Welcome to Astrid Marie’s serene home in a small town in Western Norway. Astrid lives in a house on the farm she grew up on with her husband and two little children . Looking at her calm, beautifully curated home, it comes as no surprise that she’s always been passionate about interiors and studied to be an interior consultant ten years ago. It’s only now though, that she’s dared to take the bold step to start up her own business
“I like my interior to be minimalistic with high quality and natural elements. I like to surround myself with neutral and warm earth colours, with contrasts in black and dark wood.”

At the weekends and during the holidays, Astrid and her family head off to their cabin. I couldn’t resist a snapshot from the cabin sitting room! That view!! Here’s how Astrid described their island retreat to me:
“The cabin is on a small island called Atløy on the west coast of Norway. It is about 1.5 hours drive from our home. We love spending time there because it’s so calm and relaxing. We can sit and just watch the ocean, the boats and the weather change for hours. Sometimes we see whales swim by or eagles right outside our window. We also have a couple of otters that live just down from our cabin. The children love to watch the wildlife, and so do we! We leave all our worries back home and just enjoy life.”
I have to say, I really wouldn’t mind hanging out in either of these spaces – but that sitting room view is something else!! One of the things that always mesmerises me about Western Norway is the dramatic weather – one minute the sky is a bruised, inky black and the next there’s a shaft of sunlight piercing through the clouds, bathing the scenery in a warm golden light. I can honestly imagine sitting there for hours just watching it!
Is there anything that stood out to you about Astrid’s serene home (and cabin)?!

Not ready too leave Western Norway today? Neither am I! Here are a few other homes I love from the region:
