Past and Present Meet in a Danish Thatched Cottage


I have seen thousands of Scandinavian cabins in my two decades of living here (some in person, many online!), and while each one is unique, they usually share a few themes: heirlooms and second-hand finds, or traditional pieces that reflect a relaxed, down-to-earth lifestyle, and colour palettes that mirror their surroundings with touches of coastal blue or countryside green. Not this one. And that’s exactly why it caught my eye.

Currently for sale, this thatched cottage on the Danish Riviera blends old and new beautifully. Copenhagen-based Studio Force Majeure collaborated with the founders of Ferm Living to decorate the space, creating an interior that feels both contemporary and rooted in tradition. Original architectural wood panelling and exposed beams, washed in a warm cream, provide the backdrop to a modern stainless steel kitchen, very cool animal print sitting room furniture, and an on-trend wave mirror. But you’ll also spot the hallmarks of a traditional Scandinavian summer house throughout; a woven basket here, an urn there, which of course, I love! 

Keep a close eye on all the details as you look through, there are plenty of touches to feel inspired by!








So cool and different! 

But the big question is - can you guess what's inside the beehive? I'll share the answer (and a picture) later this week. Oooooh, the suspense! 

Is there anything that you loved about this danish cabin? Could you imagine spending your summer here? 

It would be rude not to share a few more Danish summer houses today. If you have the time, please do check out: 


Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the virtual trip to the coast of Denmark!

Where Life Happens Gently: Inside a Tranquil Swedish Family Home

Some days call for a sense of calm—and that’s exactly what you’ll find in the family home of @emiliaolssons . This Swedish villa is awash in soothing tones and furnished in a pared-back style, where every piece adds quiet interest. All around, glimpses of family life unfold, framed by lush greenery. Keep an eye out for the cosy touches kept within reach: a chaise longue perfect for sinking into with a good book, and a basket of blankets tucked under the stairs, ready for chillier days. All in all, a charming family home where life happens—but calm is always just around the corner. I have to say, I've been writing this post in the car, under a little duress as we are on our way to watch some tennis in Båstad fun - even so, this has offered me just the level of calm I needed!  I love the snoozing family dog on the stairs, the children playing, and also all the lovely furniture and lighting. If you're looking for more information on some of the items, please v...

A Swedish City Apartment with a Little Sunroom

Hej vänner! Ready for a new week?   Looking at the picture above, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this is a classic Swedish summer cottage in the depths of the countryside. But, after featuring not one  but two country homes last week - I promised you something different. And this beauty is in the heart of Södermalm in Stockholm!  Cosy and blessed with the high ceilings we have become so accustomed to with these Swedish homes, the apartment has the best of both worlds - access to the city, with a little outdoor oasis.  Stockholm is known for being compact and property is hard to come by without paying a premium. As result, you'll often find studio apartments. This 49 square metre (527 square foot) living space, however, is blessed with a separate sitting room, kitchen and bedroom - albeit a snug one! Potentially owned by an artist, it also has a little sunroom for painting and drinking coffee in the autumn sunshine.  Ready to discover more?  ...

Escape to a Cosy Swedish Summer Cottage in the Heart of the Countryside

We’re up at our little cabin now, enjoying a slower pace – long lunches, a bike ride to tennis, then a swim. It’s the kind of holiday I look forward to all year. Sweden is at its summer best: lush forests, wildflowers everywhere, warm days with a gentle breeze, and beach picnics with friends – plus a bit of chaos too when it comes to grocery runs and washing dishes! But even that has its charm. Yesterday at the local supermarket, a whole family walked in wearing dressing gowns – just back from a swim! That’s Swedish summer for you – easy-going, blissfully relaxed, and delightfully unbothered. If you’re tempted to try it yourself, there are plenty of beautiful cottages on Airbnb that offer just that feeling. One I love is this cosy red stuga in Gränby , near the lovely town of Vadstena. Set among open fields, it’s simple but special – with a snug sleeping loft, an open fireplace, and a solar-heated outdoor shower. Perfect for stargazing, spotting deer, and slow, meaningful days. ...
