Creating a home that truly reflects your passions and personality can be difficult. Thankfully, for Scandinavian lifestyle lovers, help is at hand.
I recently chatted with Danish designer, stylist and TV personality, Katrine Martensen-Larsen, about her new book, ‘Nordic Moods’.
As a Nordic design lover, I am always inspired by pieces from the past. Yet what I find truly exciting is how these strongly held values and deep-rooted traditions are being reimagined to reflect our lives today.
The recently launched KIN collection from longstanding Danish homewares brand ArchitectMade is the perfect example of this.
While some people believe it’s never too early to start getting into the festive spirit; I’m not ready to start decking the halls in my own home just yet. But there is one lovely Danish tradition I whole heartily approve of: advent candles.
Just as you would a traditional calendar, the advent candle, or ‘kalenderly’, acts as a countdown from December 1st to the big day.
Thanks to their iconic wood burning stoves and outdoor ovens, homeware brand Morsø has become synonymous with ‘hygge’ moments; not only in its native Denmark, but also across the UK.
But there’s far more to creating that hyggelig feeling than just warming yourself by the fire or barbecuing in the rain. It’s about how you spend your everyday, how you eat, how you socialise and how you create a feeling of home.
If your home is anything like mine then every piece that surrounds you tells a story. A unique story that reflects who you are, where your passions lie and the journey you’ve taken. Individual pieces of design lovingly collected together, reflecting a particular place in time.
