Finnish Abode Embraces Cosmopolitan Chic and Rustic Mediterranean Flair

Delve into a world of inspiring interiors as we take a tour of some enchanting homes from Finland to California.

First on our list is Astrid's Charming Finnish Lakehouse Full of Soul, History. This rustic abode boasts a cosy reading nook with a built-in bookshelf, a warm and inviting rustic living room with a stone fireplace, and a kitchen adorned with vintage appliances such as a stove and refrigerator, nestled among wooden cabinets. The pièce de résistance? A sauna overlooking the serene lake, complete with wooden benches.

Next, we travel to sunny California to discover a Dreamy White Vintage-filled Cottage. This charming abode features a cozy living room with a vintage fireplace, a kitchen adorned with a vintage refrigerator and open shelving, and a master bedroom boasting a four-poster bed and vintage wallpaper. The outdoor area is equally delightful, with a vintage swing and flower beds.

Maiju's delightful Finnish home and Suvi's beautiful, modern home on Finland's west coast are also showcased. The outdoor areas of these homes feature docks and fire pits, perfect for enjoying the Finnish summer.

Photography for some of these homes is by Päivi Lemström, capturing the essence of each unique dwelling.

For those seeking to add a touch of hygge to their kitchen, an online shop offers 8 ways to do so, while an Etsy shop provides loose fit white covers for IKEA sofas.

In a special mention, we have Astrid Lindgren's Swedish home. Born in 1907 in Vimmerby, Småland, Lindgren later bought her childhood home and land, which can still be visited today.

Lastly, a clutter-free Finnish home with lovely children's rooms is showcased, offering inspiration for family-friendly living spaces. A white Swedish apartment with a small space hack is also mentioned, providing ideas for maximising space in smaller dwellings.
