Nora’s Charming Eclectic Home

I’m not sure if it’s the warm pools of sunlight, the plants, art (some of which casually rests on the floor), or the eclectic mix of furniture (or simply the contribution of everything!) but there’s something truly charming about Nora’s apartment in Cologne, Germany. It’s one of those homes where you could imagine feeling instantly at home the moment you step in the door! Enjoy the tour!

Here’s an idea: different sized wooden chests (source similar vintage ones here*) stacked on top of one another to create extra kitchen storage and a side board!

String lights*, rattan chair* (similar), Bertoia side chair*

Plant watering day in the Nora household! But some plants get to stay (in a Bittergurka plant holder).

House Doctor wall lamp, rug from IKEA, the Zuiver cupid side table* is similar, Line Collection No 05* print by Hein Studio.

The sitting room is possibly my favourite room – doesn’t it look just so warm and inviting?! I love the big windows too.

Mid-century teak side boards / credenzas have been popular for a few years now, plus they’re perfect for vignettes! Etsy* is a great source for similar vintage pieces.

One of the reasons Nora’s apartment works so well is because she makes the most of the height. Look closely and you’ll spot lots of wonderful details too – like the Kay Bojesen monkey* hanging from the shelf!

It took me a while to notice the TV in the picture above – can you see it?!

Aaaaa, all in all, one lovely, cosy home!

Could you imagine rocking about here?

If you’d like to see more, check out Nora’s instagram where she shares daily snaps.

And if you’re up for a little more German apartment inspiration today (now that we’re on a roll….) take a peek at this bright and beautiful loft (I know this was only last week, but I couldn’t resist linking to it again in case you missed it!), a Scandi inspired urban oasis (how fab is that hallway?!) and a relaxed home filled with fab colours.

We’re currently bumping along the narrow, winding rooms of Cornwall, South West England in Scarlett, our rented VW campervan (so if there are any typos in this post you know why!). Feeling a little tired (these rides are way smaller than I’d imagined!) but we’ve had a lot of laughs along the way! If you’d like to get a glimpse check out my stories! It’s such an incredible part of the world.

I hope you have a fab day to couple of days and see you Friday!
