After a summer of visitors, big kids coming and going, boyfriends, girlfriends and the general chaos of a busy household, to say our home is starting to look a little shabby around the edges is an understatement. Aesthetically I have always been inspired by the simple stripped back style of Scandinavian decoration. I'm somehow always intrinsically drawn to those raw essentials of bleached floorboards, natural linens, rustic timber, and eclectic finds from around the globe, and the list goes on. So, I hope you don't mind whilst I indulge in a little musing of how to recreate this look in our very 'un shabby chic' home right now!

So many beautiful pieces! My brther lives in Denmark and he and his wife have their decor just like this. It's just normal to them and comes easy without trying. Me however, to achieve the look would be pondering for hours!

I wish my house look even half as good! I'm rubbish at decorating, every time I visit shops like Habitat or John Lewis home department, I panic- there is too much to chose from and I normally leave empty handed :)

I can never quite decide if it's this rustic Scandinavian look I'm into or the more stripped back minimalist look I love more. Seeing these photographs I think it must be the more rustic look I've been going for at home.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen @frustilista on Instagram? One of the photos you've posted is from her house, it's really beautiful, xx
