Colours & patterns

I, who is not the biggest fan of bold colours & patterns is not the best one to promote this but it’s not about using, the but more about enjoying – at a distance. Things can be beautiful without having to have the style or taste, of course. I admire those who can combine the pattern on pattern & add one colour or multiple colours – to make it look beautiful & inviting. It requires a certain sense & talent indeed – as well as passion!

Pale pink

I am not a person who uses a lot of colour but appreciate colour joy in others. However, I have periods, but not very protruding colours, which creates a need for a clothing accessory or little change through textiles at home. Right now, I appreciate pale pink shades & when that feeling arises, I see that colour everywhere, of course. That pink shade I’m talking about, is really nice together with white or black. Nice also to gray – of course a lot of other colors – but that’s what I prefer right now.
The last photos of clothing is maybe more what I’m after.

Daily inspiration, styling

IKEA has an amazing range of home furnishing, although it can many times look very similar no matter what style or set up. Here, they have succeeded with a light grey background & bed in dark wood with dark grey linen. You have to look hard to discover that it’s the furniture giant. It is the secret of their range – that you can put together your own personal style, to function in your everyday life & with your lifestyle. Exciting styling, it is!

Benches

Benches in various forms are invaluable. They fill up in a nice way, are functional & simple to use. I’m pretty fond of the bench as a furniture – both as a seating place as well as to store things on – very practical. We have had benches in different rooms from time to time. Perfect in the hallway, kitchen, bedroom, basement … or outdoor. Nowadays, I use more upholstered stools in smaller sizes. Right now we have two in front of the couch, both for tired legs but also to use as extra space for the tea-tray or anything else that’s needed. A bench that has been around for quite a few years now, has had to move from the hall into the living room & have now ended up in the dining room. That’s what happens when you move a lot. What once functioned in a room work better in another – hopefully, that is.

I’m a bit nostalgic, I can’t throw away things, especially furniture that our children have grown up with & which they see as part of their childhood. With everything new, you get a home that looks like an exhibition. We ended up in that situation when we had our furniture in containers. We lived in a ready furnished place, for a longer period while we were looking for a house. Things around you becomes part of you without real economic value. It’s stuff that has sentimental value, things that can not be measured in money. As for example an old bench 🙂
