One of the things that captivates me most about people’s homes is how beautifully different they all are. Some favour calm, minimalist spaces - a serene oasis to unwind in. Others embrace bold colours and playful touches, while some lean into a cosy, homely vibe with layers of texture and candlelight. And of course, there are countless styles in between, each with its own unique personal touch.
This mysig Stockholm apartment falls firmly into the cosy category - and it couldn’t be more perfect for this moment in Sweden. The midsummer sun has quietly slipped away, replaced by fast-moving clouds delivering bursts of rain and hail. Once again, we find ourselves hunkering down, listening to the rhythm of summer showers from the comfort of our homes.
Terez Persson, who describes herself as a lover of interiors, food and pretty things, has created a space that reflects all of these passions. Her home is a warm embrace of earthy tones, soft, tactile textures, flickering candlelight and a crackling fire - a perfect example of Scandinavian interior charm.
Like many Swedes, Terez celebrates the beauty of each season. She arrives home with wildflowers in her bike basket and enjoys simple seasonal treats - juicy, ripe strawberries with yoghurt and a drizzle of honey.
Ready to peek into some of the lovely corners of Terez’s cosy Stockholm home?
So cosy! Do you agree?
I loved all the individual pieces - from the larger rattan chair (I found one like that at a flea market last year) to the coffee table and bed frame - as well as the smaller objects, such as the art, mirror, and collection of shells.
The only modern touches I can spot are the lights (the pleated paper table lamp in the bedroom is actually from H&M Home - I know because I have the same one!). I also spy the Gatto table lamp from Flos and the Formakami pendant.
Did anything catch your eye in Terez’s home?
Here are a few other cosy homes to tour today:
Hannes' cosy Swedish apartment with a yellow kitchen
A cosy Swedish cottage with beams and a fireplace
A Swedish west coast retreat
It’s been a while since I last shared my sitting room - but I still have the Söderhamn sofa from IKEA! So I was really excited to interview the designer behind it for a feature I recently wrote for IKEA.com - you can read it here if you're interested.
Also, there’ll be an extra post tomorrow - yay! I’ll be sharing highlights from my recent press trip to Italy, where I was invited by the bathroom brand Catalano to explore the region’s beautiful ceramics. Do stop by for a read if you get the chance!
Happy Wednesday!
