This cabin is just 70 sqm (750 sqft) and nestled in the woods somewhere in Sweden. It’s home to Katy and Hugo and their two children who like to live outside as much as possible. Large windows and doors let in plenty of light and views of the garden and woods connect inside and outside.

From what I can see and read they live a very environmentally conscious life and most of their furniture is inherited or found at flea markets – bar the odd piece from IKEA which is almost mandatory if you’re Swedish.

They also love cooking and their reading nook has lots of bargain cookbooks close at hand. With so much land around it’s not surprising they’ve got their own vegetable garden too and like to harvest just before dinner so no food miles here. I bet those veggies are full of flavour.

I like that Katy has also created a studio space in the loft which must have the most wonderful views through those large Velux windows. Talking of views I don’t think you can beat the one from the sunken bath across the lawn and into the woods. Katy says: “It’s incredibly nice to be there in the morning and brush your teeth while watching blackbirds bathing in the small puddles we created in rock crevices.”

Katy and Hugo’s lifestyle reminds me of my own upbringing and I’m feeling quite nostalgic about their rural set-up and wholesome attitude. I’m sure there are drawbacks and the long dark winter months would make me feel quite isolated but these sunny shots by Anna Kern are wonderfully enticing to go back to my roots and live the country life.

What do you think about their Swedish cabin? Would you feel isolated living in the woods?
