… and change a bit from the Scandinavian style I have shared so often.

What? Already? You may think… she just moved and is already put the switch. Ha, no I did not but I thought it would be fun to show you something else. And you will see the difference immediately. I find that very interesting.

Of course, we are aware of the monochrome and very simple approach on the Nordic Countries, so for me seeing colours and homes filled with bits and treasures is so enchanting.

You know that I like it ‘clean’ but you also know that I found the Scandinavian homes often a little too impersonal and especially too similar. They all look the same. Grey! Mostly… and then you can add the latest details (blankets, table ware and shelves) and voila… your Scandi Castle :)

I am exaggerating. Of course!

But lets have a look into these colourful spaces based in Kent and Sussex:

So much love for books, music and art in this house. Amazing, inspiring and you will probably never stop exploring once you opened the door.

What do you think? Not as uber-stylish and sleek, that is for sure. But more cosy, warm and relaxed… no? An eclectic mix and I will make sure to show you some more in the future…

Give me some time, because there is one thing the Scandinavians are really strong at as well: Taking amazing images for their real estate websites!
