Scandinavian vintage


Vintage charm with a lively kind of calmness - that's how this Scandinavian home can be described. It's a kind of organised mess with nature as base, and most items have been found in Scandinavian flea markets. It's all about natural materials like wood and linen, and the colours are of earthy hues. It's a romantic style with a mix of a seaside/countryside feeling to it.

When you first enter the home there is a calmness about the interior, but when you look closer you see the lively, and very unexpected mix of odd little decorations. Decorations that say playful, such as the stuffed bird, the old mannequin, or the figurine of Renaissance style checking itself out in the mirror.

Every item in the home seems old and worn out - the old books, the paintings...
The fabrics are all made of linen - some items are embroidered and some are not - and this adds even more of a vintage style to the home. It's a bohemian style of a romantic mess and it's all about the decorations, but the way the items have been placed in little groups gives the place a more organised impression.

The home contains some really odd but charming decorations.

An old wooden door works perfectly fine as a wall decoration.

 This home is all about the little details.

 The chest of drawers is from the 1880's, and it complements the printed fabric armchair. The antique urns are a great addition to the room.

The home includes a number of fantastic flea market finds.
