A Pared-back, Warm Family Home With Handcrafted Pieces

A Pared-back, Warm Family Home With Handcrafted Pieces
Why, hello there! Any plans to celebrate lil lördag (little Saturday) in style? Maybe this home tour will set you on the right path! Schirin lives in an old house dating back to 1928, in Bremen, North Germany with her husband Thomas and their two children Mattis (8) and Karlotta (4). Schirin works for a non-profit organisation by day – and at night pens Schmasonnen, a blog focusing on sustainable interiors. When Schirin and Thomas first bought their house over 7 years ago it was incredibly run down and in major need of repair. The duo set about renovating the property with a sustainable mindset, being careful to retain the original details. Today, the family enjoy a pared-back home which exudes warmth thanks to the abundance of natural materials, handcrafted pieces (Schirin and Thomas designed and built the kitchen table, shelving unit and children’s climbing frame among other things! yep, I know!) and vintage finds. Step this way for the tour!

There are so many pieces to love in Schirin’s sitting room including: Nomad chair, Hay sofa, Kristina Dam table. I also love the woodturning stove tucked into the corner of the room – such a cosy touch in wintertime!

Schirin and Thomas built the shelves (try Tylko for similar), Stockholm 2017 coffee table, Kristina Krogh print and Louis Poulsen Panthella lamp*

Schirin designed the climbing frame and slide, and Thomas, who is an engineer for wood technology, built it. Oh, how I’d have loved this when I was little! Lilla Gunga sells wonderful wooden indoor toys like this (Allie has the gymnastics rings in her bedroom and absolutely loves them!).

Feeling very inspired by Schirin and Thomas’s home – not least because of all the handmade pieces! 
Do you have any handmade pieces in your home? If so, I’d love to hear more about them! 
You can see more snapshots from Schirin’s lovely Bremen home on her blog and instragram: @schmasonnen

Looking through the archives, this is actually the first time I’ve featured a home from Bremen (I’m guessing this won’t be the last time, though!). But there are a load of other lovely homes from Northern Germany to drool over, including an inviting family home in a small village,  a charming home in kassel, North Germany and a playful home that will put a smile on your face
Have a wonderful day friends!
