The Home Tours That Stole Your Hearts in 2025

Gambar
The final blog week before I take a little break over Christmas and New Year comes with its very own tradition: looking back through the year and revisiting the tours that caught your attention most (judging by view count). And honestly? It never fails to make me smile. This year, the top five posts came with a very distinct twist — which was both exciting to see and quite revealing of what we’re all collectively dreaming about right now. I have a feeling you’ll notice it too… So, ready to see which homes stole your hearts this year? Drum roll, please… 5. Slow living: my peaceful little cabin It means so much that you enjoyed this peek into our own little cabin on the Swedish west coast. Thank you! We love spending time there, it's so peaceful.  5. An enchanting 1930s Swedish Cottage Filled with Colour, Charm, and DIY Creations We all fell in love with Sandra's pretty fairytale cottage just outside Gothenburg.  4. Cosy off-grid cabin in Lapland We dreamt of...

Understated Christmas Charm in a Swedish Home

Gambar
Men tjeeena ! How's it going for you this last week before Christmas? Is all calm and bright or gloriously chaotic? Either way, this is exactly the moment when Scandinavian Christmas inspiration feels extra comforting. And, they really do their decorating so well, don't you think? What I love about the festive touches in Amanda Broomé’s Swedish home is how understated they are. Nothing feels over-styled or overwhelming – instead, Christmas is woven gently into everyday corners of the house. A simple tree placed on a side table, a wreath hung with a soft ribbon, and a few sprigs of greenery are all it takes to create that unmistakable Scandinavian holiday feeling. Candlelight plays a big role too, with slender tapers glowing on kitchen counters, dressers and shelves and golden angels dancing in the heat of the flames in a gold carousel. It adds instant warmth and makes the spaces feel calm and inviting, especially when paired with natural materials like wood, linen and ce...

Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree: The Edit!

Gambar
Oh, how I love a Christmas tree — the true star of festive décor! When it comes to your fir, I’m a firm believer that there’s no right or wrong way to decorate it. It’s simply about decorating it your way. This year, I’ve loved seeing a little bit of everything online — from rustic, pared-back trees adorned with candles to floor-to-ceiling showstoppers festooned with vintage ornaments, garlands, bows, and flags. If you’re decorating your tree this weekend, here are a few ideas to get you feeling inspired! The little ones Short on space? Mini trees are ideal for windowsills, tabletops, the corner of a room or anywhere else you feel like adding a festive touch - and they're so pretty too!  The rustic tree Grown in your own back garden, the last one left at the tree farm, or simply love at first sight - rustic trees are an asymmetric wonder and full of character. Plus they look equally beautiful left natural, decorated with ornaments or simply lit with a few lights.  ...

A Cosy Norwegian Home at Christmastime

This is the time of year when I always start to panic — is Christmas really only 14 days away? I have so much to do… how about you? Even so, let’s pause for a moment and enjoy some festive calm inside the charming home of interior designer Guro Jovall , just south of Oslo, Norway. Guro lives with her son, dog and boyfriend in a beautiful house built in 1838 — and at Christmas it becomes truly magical. Guro’s style blends Scandinavian simplicity with warm, historic character. The tones throughout her home are soft and natural — creamy whites, warm woods and gentle greys — creating a calm backdrop for Christmas greenery and candlelight. I love how the textures do so much of the talking here: the rough, hand-brushed brick by the fireplace, the smooth painted floors, the cosy sheepskins and woollen throws, and the layers of linen on the table. It all feels so inviting. Look closely at the dining table, and you'll see it's been set with understated linens, sparkling glassware a...

A Warm Swedish Christmas: Inside Sanna’s Country Home

Gambar
Hej there! How are you holding up? It's a busy time of year!  On Friday I shared a few snapshots from my own home this Christmas (along with a little gift!), and today we're spreading our wings a little further afield – to Sanna's beautiful Swedish country home in the snow. Sanna lives here with her family, and to give you a full tour I went back through her Instagram (with kind permission, of course) so I could gather snapshots from each room – which is why some feel more Christmassy than others. Either way, there's plenty of inspiration to be gleaned! Sanna’s home is filled with the kind of quiet, soulful details that make Scandinavian country interiors so inviting. Painted wood panelling in dusty blues and greys gives the kitchen a soft, heritage feel, while worn timber floors and simple rustic stools add a grounded warmth. Also, keep an eye out for natural textures—ceramics, linen curtains, wooden cabinets— which soften each room, and fresh flowe...
