We’ve been loitering around Scandinavia a lot here lately, but I love to see the Scandi style reach far and wide in the world. This beauty of a home in Toronto, Canada is a great example! Owner Elena, a self-confessed ‘cat lady’ and ‘plant Mom’ as well as a digital content creator over at This house 5000 / @thishouse5000, describes her style as a ‘Scandi eclectic mix’. Her home, which she shares with her husband, has been styled using neutrals, interspersed with earthy tones, a wealth of texture and lots and lots of plants! Welcome to Elena’s world!

Art by LRNCE (check out all the art from this Marrakesh based lifestyle brand – it’s wonderful!), rug from Loloi rugs, Bertoia chair*, DIY light fixture made with pendant from IKEA. 

I first came across Elena’s account because of this shower curtain (which I pinned a while back) – isn’t it lovely? I love that her bathroom is relatively simple, yet there’s still a lot going on thanks to the dark grouting, tiled floor and plants. 

I think this might be the third time I’ve shown a loo on My Scandinavian Home ever. No idea why, but I’ve built up my ‘loo confidence’ (LOL) now since the one in Courtney Adamo’s beautiful Byron Bay home became an instagram hit as my most liked photo ever. It really made me smile! I love that Elena has used the cistern in her bathroom as storage but also candles for long, relaxing showers! 

Such a lovely home – striking that perfect balance of pared-back and cosy.

Is there anything that stood out to you?

You can see more pictures of Elena’s home here: This house 5000 / @thishouse5000.

I’d love to visit Canada one day. I often imagine the country to be a kindred spirit with Scandinavia with its vast nature (for those of you who live there / been there – is this true?). My great grandmother was French Canadian too, which has always made me super curious. One day, huh?

Wishing you a lovely day friends!
