Knock on wood

I often return to the material wood. All sorts of materials are naturally beautiful but I have my heart in the birch. Pine, ash, maple, oak – are all nice, by all means. It’s all about making sure that the different species of wood comes to their advantage in different environments. It is good to be careful not to mix without further reflection including colour selection. Since wood varies in different shades, this can create different colours in relation to the light during the day. Just take a look how living wood can look like & how incredibly beautiful it ages.

Daily inspiration, glassed

It looks pretty nice with in-glazed wardrobe, don’t you think? It’s not something you see very often – yet. You could put it anywhere in the room so you can see it from all sides. It’s just that you have to keep in mind that it takes some order then. So that it does not create a feeling of mess in the room. Perhaps it would be useful for things you love, things that is precious without being expensive, if you see what I mean. Much like a showcase in a museum. Anyway, I like it!

Daily inspiration, creativity

I really like this solution, which has such an impact on the room yet so incredibly simple & efficient. Both as a room divider, storage space & as a feature wall. Handy to store things from both sides of the room too.

Daily inspiration, soothing moments

Lazy days off with beautiful weather is a delight. The sun is shining with cool breezes occasionally. Kids are playing & laughing outside on the street & I can hear the neighbour swimming in the pool on the other side of the wall. It is soothing moments like these that are worth gold, nowadays.

Daily inspiration, foundation

I like this image today. Wood combined with black & grey colours. Sophisticated style as well as timeless. A relaxed environment that does not require your attention but still inspires, through its stillness. A good foundation for simple changes when you’re in the mood.
