I’m not the person that takes out the red shiny christmas balls in November (or at all actually), but I like the more subtle hints of Christmas, especially when we are still a month away. I like different shades of grey in our living room in winter, and I think this elevated vase by Muuto looks perfect on our coffee table. Eucalyptus is the nicest Christmas plant in my opinion, and I love how it makes the house smell nice. I added the Groove coaster with copper jingle bells I found in the craftshop (they are actually for decorating presents, which I might use them for later). This coaster has been holding my hot beverages before, but the texture is so nice that I’m using it as decoration right now.

I like the glass and wood textures of the vase together with the lines in the marble and to add a little bit of softness to the mix as well, in the sofa you can find the Soft Grid pillow. To keep in the grey theme, on the shelf you can find our Circular and Triangular watercolor prints and on the other wall you can see our Calendar for 2016. I like this grey theme a lot and I think it looks so calm. Are you already getting the Christmas decorations out, or are you still waiting a little bit ?

Cozy and playful for the winter months

When the seasons change and the yellow and red trees of fall start to look bare, I usually like to make some changes in our home as well and bring a little bit more coziness inside. We spent so much more time in the house when it’s cold (I guess I’m not the only one) and I value and cherish my home decorations so much more now than in summer.

To cozy up our dining area a little bit, some classic pieces made their move in. On our table the By Lassen Kubus 4 candle holder will bring us many cozy candle lit dinners and I’m sure I will have my fun with this classic piece when it’s time to bring out the christmas decor. I have seen many people get creative with it on Instagram and have seen it being transformed into the perfect Christmas wreath. They also just brought out a matching-matchbox cover and matches which fits the Kubus perfectly.

On our String shelf, which usually looks quite clean and white, The Woody Bimble from Hoptimist is stealing my heart. We have each been playing around with this piece of craftsmanship out of smoked oak and we are so amused by it. Furthermore I added the lovebirds from Kay Bojesen to the shelf, which are just so perfect together. The reversed natural and smoked oak on each of them matches each other perfectly, while they are each so different (sounds like many relationships doesn’t it ?). These hand crafted creatures bring some fun in our interior for winter, because ultimately, between all the minimalism and clean lines, the elements that make a home playful and cozy are so important.

All design pieces mentioned above (and many more beautiful objects) are available at Conceptroom.

Spacious but cozy home

post

What a gorgeous home with beautiful floors, high ceilings, and antique doors. It’s often a challenge to make a big home into a cozy space, but this home certainly looks cozy and inviting. I’m in love with the big workspace (dreaming about one for myself as well) with the desk in the middle of the room. I also really like the small bedroom that is painted entirely black. The cat adds a little bit of character in that room as well of course.

The bathroom with white tiles and a black floor includes not one but two shower niches for extra storage space that is within reach while taking a shower.
