Sofie loves to play with colour. You might remember her former Copenhagen home, which I featured way back in 2018, and you’ll see the same joyful approach in her current home, shared frequently on her Instagram @thusthefuss. She’s known for painting just about everything — walls, floors, ceilings, and more — in a plethora of bright, uplifting hues.
But in her former summer house, Sofie took a different approach. Here, the walls, floors, and ceilings were kept neutral, allowing the details to do the talking: kitchen cabinets in a beautiful sky blue, a cobalt lamp here, a green stool there, and burgundy shelves and a sofa. These carefully chosen touches bring her signature style to the countryside, while still keeping things simple and letting the surrounding nature shine.
After all, summer cabins are all about downing your tools, kicking back, and embracing the simple life — surrounded by family and visiting friends. Ready to take a look?
Could this be a sign that we should all be a little more daring in our homes? Quite possibly! Nothing creates a talking point quite like a standout piece — and I guarantee, everyone will love it.

I’ve been incredibly organised this week and am looking forward to returning on Thursday with a very cool Swedish home to share with you. In the meantime, I’ve been busy working on another article for IKEA — this time all about how to get your pantry in order. I actually learned a lot myself while writing it, and our kitchen has never been in such great shape… not a single stray strand of spaghetti lurking at the back of the cupboard to be found! For the moment.
See you Thursday!
Welcome back! I hope you feel rested and able to take on the world.
ReplyDeleteThis home has such a happy vibe. I love the pops of color. I did a double take on the two photographs of the living space--it's the same corner of the room, but the change of artwork groupings switches up the mood drastically (I prefer the second one). I wish I could see more of the shelving unit. It's very unique.
We had springlike weather last week, but winter has returned. I'm starting to feel the winter doldrums, and am ready for spring!
Good morning Niki!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been such a long since I posted a comment… by the way, welcome back! Here in Canada in my neck of the woods winter has been brutal!! More sunshine please!!
I have a question for you regarding this post. In the bathroom, I love the drawers and sink unit. Do you happen to know where I could purchase something similar? Also, the green paint colour in the bathroom is beautiful. I’m thinking of painting with a warm green colour. We live in a rustic setting near a small lake and have pine paneling pretty much throughout. I often think how would Niki arrange/decorate this place??
I have been following My Scandinavian Home for many years… thank you for making me visit/travel/dream along with you! Much appreciated! Marie ❤️
Welcome back!! So happy to see you in my in-box today!! Today's home is full of joy, isn't it? I didn't even notice the two toned sofa until it was pointed out to me. There are so many other details to admire. I was drawn to that fringey green and off white table cloth and also the lovely green bathroom. Am I becoming a green girl??? I did smile at the kitchen photo with the cute green stool. You can only see two of its three legs and it appears to be a very precarious perch!! I think it would be lovely to sit out on that deck and just soak up the scenery.....maybe with a glass of wine and all the Scandinavian Home friends?? I enjoy your posts so much. Spring must be coming, but it arrives in jumps and jolts. We are back in winter temperatures here. Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to Thursday. : > )
