How To

Taking a few minutes to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the morning is a simple yet powerful ritual that can help you start your day on a positive note.

Savour the flavours and aromas of your beverage while planning out your day. Use a handcrafted mug to make the experience even more special.

Using a diffuser with essential oils or incense is a simple way to create a calming atmosphere in your home.

The soothing scents can help to promote relaxation and mindfulness, making it a perfect ritual to incorporate into your evening routine.

Taking a break during the day to stretch and move your body can help to release tension, increase energy levels, and improve overall well-being.

Use a yoga mat or meditation cushion to make the experience more comfortable.

Having a bedtime routine can help you wind down for a good night’s sleep.

Consider reading a book from a comfortable armchair or bedside lamp, or even taking a warm bath before heading to bed.

Decorating your living space with items that tell a story and reflect your personal style can create a sense of warmth and comfort.

Consider adding a piece of artwork or a vintage vase that holds special meaning to you.

Gör soffan mysigare med mjuka linnekuddar från By Mölle. Vira in dig i en linnefilt och njut av en kopp te.

Byt ut gamla sängkläder och pigga upp sovrummet med nya lakan Read The Label och Alfred. Matcha sängkläderna med en varm filt som också kan fungera som ett överkast.

Ytterligare ett sätt är att lägga fler och tjockare mattor på golvet. Varma fötter ger en varmare känsla i hela kroppen oavsett hur kallt det är. Vi har fått in ett lager av riktigt härliga vintage ryamattor som väntar på att mysa till det hemma hos dig.

Sommarens blomsterprakt må vara över för denna gången, men det behöver inte betyda att det inte går att dekorera med varm höstkänsla. Ta in kvistar med höstlöv, avblommade fröställningar från diverse perenner eller om du har vass eller högt gräs växande i närheten.

Placera dem som solitärer i en dekorativ vas som exempelvis den moderna klassikern ‘Pallo’ av Carina Seth Andersson. Eller gör praktfulla höga höstbuketter för den mäktiga vasen ‘Kolonn’ som är formgiven speciellt för återinvigningen av Nationalmuseum. Båda är hantverksmässigt tillverkade på Skrufs Glasbruk i Småland.

När sommaren är slut och vi flyttar in livet från trädgården till kök eller matsal är det alltid trevligt att kunna skapa stämning kring bordet. Vi baserar gärna våra dukningar kring servisen från Hasami Porcelain, som används till både vardag och fest.

Ibland är det enkare och mindre fomellt att duka direkt på bordet, men linnedukar och linneservetter från Alfred känns alltid mysigare och skapar lite lager på lager känsla. Självklart är ljussättningen viktig och här kommer återigen både stearinljus eller oljelampor väl till pass.

Blanda modernt med vintage och laborera med höjderna.

Snuggle up on a cosy sofa full of soft linen cushions from By Mölle. Wrap yourself in a super soft linen throw and enjoy a cup of tea.

Breathe new life into your bedroom with some new bed linen from Read The Label and Alfred. Match your bedding with a warm blanket that can double as a throw or bedspread.

A great way to infuse a layered and warm look and feel is to ad rugs. Deep and plush vintage rya rugs are a fantastic way to warm your feet on a cold day while looking incredibly cool at the same time.

While summer’s colourful flowers may have done most of their work in the garden this time of year, it doesn’t mean that it is the end. Tall grasses, twigs with wilting leaves and seedpods from perennials may be harvested and brought inside.

Place as solitary decorative objects in a vase such as the modern classic ‘Pallo’ by designer Carina Seth Andersson. Or assemble magnificent bouquets for the mighty ‘Kolonn’ vase, designed to commemorate the reopening of the Swedish National Museum in Stockholm. Both are made by hand at Skrufs Glasbruk in Sweden.

As summer draws to an end it is time to take the party inside. And that is not necessarily a bad thing. With the right look and feel, a table set with thoughtfulness and attention to detail is the highlight of the season. Try the subdued tableware from Hasami Porcelain.

Ad linen table cloths and linen napkins from Alfred for a little sense of occasion, or set the table without for a less formal look. Don’t skimp on candles and by all means, mix new holders with vintage heirlooms.

Use features such as candles and floral arrangements to create a sense of multidimensionality to your dining table.

Choosing your coffee can feel like an overwhelming task, and with so many options there is just no way around it. Think if it as choosing wine – the more you try, the easier it will be to find your favourites. Just remember to make sure whatever you pick is fresh and of high quality.

We’ve worked our way through the coffee from a bunch of local roasters, and love Malmö-based Lilla Kafferosteriet’s ’Bistro’ blend.

For a Hario V60, a medium-fine grind will do the trick. Pour a scoop of ground coffee (or 18 grams per cup, if you’d like to be precise) into the filter.

Once all the water has passed through, pour yourself a cup. You’ll notice that the flavour changes as the beverage cools down.

Most importantly, enjoy!

Just purchased a row house built in 2018? A mid-century gem by architect so and so? Or a 19th-century country cottage?

Consider what general style and vibe goes best with the location and the house itself, but be bold and expressive by throwing unexpected items or furniture into the mix.

Before heading out, scouring the market for designer furniture and interior design objects, make sure that you have a plan.

Coherence is key if you like structure and tranquillity in your home. A simple moodboard goes a long way.

Skip those inexpensive knock-offs. Don’t spend your money on fake goods. Plagiarism is an effective way to kill the means of income for skilled craftsmen and designers.

Buy the real deal, or not at all.

Remember that old houses have a soul. So do vintage design items and furniture pieces. High-quality craftsmanship has gone into making them.

After generations of use, they often come with a beautiful patina, adding personality and style to your home.

That adage goes even when shopping for home interior items and furniture. Interrupt those latest trends and fads by incorporating stuff that you really want.

Love at first sight? Just go for it!
