A sense of Christmas is the new ZARA Home Christmas 2022 collection! The new collection from the retail giant has a sense of tradition, elegance and calmness. The collection was photographed in a sober Georgian house that brings a festive feeling, a balance between gathering and intimacy. There are lots of clean lines, warm hues, natural elements blended together with the timeless elegance of classic Holiday styles. The color palette consists of traditional colors green, red and gold. The classic, timeless simplicity of the ZARA Home Christmas 2022 collection is breath of fresh air.

The client’s guesthouse was built in the 1990s and still had it’s original finishes. The casita had so much potential with large windows and a beautiful arched ceiling, but the old carpet, discolored geometric 90s wallpaper, and poor lighting placement distracted from the architecture. The homeowners host friends and family often, so they wanted an updated space that was a relaxing and calming escape for their guests. Since the architecture had an interest of its own, Emily Lauren Interiors decided to pare back to the essentials — raw materials, a simple color palette, a cozy bed, an office area, and a small lounge next to the kitchenette. To keep the space calm and relaxing, they created a warm, monotone color palette and infused texture to create contrast and depth. The casita materials palette includes limewash on the walls and ceilings, white oak floors and floating desk, linen bedding and drapery,…

Most of us are longing for Christmas holidays. And regardless of whether we get to celebrate Christmas together physically or digitally this year, the atmosphere of the Christmas season is special for many. Christmas is slowly but surely approaching, and already now it is creeping into the shops. The Christmas collection at Åhléns goes under two clear themes this winter. One is characterized by nostalgia and looks back to childhood, the more traditional and the world of Nordic fairy tales. The second theme is more stripped down and gives us a Christmas feeling in a modern style. Enjoy it !!!! See also : https://house-diaries.com/scandinavian-christmas-style-by-stylist-anna-truelsen/

Outside, the frost has seriously bitten into the tree branches. The sun sparkles in the fresh snow and against the clear sky the white smoke from the chimneys stands out. Once inside the doors of Anna Truelsen, we are greeted by stove heat, lit candles and the smell of freshly grilled ham. Anna works as a stylist and lives in a country house from the 1930s with her husband Michael and two sons. The family has lived in the house for 12 years, and during this time has slowly but surely renovated room by room. And if there is something that characterizes the old house, it is charm. Especially now, before Christmas, when creative Anna has rolled up her sleeves and styled her own home. Enjoy the tour!!!!

Jennifer studied fashion design, but made the switch to interior styling after working for lifestyle magazines. ‘Colour is my signature, but it’s not about always using the strongest shades, it’s about creating interesting combinations. I draw inspiration from all sorts of references – it could be as simple as clashing shop fronts’ she says. Jennifer is passionate about using colour and composition to create beautiful images. As comfortable on location as in a studio environment she is dedicated to producing the highest quality work whatever the brief. Working predominately in London and with a packed address book of photographers, set builders, PRs, locations, prop houses and transporters to hand, her work as a stylist ranges from producing beautiful editorial pages to working closely with individual designers and multi-national companies, as well as designing and setting up events – thriving on the variety this brings. Enjoy her work then!!!!

Burls are highly figured, natural deformities typically removed from the trunks of trees and discarded before the wood is sawn into lumber. When seen through the eyes of a craftsman, however, such castoffs can become functional works of art. The prototype Kerf Table set is one such example of beauty borne from nature’s anomalies. Each of the ten limited edition tables is created from a slice of a single intact burl that Design Principal Alan Maskin recovered from a Port Townsend, Washington lumberyard. Each unique tabletop highlights the twists and turns of the burl’s raw edge. Kerf cuts create barely-there slots for metal plates, forming the connection for three forged and welded steel legs fabricated by Anvil House in Seattle. The surface of the tables features a hand-rubbed oil finish by Seattle furniture artisan Steve Clark. Maskin designed the tables to be intentionally versatile; appropriate in groups or singularly, in…
