Hello! I hope you're having a great start to the week? At the weekends we always try to escape for a day. Whether that's a walk along a beach, hiking in the forest or simply getting away from it all. How about you? When it comes to the home, I love to see the surrounding nature reflected within. This styling by norwegian duo Kirsten Visdal and Lisbeth Nilsson for Interior Magasinet is a great example. Sheepskin throws, logs for the fire, a branch from a tree and cushions bearing cute sheep faces come together to create a calm and cosy space close to nature, nordic style. How do you bring the outside in?
I really do love the nordic colour scheme, there's something so calm about it, don't you think?
A few items I know and love - Dining area: HAY loop dining table, Panton chair, Aksel Hansson chair. PH pendant lamp. Sitting room: Silence rug by Permafrost, coffee table by Norrgavel, slippers from Illums Bolighus, source beautiful sheepskins here, the fireplace is by Scan.
PS When I lived in London the double-decker buses used to roar passed my flat and make the windows rattle - My Swedish boyfriend (now husband) found it really disconcerting but I found it strangely comforting. I guess that's another way of bringing the outside in?!
Have a lovely day!

Oh no! I don't believe it. Next Christmas perhaps?! I've got a secret list of things to buy myself this year which didn't appear under my tree either....;) Happy new year! /Niki
DeleteHi Niki,
ReplyDeleteThe rug is just so cute. And thank you for sharing the lovely 2015 calendar.
Take care!
Hi Mette - happy new year! I LOVE the rug - especially the name 'silence' - ah :) let's catch up soon, it would be lovely to see you x
DeleteLove the hides, I asked for a reindeer fur for my birthday in December, and a lovely present from my husband it was!

So cosy! Good man!
DeleteI love those pictures and especially the rug with 'footprints'!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! There sure is something calming about interiors with a bit of "untamed" nature in them...I guess it is in our genes, to feel soothed by natural elements
