Borta bra men hemma bäst (away is nice, but home is best) so the Swedish saying goes – and it was nice to wake up in my own bed this morning! Even so, I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve shared a bohemian style home (and I do like to try to shake things up a little!), so today we’re all heading to Berlin (virtually of course – which is a pity as it’s such a great city) for a tour of the relaxed vintage-inspired home of . Founder of , a company selling sustainable, solvent-free bedrails, Melanie loves to decorate her “1900 family beletage” with one off vintage finds, mid-century pieces and an abundance of plants. The result is a lovely relaxed home with clever ideas around every corner!
Baskets are a great way to add a decorative touch to the wall and work as a great sound dampener too – there are a load of beautiful ones here*.
are still going strong in the world of interiors – which is great as they provide so much storage as well as a great surface for art, lamps, books etc. I love how Melanie has hung lighting from the shelving above – it’s a great way to shine a light on the pretty objects and also means the wiring can be hidden behind books.
I rarely think about placing furniture diagonally but by doing so, Melanie has been able to fit a much bigger sofa into the room so the whole family can kick back. I bet there’s a tussle for the chaise-longue section (there always is in my home! Do you find the same?).
Thank you so much for inviting us into your lovely home Melanie!
I love the personal feel in this space, how about you?!
Other Berlin faves:
Have you been to Berlin? it’s fine of those cities with the most amazing vibe – and there’s just so much to see and do. Hmmm, now I’m dreaming about a return visit. Wonder if I can find an opportunity?
Have a lovely, sunshine-y day!
