Well, well, well - if it's not what Swedes call 'Lillördag' (little Saturday). Which means friends, we've earned the right to take a mid-week breather, poor ourselves a coffee, out up our feet and some Scandinavian interior inspiration!
Emma lives in a house in a little village called Hjo on the West coast of Vättern, Sweden's second largest lake (seventh largest in Europe). Every room is a sea of warm earthy neutral shades pepped with in-season flowers from Emma's own garden and candles to bring in warmth. I also love to see a glass of wine or cup of tea, and a slice of homemade pizza or slither of a freshly baked cake are never far away!
Here are some snapshots of some of Emma's favourite cosy corners.
Lovely! It's really cold here now so I especially love the autumn touches like the blankets, candles and roaring fire.
The dahlias are in full bloom here too, and Emma's are so pretty!
Is there anything that stood out to you in particular?
I also have an important news flash for you - this Friday 4th October it is cinnamon bun day in Sweden - so make sure you get involved. There are plenty of good recipes to be found online (and there's one in my Lagom book too if you have a copy of that lying around).
Other cosy homes with an autumn vibe to love today:
And finally, a little note to say that I am heading to Mallorca tomorrow to visit my older sister. It's only for a few days but I really can't wait! This means that I will be taking a couple of days off and will be back here again next Wednesday. I hope you enjoy the archives in the meantime.
Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week!

Have a wonderful break and enjoy your sister time!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I had such a lovely time and came home with so much energy :)
DeleteWauwwww, what a beautiful home:-)
ReplyDeleteIt really is! Happy you appreciated this one too!
DeleteLoved the green accents in this beautiful autumny home, especially the desk and fabrics. That lamp beside the bed:) It is cold here too, at least in the mornings. Have a wonderful vacation and will wait for Wed.
ReplyDeleteHappy you liked the details such as the green accents and lamp beside the bed. I had such a lovely time with my sisters and tried to soak up as much sunshine and blue skies as I could before arriving back in Malmö ready for the Autumn rain!
DeleteWhat a pretty home. While the rooms were likely styled for photographs, I thought I was thinking she lives very stylishly with a cozy, quiet luxury… all the candles, flowers/vases, pretty linens and blankets, glasses of wine and nibbles.Those dahlias are exquisite! And that pizza looked divine! The green desk was a lovely complement to her color palette.
ReplyDeleteSo true Pamela, thank you for pointing out all these lovely details.
DeleteWe just returned from a vacation yesterday, so I'm playing catch-up. This is a pretty, cozy space--I'd love to sip tea here and have a good chat with a friend. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with your sister!
Welcome back Kris, I hope you had a lovely time! :)
DeleteEmma's cozy Swedish home on Lake Vättern sounds like an absolute dream! The serene lakeside setting, combined with the warmth of Swedish design, must make it the perfect retreat. I can just imagine the natural light streaming in, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. It’s homes like these that inspire a sense of calm and comfort. Speaking of personal touches, an embroidery digitizer can help capture the essence of such a beautiful space through custom embroidered designs for home décor. From pillows to wall hangings, it’s a wonderful way to bring a bit of that Swedish charm into your own home!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you enjoyed this home. Thank you for taking the time to tells us more about embroidery digitizer!
