Blog round-up: The Most Popular Home Tours of 2024 | Smart is Beauty

Hej friends! With just a few days to go before the Christmas holidays, it’s time for the big blog round-up!

When creating each post, I carefully select homes that truly capture my heart—but that still means a wonderfully wide variety of styles, locations, and interiors. Looking back, it’s always exciting to see which tours resonated with you the most throughout the year. And this year’s top ten is just as eclectic as ever: from Swedish summer cottages and a snowy cabin in Finland to a colourful and elegant Stockholm apartment.

But the list doesn’t stop there! It also features gems from farther afield, including Igor’s chic Berlin apartment, a vintage-filled cottage in California, and even a dreamy ocean-side retreat in Tasmania.

Ready to dive into the top ten most-loved posts of the year? Let’s start from the bottom and work our way up. Drumroll, please...

9. A charming farmhouse in the southern Swedish countryside

8. A dreamy white vintage-filled cottage in California

7. A dreamy cottage by the ocean

6. Pia's country home in snowy Finland

These beautiful homes are just the tip of the iceberg—there’s so much more to explore in the archives! If you find yourself with a little downtime over the holidays, or you’re craving a peaceful moment filled with inspiration, why not dive in and discover even more treasures?

Have any homes stolen your heart this year—or even in years past? Perhaps one has sparked ideas for your own projects, or maybe a particular detail resonated with you. I’d love to hear about it! Please share in the comments below so we can all revisit!

A heartfelt thank you for being part of the My Scandinavian Home community in 2024. Your positivity, kindness, and enthusiasm have truly made this a wonderful space to share and connect. To everyone who has read my books or given them as a present—thank you so much! I’m deeply grateful and hope they’ve brought joy, inspiration, and maybe even been passed along for others to enjoy too.

I’ll be back on Friday with one final post for the year. Until then, sit tight—just a few more days before we can all relax and savour the holiday break!
