The first thing that catches your eye when approaching this lovely summer cottage in one of the Swedish villages is the beautifully manicured green garden. The owners have created a place for candlelit dinners and open-air breakfasts right under the crown of an old tree – it looks very romantic. The cottage itself was built…
It all started with Christina and Bjorn’s love for this beautiful area: the couple looked at a house to buy nearby but were more impressed by the nature and views of the local lake. That house turned out to be completely unsuitable, but instead, they found a perfect plot – on a hill and overlooking…
We are adding another home to our collection of unusual buildings converted into homes. Some 50 years ago, this yellow cottage in the Swedish countryside functioned as the only store in the village – its appearance and location by the road speak volumes about it. But in the 21st century, its original purpose was no…
Today we have another beautiful Swedish cottage, making a trip through which (even a virtual one) is a really fascinating event. This lovely house, although built in a traditional Swedish style, has one distinguishing feature – a small tower, which houses several rooms. And also, through this tower, you can get to a wonderful roof…
Photographer Marnie Hawson definitely has her own style of interior presentation. She prefers atmospheric artistic processing to dry, raw photographs, while her portfolio includes mainly country cottages in a similar style – with an abundance of vintage and simple soulful atmosphere.

Architect Fyodor Belyaev managed to create a stylish modern residence for a young family out of a house built of traditional material – wood. Outside, the cottage is black – this approach to the exterior decoration of a wooden house immediately sets up for the fact that the interior design will not be traditional at…
And though the appearance of this cottage in Sweden is rather unusual for these places, the nature and views are quite Swedish: pine forest, rocky slope, next to one of the many lakes. The house is designed in an interesting and somewhat fabulous way – in the shape of the A letter, thanks to which…
If somewhere there is an ideal summer cottage, then the home of the Swedish blogger Elsa Billgren is very close to it. It has everything that we associate such summer homes with: a traditional granny’ss atmosphere, vintage details with history, a lot of aged and worn wood and natural textiles. This interior is synonymous with…
One of the main differences between Scandinavian summer cottages and the ones in Russia and Ukraine is that in northern countries they are not at all afraid of very light and even completely white interiors for their homes.
