A serene Norwegian space in monochrome and nudes

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's the weekend - woooop! But before we all shoot off, let's head to Norway for today's home tour. This space belongs to Nina Holst of <a href="http://stylizimoblog.com/" target="_blank">Stylizimo</a> blog. Nina moved home last year and since her <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/01/guest-post-ninas-beautiful-norwegian.html" target="_blank">previous home</a> was so fab and included this famous <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2014/02/tuesday-diy-fab-walk-in-wardrobe-on.html" target="_blank">walk-in-wardrobe</a>, I've been eagerly awaiting to see what she was going to do with the new pad. And it certainly doesn't disappoint! Nina has stuck to her signature black, white and nude colour scheme and played with the beautiful light. All the shots of this serene, minimalist home have been taken by Nina, and she's also a talented artist (this is her <a href="http://stylizimoblog.com/its-a-big-one/" target="_blank">latest painting</a>), stylist (love <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/10/norwegian-meets-danish-in-this-very.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this office</a>) and <a href="http://www.stylizimo.com/store/browse#.VMtWYsYXpFs" target="_blank">store owner</a>. Are there no end to this busy girls talents?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghlbBiU6ZZgJBSnSOR1NUNkdqFtYHz7TrRZAGrA2Y3OPaUVbMryNDSGTP_Ft6u2fbOSoA_x2jtk9z28Nra-xTW0rBiQW501IlJTLCyZu24tYmECKK1ydxIsXb-jsmEaaqAXWcEKpybcz12/s1600/styl2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A serene norwegian space for the weekend

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's the weekend - woooop! Any great plans? To me weekends are for kicking back and getting away from it all (<i>OK, and the odd glass of wine</i>). And I'm sure I could do both of these in this beautiful Norwegian space, given the chance! Looking out over a Norwegian fjord, Hilde and Kristian Eriksen designed the home from scratch and decorated the interior in white, shades of grey and warm light wood. The furniture is a mix of modern design and antiques.  And the result is a serene, warm, light-filled home. Oh how I would love to spend my weekend here, how about you?!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ABxNZKcCcJJ6PR7gyV7dr4IvdlxxF9VWSp_CDkQWPlFv0o57eS2TxyPRCNLsPWEgMfdihNpwsB5oRPuy29vhRqSoaC8sja9MWMlMg-HYstGUyTpjZKPRDKWhj2_eQ32n7zSi9Or__0Lc/s1600/nor3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

How do you bring the outside into your home?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! I hope you're having a great start to the week? At the weekends we always try to escape for a day. Whether that's a walk along a beach, hiking in the forest or simply getting away from it all. How about you? When it comes to the home, I love to see the surrounding nature reflected within. This styling by norwegian duo <a href="http://kvistbloggen.blogspot.se/" target="_blank">Kirsten Visdal </a>and Lisbeth Nilsson for <a href="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/news/180/33/Arktisk" target="_blank">Interior Magasinet</a> is a great example.  Sheepskin throws, logs for the fire, a branch from a tree and cushions bearing cute sheep faces come together to create a calm and cosy space close to nature, nordic style.

An eclectic family home in Norway

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I love to mix things up a little here on My Scandinavian Home. This week it's been mainly about the contemporary monochrome home with crisp, clean lines. It's definitely time for some colour, it's the weekend after all!
