I was thinking that it's been way to long since I featured a Norwegian home - and then this beautiful space popped up from nowhere (actually, it wasn't technically from nowhere - it's the fruits of an
Avenue Design Studio trip to Norway late last year!). The house is located in Drammen, just south west of Oslo and belongs to design duo
Kine and Kristoffer and their son Vilmer. Like their
creative studio, the hillside house reflects their passion for sustainability and function as well as their penchant for a clean, Nordic aesthetic and eye for detail. Let's take a peek inside!
Although fairly minimalist the look has a lovely, relaxed feel thanks to the mix and match chairs around a
Hay Loop Stand Table. The light overhead is the
Gubi Semi Pendant.
The U-shaped kitchen is a prototype of their own bean stained bamboo kitchen and the open shelving is also from the
Ask og Eng collection.
Kine and Kristoffer exercise a lot of restraint when it comes to colour, preferring a neutral, monochrome scheme which draws heavily from nature.
Upstairs the family of three have a second sitting room where they like to relax together.
The pair made the bespoke headboard from bamboo to create a warm and intimate feel in the bedroom. I also love how the reading lights have been hung from a central point in the ceiling.
Vilmer's room has been painted in a gorgeous blue and white colour scheme (although I don't know the exact blue paint colour, it looks similar to the one in
my stepson's room (S 7010-R90B Ambience by Nordsjö). My daughter has the same
Apple Papple print by Fine Little Day in
her room and tells all her secrets to him! Isn't he fab?! She also has the same tent! Source a similar one
here.
Thank you so much to Kine and Kristine for a virtual tour and to Holly and Hedda from
Avenue Design Studio for the kind permission to share these lovely pictures. You can see more / read the full interview
here.
What struck me the most about this home, is how beautiful each and every piece of furniture is. In the interview it says that the pair are careful to select items that are built to stand the test of time, and you can totally see this from the pictures.
Is there anything that stands out to you?
For more Norwegian inspiration today don't miss this
serene home looking out over a fjord, this
cosy and relaxed cottage and a
magical mountain cabin!
Gah! So lovely!
My sister's arriving from London tomorrow evening with my 2.5 year old and 6 month old niece in tow, so it's a hive of activity around here in preparation for the royal arrival. We're so excited!!
Have a lovely day!
Niki
