I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas! I am still enjoying the relaxed mood after the hectic past months. Here is a selection of some Christmas interiors I found over at Pinterest and a shot of my home.

Decorating your home is almost like a neverending story and it is also a hard work to do. I am still missing so many lamps, furniture pieces, wall decor and other things around the place. But the living room is slowly coming together.

I started to regularly post photos from my home on instagram so if you wanna see new shots and also my new art prints, please follow me :)

This apartment is truly amazing. It has a perfect combination of retro and luxury design with a very inviting atmosphere.

The base here is a fantastic space with rich stuccoes, high ceilings, wood paneling and spectacular historical fireplaces.  It instantly provides added value with luxurious atmosphere.

I would like to start with the kitchen as it is fabulous, large and well designed.  With the retro cooker and hood, gold details and gray cabinets it looks both trendy and traditional.  There is also a nice small dining table set but the main dining area is located in the separate room.

The dining room is something I would love to have a place for in my home.  And it would look very similar to this one here. There is a beautiful, vintage Poul Henningsen's kontrast lamp used,  large table and a lovely bunch of black chairs. You definitely should take a closer look at the amazing fireplace with the huge mirror and the carved details on the door frame.

Of course, I can't forget the living room, which is again, very well done. You can find a nice mix of new and vintage design pieces ( like a nice grasshopper lamp ) but nothing is overdone, the place was left so it is clean and spacious.

I really like the fusion of two very nice styles here,  you can find some amazing designs from the mid-century modern era and also current bohemian decor elements.

You can find here a vast range of extraordinary design pieces (like Noguchi coffee table and George Nelson's Bubble lamp) and some really beautiful pattern rugs.

My favorite place is probably the bedroom with a collection of lovely textiles and black/gold lamps.

What a gem. Welcome to the home of Creative director Martin and his wife My. Located inside of an old 1888 building, it has a ton of charm and personality.

With a size of 156 square meters, there is indeed a lot of space to make your dreams come true, and the owners chose a very nice way to decorate this interior.

In the living room, which is quite minimalist, you can find a very nice sofa from Eero Koivisto and chairs by Barrey & Moltzer. The ceiling lamp is from Ay Illuminate. The only real decor piece here is a couple of photographs behind the couch.  There is also a fun piece there - vintage table football.  On the second living room  photo you can also spot a JWDA Concrete Table Lamp by Menu, my lamp of choice for a next lamp buying madness :)

I simply love the dining room with a couple of classic chairs and my favorite Poul Henningsen's lamp - the snowball. There is a large metal shelf which adds bit of almost industrial feel

The bright and calm dining room is counterbalanced by the dark and elegant kitchen. Black is the ruling color there and with a black painted walls, it has a very distinctive look. I like how the white floor complements the look.

When I think about a cottage, usually something rustic and old-fashioned comes into my mind, but in Scandinavia, they do things differently.

This little cottage from the 1960s in Vejby belongs to a designer Kristian Lillelund and he really has a great taste for interior design.

I find it absolutely gorgeous. There is the main, white painted area, where purple and blue colors serve as main accents with a help of natural plywood.  It is bright and very positive looking.

The owner is indeed a retro design lover as there are many vintage design pieces to be seen around the house.  My favorite place is the kitchen, where you can find a ton of Cathrineholm pieces and also George Nelson's Bubble lamp (and you can also spot his black Asterisk Clock in the living area).

The sleeping area, in contrast, is very minimalist and modern, using OSB boards for the walls and ceiling but still being coherent with the main room by sharing that beautiful blue color accents.

It is an amazing project and I would love to spend some time here.
