Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Autumn in our little cabin. Hello, i t’s 'höstlov' (autumn half-term) here in Sweden, and since the clocks went back this weekend, it suddenly feels so much more moody, cosy, and autumnal. Gloves are on, winter coats are making their first appearance, and the world outside is wrapped in gold. There’s that unmistakable damp chill in the air, and candles are glowing even in the middle of the day — the perfect excuse for hearty stews, hot drinks, and a slightly slower pace. Do you get an autumn break where you are, too?  I’m officially putting down my tools for a few days to spend some time at our cabin — my absolute favourite little place for long walks, a crackling fire, lazy breakfasts, and the odd (very competitive) board game with my family before the crazy school days begin again on Monday. Wishing you all a lovely long weekend — and a happy Halloween to those celebrating!  Leaving you with a ...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Quiet Cabin Escape on a Danish Island. Hej hej! Welcome to a new week on MSH! Over the years, my family and I have spent countless summers sailing around Scandinavian waters, and a few places have truly stolen my heart. One of them is the Danish island of Anholt — have you heard of it, or perhaps been there? Sitting out in the middle of Kattegat , about halfway between Jutland and Sweden , it’s the perfect stop when we’re heading from southern Sweden to the Gothenburg archipelago . It’s a good day’s sail from the mainland (which can feel extremely long in bad weather!), and when you finally reach the harbour, you’re rewarded with a lovely, easygoing buzz: people chatting over cold drinks, music drifting from little bohemian bars, and upside-down barrels doubling as tables. The beaches here are soft and white and the water has an unreal shade of turquoise that makes you want to jump straight in (even if it can be a...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Finding Calm in a Swedish Forest Cabin. It appears another week has just swished by — blink and it’s Friday again. I’m very ready to hit pause a little this weekend and chill. While we’ll probably be in Malmö, my heart’s already halfway to the forest… ideally parked in a cosy Landet cabin with zero plans except maybe snacks, fresh air, and wearing the comfiest knit I own. In Swedish, landet basically means “the countryside,” but it’s more than that — it’s about sneaking off somewhere calm and relaxed. That’s exactly what Landet is all about: a true escape without any of the faff. Think nature, fresh air, good design, and zero stress.  The cabins themselves are dotted around some of Sweden’s most beautiful rural spots — close enough to get to easily, but far enough to feel like you’ve actually escaped . It’s the brainchild of Ted and Umberto, who were looking to help others to enjoy the Swedish countryside withou...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Step Inside This Charming Cottage in Limhamn, Sweden. One day, when the children have flown the nest (sniff sniff), I can imagine us downsizing to a little cottage that’s just big enough for Per and me. A cosy place with lovely old features and a fireplace, not far from the sea. And that’s exactly how I ended up sending Per a link to this little gem yesterday while he was at work (subject line: “priority,” of course!). Needless to say, he agreed that this charming home in the old Limhamn part of Malmö would be the perfect little nest for us. Maybe it was the hand-made bricks, the exposed beams, or the elegant ceiling rosettes. Or perhaps the solid joinery, mullioned window arches, lofty ceiling height, vintage kitchen, classic stove, and mirrored doors. All the charming details of yesteryear have been beautifully preserved in this semi-detached house from the turn of the century. Equally lovely are the newer touches ...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Who’s Ready For an Off-grid Cabin Escape?. Goddag! What better way to start the week than with a little escape? A girl’s got to dream, right? And this little cabin in Devon, England, is the perfect retreat to rest and recharge for a few days. The off-grid cabin might not have all the mod cons, but it does offer a cosy bed with a wonderful view, a crackling wood-burning stove, and an outdoor copper bath – perfect for soaking while you gaze at the scenery or lose yourself in a good read. Did I mention that the dark wood-clad interior has been decorated with the utmost taste too? Welcome to Rest & Wild in Exmoor.  Hands up – who’d happily trade their current plans for the week for a stay here? My arm shoots up! Bliss… and honestly, exactly what I could do with right now. In fact, I was having an interesting chat with someone last week about the difference between what you do for fun and what you...
