Someone once told me that there are two seasons in Sweden: winter and July. I know it was said in jest, but sometimes I do wonder! In honour of a chilly spring day, I thought I’d share some beautiful pictures from the cosy home of Anna Kvarnström in central Örebro, a few hours West of Stockholm. Simply decorated, her home has a wonderful sense of calm thanks to the warm neutral tones and layers of texture. On sunny spring days, the balcony doors are thrown open to welcome in the fresh air – while blankets lie in wait. If you’re looking to enjoy a little spring hygge Swedish style, here are ten lovely ideas to feel inspired by!  

1. A simple linen tablecloth like this striped one adds immediate warmth to a space as well as a sense of occasion to an everyday tea break! This striped tablecloth* is similar. 

2. Cream coloured cushions add a wonderful softness to hard chairs – and mean you can enjoy sitting around the table for way longer! This spring it’s all about the texture with lush, tactile, raised patterns (also seen in rugs – I love the ones by Cappelen Dimyr). This cushion is from H&M Home. 

3. Vintage tea plates bring an immediate sense of nostalgia to teatime – and these ones are so pretty!

4. It may be spring – but it’s still a bit nippy in the air (at least in Scandinavia!), light coloured linen blankets are ideal for the changing season. I love this one*. 

5. Linen curtains* are idea for inviting the spring sunshine in, yet adding warmth and sound dampening to a space. Plus, they look so pretty swaying in the breeze. 

6. Pluck delicate spring flowers on your way home and dot them around your home in little vases. 

7. Sheepskins are often considered a winter accessory – however, the treatable quality means they work equally well in spring. 

8. Candles are a given – why not invest in scented candles with subtle spring fragrances. 

9. White linen bedding* looks really fresh in spring. Add cosy cushions and a blanket to ensure you stay toasty until the balmy summer weather arrives!

What a lovely home! Anna has such a natural, effortless sense of style and it feels both fresh and cosy at the same time – a perfect balance! See more of her beautiful living space and summer house over at @annakvarnstrom.
