FERM LIVING SS2015 COLLECTION | BLUE NOTES

19 January 2015

Happy Monday to y’all and let’s dive into the latest Ferm Living SS 2015 Collection. It’s so bitterly cold here in London at the moment that I’m clinging onto anything that has Spring/Summer in the title and promises warmer temperatures.

Ferm continues what it’s doing best: well-crafted design for everyday living. I love the aesthetic of their products and have picked some shots that particularly resonate with me and will make you want to dive into the whole collection online.

Blue seems to be a real trend for SS – you’ll see further proof of that in tomorrow’s post – but for now I’d like to point out the other trend I’ve noticed which is having vases in different sizes and heights as a collection of objects as well as for traditional flower display. Something I came across in my recent post about the Ruutu vases for Iittala as well.

Ferm Living always inspires me with their strong graphic language across their whole range from bedroom to living room, kitchen, office and kids room their prints are instantly recognisable and their popular handmade rugs now come in new versions. The kids stuff is adorable as ever and I love the wooden building blocks and embroidered cushions.

More Spring Summer blues from one of my favourite fashions brands tomorrow.

NORWEGIAN CHRISTMAS CABIN DECOR

4 December 2014

December is going to be even more manic than usual for me as we’re preparing to move house at the end of the month. Only 10min down the road but I’ve got no idea how to get it done… yet. I’m sure some last minute inspiration, read childcare (any volunteers?), is going to turn up and it’ll all be fine. Famous last words, eh!?

Until then I’m burying my head firmly in the sand, or snow if this idyllic Norwegian Christmas cabin decor is anything to go by.

The calm and relaxed atmosphere is just what I need at the moment and I love how all the vintage finds mix in beautifully with new home decor from shops like Tine K Home and the owners online interior boutique Bolina.

The white floors and ceilings really lift the interior and draw the eye to the opposing black walls and the feature fire place. It’s a simple and rustic setting with a bespoke kitchen made from reclaimed planks from an old barn and personal memories on display giving it warmth and character.

A fabulous mountain retreat and perfect for sticking my head in the snow.

CHRISTMAS SCENTS IN A DANISH HOME

26 November 2014

Falalala… even though the weather has been pretty wet and mild I’m in the mood for some Christmas home inspiration and found this stunning place via Danish site Femina.

It’s the home of interior designer Anna Jessen who likes to stimulate all the senses at Christmas and has paid special attention to evocative smells this year. Wood fire, evergreens and spices like large cinnamon sticks are in plentiful supply in her home during the festive period as are an abundance of candles and one of my Christmas favourites, a striking red amaryllis.

Her home is a great example of modern rustic living and I like how she effortlessly mixes antiques like the wooden corner cupboard with sleek contemporary furniture and lighting. The mostly black and white home is easily transformed with her choice of simple decorations and a wood burner brings extra intimacy and coziness. It’s a clever idea to integrate the fire place into the wall at waist level so you can watch the flames when you’re sitting at the dining table.

The real show stopper has to be the all black kitchen for me which provides a lovely contrast to the period dimensions of the town house.

I don’t know about you but I’ve got this urge to get closer to my screen in order to smell the wonderful Christmas scents…

SIMPLE AND STYLISH CHRISTMAS DIYS

Last year’s Christmas DIYs post was one of my most popular ones so I thought I’d show you a couple more simple and stylish ideas to decorate your home and get you in the festive spirit without breaking the bank or taking up too much valuable shopping time.

A simple wreath made form evergreens brings immediate festive cheer to the home. No need to get it perfect, just use some nice copper wire to bind the greens together.

Counting down and lighting a candle every advent Sunday before Christmas is a real Northern European tradition. I like the minimalist style of spray painting some old bottles as candle sticks and adding large numbers. With the wax drips it’s going to look more rustic the closer it gets to the big day.

A simple and stylish wrapping idea with brown or white paper and a simple black star that can serve as a name tag. Be generous with the twine and wrap it round a few times.

There are a gazillion different fairy lights on the market but I like these simple white ones which look quite magical in a glass jar.

These pine cones are so cute dressed up with simple paper ornaments for Christmas.

Ok, this one does take a little longer if you want to make it from scratch but I love the simple triangle shape with some string to display Christmas cards, ornaments or anything else festive.

Save your money on wrapping paper this year and go for brown paper and simple string instead. Adding some evergreens will give a rustic flavour.

Last but not least, for the very time-poor amongst you, drape some fairy lights around the house, put your feet up with a nice glass of something and… relax. That’s what Christmas is all about!

MODERN RUSTIC CABIN IN THE PYRENEES

17 November 2014

Let’s kickstart the week with a gorgeous example of Modern Rustic with wonderful textures and contrasting materials. A beautifully renovated stone house in the Spanish Pyrenees that retains it’s character despite the modernisation.

Restored and modernised by architect Carlos Nicolau his brief was to create a weekend get away where his clients could relax and live a simpler life. They wanted a complete antidote to their busy lifestyles in the city and reconnect with nature. The dilapidated building is an old farm in the mountains and needed it’s facade restoring as well as a new roof, running water and electricity.

I love the large open-plan living area divided by a minimal concrete fireplace open on two sides so the flames are visible from the bedroom and the living area. The exposed oak beams give a great sense of height and rest on three original stone pillars. The new floor-to-ceiling oak framed windows bring in lots of light and the deep window frames serve as extra seating to admire the view – perfect for some daydreaming.

Another favourite of mine is the clever bespoke kitchen island designed in black metal which looks like a large table and has ample space for preparation and cooking. The in-built storage doors are made of large oak boards that blend well with the flooring.

This is a cabin after my own taste and I love the combination of rough and smooth surfaces, cold and warm materials and the muted colour palette. I’m pretty sure I’d loose myself daydreaming on one of those window seats.
