Do you love to redecorate your home or move everything around once in a while? I featured Mary's home in Germany, four years ago and there have been so many lovely, small changes, I felt it was time to revisit!
Mary is the founder of @hyggeligt_hjem and lives with her husband, two sons, two cats and a dog in a beautiful old building in Halle. When they first moved in nine years ago, they decorated it in black and white tones (as was de rigueur back then) but slowly, over time, softer tones have crept in. Read on to hear about this lovely home in Mary's own words.
"At the beginning our walls were white, and over the years, I have become bolder and colour has crept in on the walls in the kitchen, master bedroom and children's bedrooms."
"I love Scandinavian design and like to combine my furniture with vintage pieces."
"I really enjoy changing our apartment again and again with small accessories such as vases, candlesticks and other items. It's much easier than rearranging and exchanging larger items!"
"Flowers are a must for me too. I usually buy a bunch or two on a Friday. I have a passion for beautiful, exclusively made vases and of course they have to be filled with beautiful flowers!"
"My favourite piece of furniture are the shelves in the living room from Mocoba. I also love our new sofa and Beni Ourain rug, it makes the room feel so cosy!
"I love to break up the calm tones with colourful prints on the walls or with cushions and blankets."
Such a cosy home! A big thank you to Mary for inviting us in today and telling us more about her decorating approach!
The kitchen especially caught my eye with the wood cabinets and red worktop - a little offbeat and so great!
Is there anything that stood out to you?

What stands out to me? Why the kitty on the bed of course! That sweet tummy is begging to be rubbed.
ReplyDeleteAside from that, I love the fact that there is a bit of daily clutter, evidence that this is a lived in home, not a soulless, pristine showcase. Also charmed by the prints in the kitchen corner above the sink. All in all, a visually pleasing, cozy (as you said) domicile!
That kitty looks so cosy! Yes, I love how it has the sense of 'home' too :)
DeleteThis is a home with lots of interesting details to look at. I very much enjoy the gentle use of color, the varying wood tones, the textures, and of course the cat!
ReplyDeleteI love that you pointed out the varying wood tones and all the textures, I think these are key here.
