreat in Tasmania. Ready to dive into the top ten most-loved posts of the year? Let’s start from the bottom and work our way up. Drumroll, please... 1...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Traditional Swedish Christmas Decorations in Victoria's Cosy Home.  There are just eight days left until Christmas—are you ready (if you celebrate)? I have to admit, things are feeling a little chaotic here. I’m way behind, but hey, at least the tree is up and twinkling away! That counts as a solid start, right? I’m holding out hope that in the coming week, a little Christmas magic will swoop in and get everything sorted. In the meantime, I’m taking a deep breath—and a good dose of yuletide calm—from the beautiful Swedish kitchen and dining space of Victoria Oderland  in Åsa, a small coastal village in the countryside near Gothenburg.  This cosy living area is brimming with all the charm of a traditional Swedish Christmas: an adventsljusstake glowing softly in the window, candle wreaths suspended overhead, and a warm glow from plenty of candlelight. But there’s one decoration in particular that real...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Nina's Warm and Cosy 19th Century Home in Wintertime. On the 21st of December, we’ll celebrate the winter solstice—a turning point, as from then on, the days will gradually become a little lighter. Hooray! Today, in Sweden, it’s Lucia—a celebration of light, marked by a girl wearing a crown of candles, leading a Lucia train of others dressed as little Father Christmases, gingerbread men, and other whimsical characters. It’s a beautiful tradition filled with songs and Lucia bullar —delicious saffron buns.  The darkness at this time of year also means the lights are often on all day—a detail we rarely see in interior photos. That’s why I was so excited to discover Nina’s home in Hamburg, Germany and the way she captures the essence of winter indoors. Picture sheepskins draped over chairs, golden slivers of sunlight, a roaring fire, soft, atmospheric lighting, and, of course, the subtle hints of Christmas. Her house,...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about DIY Touches In A Danish Maker's Home at Christmas . Today, I’m transporting you to the charming thatched cottage of artist and designer Ane Kirstine Bilde to see what she’s up to this time of year. As you can imagine, her home is a hive of creative activity, with Ane at her desk crafting everything from paper snowflakes and sweet-filled cones to hang on the tree, to angel garlands, paper bell gift tags, and embroidered Christmas tree ornaments. It’s truly inspiring for anyone looking to add their own pretty festive touches to brighten up the home this season! Let’s dive in: So many pretty ideas, Ane is just so talented.  I love the cones for sweets and the little gift tags - lovely! Will you make any decorations this holiday?
