THE RESULT
This house blends relaxed Scandinavian charm with playful, eclectic touches, creating a unique summer retreat. Sunny yellow tones are mixed with bright pastels, and straw hats hang ready to be picked up at any moment. There’s plenty of space for summer essentials like wakeboards and beach bags, making it clear that this is a house designed for the season.
Simplicity is at the heart of the design, with clean lines and minimalistic furniture. Yet the space is rich with personal details that add character—whether through vintage decor, statement art pieces, or rough textures.
Natural materials such as oiled wood floors, plastered walls, and coarse textiles help tone down the vibrant elements, giving the home a balance between warmth and subtlety.Unique accents, like colorful axes, bright textiles, and retro lighting, seamlessly mix with traditional Scandinavian design. This creates an eclectic yet cohesive atmosphere where bold, artistic statements meet a soft, calming ambiance.
The space feels lived-in yet carefully curated, combining functionality with artistic expression.Above all, the house evokes a sense of leisure and the sea at every turn, maintaining a welcoming, creative retreat where relaxation and playfulness are always in harmony.
