A Relaxed Berlin Altbau with Warmth and Charm

Ready for an adventure? Today, we're off to Berlin (sadly not in person, wouldn't that have been great?), but in spirit! This lovely Altbau apartment belongs to Resi and her little dog Frida, and they have made a wonderful home for themselves.

I've been lucky enough to visit Berlin a few times and always come away marvelling at the city's wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. There's a certain ease to life there. Looking at these pictures, I can almost imagine the sounds of the city drifting in through the tall windows, the distant hum of bicycles and snippets of conversation from the street below.

What I love most about Resi's home is how perfectly it captures that laid-back Berlin spirit. The beautiful bones of the apartment, soaring ceilings, decorative cornicing and those glorious windows, are softened with natural textures, warm earthy tones and an abundance of plants and flowers. Every corner seems designed for simple everyday pleasures: lingering over a morning coffee in a sun-drenched window nook, curling up with a book as the afternoon light shifts across the wooden floors, or enjoying a cosy evening as lamps cast a warm glow around the room. 

Let's take a peek inside!

Coral sunset peonies - my all time favourite flower. I absolutely love the way they start off a deep and vibrant fuchsia pink before turning coral and fading into a light pink. Beautiful. 

Do you have a favourite flower?

Such a lovely feeling oozing from the pictures. A perfect city oasis! 

Are there any details that stood out to you?
