Home tour: A Charming, Rustic House in the Genoa Hills
Why, hello there! Sorry for posting a little late today. I’ve been busy launching a 30 Day Home Love challenge on Instagram with Holly Becker this morning. We hope it will bring a little light to everyone’s day and help to make our homes a brighter place! Please do come and join in if you fancy it! SO, on with today’s tour. And I thought we could take a peek inside the beautiful rustic home of Sarah Tognetti in the hills of Genoa, Italy today. Interior stylist Sarah and her family enjoy a slow pace of life with the beautiful Ligurian mountains and woodland on their doorstep. Their country home is filled with natural touches, raw materials and earthy tones. Fresh in-season flowers and plants also help to bring nature indoors. Welcome to Sarah’s cosy world!

The kitchen has a really Scandinavian feel to it, don’t you think? I love the open wood shelving lined with jars of pasta, pulses and rice – they add a really cosy touch.

A vintage dresser in the kitchen has been painted in a soft grey from Farrow & Ball and filled with bowls, baskets, tins, glasses, kitchen towels and other necessities!

Look closely at this beautiful space and you’ll spot exposed wood beams over the window (I missed these the first-time round), which add a lovely rustic touch to the room.

Pick up similar factory lighting here*.

Sarah shared this picture in the #30dayhomelove challenge on Instagram today as her favourite room. I can totally see why, it’s somewhere cosy where everyone in the home can gather. There’s also a great wood burning stove which can be fired into action on chillier days. So toasty!

There’s so much to love about the master bedroom – the whitewashed wood cladding, the linen curtains, the plants….. But also, if you have a sloped ceiling, putting in a dummy wall like this is a great way to optimise space.

Look what we have here! My book The Scandinavian Home! What an honour that my interior book has been a source of inspiration for Sarah. And I see it’s in great company too!

Such a beautiful home, don’t you think? 
Is there anything in particular that stood out to you? 
Sarah’s instagram feed is really beautiful too – if you don’t already follow her, it’s a must! 
If you’re in the mood for more mountain / hill home inspiration today, make yourself cosy and take a peek at these charming spaces: 
Sending lots of love and hugs to Italian readers and all today.
