Hej! How are you lovely people today?
A little while ago, I shared a guide to Helsingborg – a city close to my heart, not only because my husband is from there, but also because my father-in-law lives in a charming fishing village nearby, in the Kullaberg area. This beautiful peninsula is brimming with creatives, cosy cafés, great eateries, and spectacular cliff walks. If you’re planning a trip to southern Sweden, it’s an absolute must. And as luck would have it, I think I’ve just found the perfect Airbnb for you too!
This cosy stay is called Villa Mandelgren – a wonderfully peaceful half-timbered cottage dating back to the 1800s. With two charming bedrooms layered with textures and warmth, it makes the perfect hideaway for a small group or family. Nestled right on nature’s doorstep yet still close to Höganäs – the coastal town I featured in my guide – it makes for a great base.
When I stumbled across it, I couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps stylist Marie Olsson Nylander (whose home I featured here many moons ago) or artist Sara Bergman (who also lives in Nyhamnsläge and has appeared on the pages of MSH) might have had a hand in the decor. Or maybe there’s simply another local with a great eye for design – combining earthy tones, rich textures, and a soft touch of femininity.
Either way, this Airbnb is definitely one to bookmark for future trips – and such lovely inspiration for autumn interiors too!
The beams make all the difference, I think – adding so much to the overall cosiness. I’m curious though – have any of you ever knocked through a ceiling to reveal beams? If so, how tricky was it to do (asking for a friend ;)?
I also love the floral bed covers – they bring such a lovely touch of femininity and softness to the space. So often rental homes can feel a little sparse in the photos, but this one strikes just the right balance: calm and pared back enough for you to add your own personality, yet cosy enough to feel instantly at home.
Can you imagine staying here? If so, you can check out the booking on Airbnb here.
And if you’re planning a trip to Sweden, don’t miss my guide to Helsingborg, Helsingør, and Kullaberg!
I absolutely loved reading all your comments last week! It was a bit of a crazy one on our side with a full work week and a birthday in the house (thank you so much for all your kind wishes for Liv!). This evening I have a long train ride home from Formland in Jutland, Denmark, and I’m looking forward to replying to them all then. Which reminds me if you'd like to hear about the latest interior trend and news from the cool Danes, checkout my instagram stories over the next 24 hours to follow my day here!
Wishing you an underbart start to the week!

I love all of it but I didn't see and faucets in the bathroom sinks. Just curious. I love the bed coverings too, and the beams
ReplyDeleteMaybe not Sara Bergman. Love her home, so artsy, but this one's softer in approach with florals. Love every part of the cottage and the color scheme. Me too, didn't notice faucets in the bathroom sink. Is it the pouring-pitcher-of-water-into-sink sort:) Have a underbar week:)
ReplyDeleteThe beams add a wonderful architectural feature. I would also love to know if others have taken on a renovation to reveal beams! The colorful bedding looks so appealing and as a fellow reader noted, the colorful bedding looks scheme carried throughout the inside (and even outside to the charming table!) is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy return home and looking forward to hearing about your experiences at Formland.
Having spent some time this summer in Hoganas visiting friends, Helsingborg for a stay and Helsingor for a visit, it was fabulous. We visited the Kullaberg peninsular on the most glorious day and stopped at Arilds Hamn for delicious ice cream. We will be going back next year.
ReplyDeleteSo many vintage treasures! The old workbench turned into a TV stand, then the coffee table....the list goes on and on. The posts and beams add a lot as well. I really enjoyed the vibe of this rental!! : > )
ReplyDeleteI can imagine spending hours just exploring the cliffs and cafés… or maybe even taking a little break to play a round of Tunnel Rush on my phone while enjoying the view!
