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...

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...

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...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about From Stable to Sanctuary in Tasmania. Hallo Freunde, I’m scribbling this from Frankfurt Airport, where I’ve spent the past couple of days exploring Ambiente (more on that over on my IG ). As always, when travelling, the world opens up a little — and suddenly you feel like you could just keep going. Don’t worry, family. I am actually coming home. Still, I do have a long-held dream of visiting Tasmania one day, and I’ve just found another stay to add to my ever-growing list: The Stable Lofts . Housed within a historic converted stable, The 'Pony' is a charming mudbrick loft set right in the heart of rustic Tasmanian country life. The listing describes it as being surrounded by lush gardens, serenaded by birdsong and visited by wallabies at dusk and dawn — a place where time slows down. The perfect setting for a romantic weekend escape. And, I’m completely there for it (virtually, for now). I love the simplici...
