After two years in Australia, we’re moving back to our old house in Norway — the one that’s stood for almost 300 years. I keep thinking about what it will feel like to walk through those rooms again, to bring a bit of the calm and light we’ve had her...

Interior For the House

We have the most beautiful house in Norway which has now been rented out for almost 2 years! It is time to change the interior to our comfy skandi style!

I love this one — it has that simple, grounded feel I always come back to. The thick poplar wood and rounded edges make it look calm and solid, almost like it’s been there forever (and our house is over 300 years, so it makes sense). It’s the kind of...
Sleepo Coffee Table

I really like how this table can be made smaller or bigger — perfect for those everyday dinners that somehow turn into long evenings with friends. It has that clean, timeless look that fits both an old house and a more modern space. I can already pic...
Kitchen Table From Sleepo

It feels like the kind of sofa you sink into on a slow Sunday morning. I like that it looks relaxed without being messy — just calm, lived-in comfort. In our old house, with the wooden floors and thick walls, something like this would make the room f...
The Perfect Lounge

I love how simple this chair is — light, soft lines, and just enough detail to make it feel crafted. The white-oiled wood has that quiet, natural look that fits perfectly in an old Scandinavian house. It’s the kind of chair that feels calm to look at...
Chair from Sleepo

These curtains have that soft, almost airy feel I love — light enough to let the daylight through, but still give the room a calm, finished look. The off-white colour works so well in an old house with uneven walls and wooden beams — it adds softness...
Curtains for a softer look

There’s something playful about this one — soft curves, but still minimal. I love how it swivels, it gives that sense of movement and ease without feeling showy. It would fit so nicely in a reading corner or by a window, especially in an old house li...

Ok, this chair has me obsessed! This one feels like comfort and elegance in one — the kind of chair you want to curl up in with a blanket and a cup of tea. I love the soft, rounded shape and how it somehow manages to feel classic and modern at the sa...

I love how practical and simple this is — two small tables that can be moved around and used in different ways. There’s something really nice about furniture that doesn’t take itself too seriously, that just fits wherever life happens. The wood tone ...

There’s something about a tall mirror like this that changes the whole feeling of a room — it opens it up and adds light in such a natural way. I love the soft arch; it feels gentle against the sharper lines of old wooden walls. The thin metal frame ...

This pillow feels so gentle — the scalloped edges add just the right amount of detail without making it fussy. I love the texture; it looks like something that’s been there for years, quietly softening the space. It’s the kind of piece that would mak...

I love having this cupboard in the same room as our dining table. It adds a simple touch showing off our best dining sets and glasses.

This one’s just a classic — simple, functional, and somehow always in style. I’ve had mine for years, and it still looks the same. I love that it feels like part of home — sturdy enough for hikes, but just as right for everyday life. There’s somethin...
