In the spirit of Ramadan, we are feeling inspired by the true harmony that the holy month brings. Ramadan is a time to reflect and meditate, to appreciate and come together with family and friends. It’s a time to really slow down, with many people gravitating towards staying even more in the comfort of their own homes- gathering […]
Kährs Oak Estoril, named after the opulent coastal town on the beautiful Portuguese Riviera: a place where rustic meets contemporary, where rugged nature meets linear architecture. Inspired by the light and natural tones of narrow alleyways, cobbled stone, sandy beaches, crisp ocean air and golden sun rays on a spring afternoon.

Where keywords are natural, minimalist and tranquil. We recommend […]

Inspired by the colours of a wintery landscape, we are loving the combination of suave cream-white tones with wintery green accents. Try layering different textures and materials in similar tones, as well as the occasional brass detail, creating an understated boho-elegance. Low maintenance leafy green plants and other rustic materials in wood, concrete and linen will add a natural […]

This lofty apartment in Stockholm by Historiska Hem boasts big windows and an industrial feeling that we love. The deco has been kept minimalist but with plenty of vintage elements. The home is cozy despite its bare, industrial base, with the help of the white-washed wood floor and a combination of textures, giving a very […]
We absolutely love the look of this loft apartment. Creating a loft feeling means keeping the decor fairly minimalist, while using diverse raw materials for a textural and tactile variety. Create contrasts with a common denominator – preferably selecting materials with a slight vintage essence to them that converted old factory spaces often have to them. The […]
We’re currently seeing an updated interpretation of 70’s retro-glam interiors with rich petrol blues and golden accents juxtaposed with materials and textures in cold neutral tones. For example, the combination of a petrol-blue velour sofa with brass legs, a greige wood floor, crispy white walls and gold deco details. To achieve the look, select Kährs Vinga by our new Götaland […]

That’s it, we’ve officially fallen in interior-love. The amazing team behind Marie Laurent Architecture have done it once again- taken a proverbial “ugly duckling” (or in this case, standard-made apartment); stripped it down; built it up and turned it into the beautiful swan that is this designer-heaven-light-loving home. We have worked with the Marie Laurent Architecture team in […]
Living in Dubai, we’re fortunate to be in a part of the world that lies between beautiful tropical jungles and cultured urban cities. So why not reflect a combination of both styles in our homes?

We absolutely love this home in Gothenburg, Sweden with its clean lines and airy feel. We especially love the clean colour scheme of this home, where it’s almost as though the full greyscale tones have been utilised – ranging from whites, to soft greiges (i.e. the combo of gray and beige), to dark slates and nearly-black […]
Nursery rooms are very intimate spaces, a space where your children can wind down to rest, first place they wake up, a place where play and use their imagination. Therefore, the way you design your child’s nursery and room plays a big role in their well-being. We are currently feeling really inspired by muted pastel […]

For example, Spanish brand Mango just released a new campaign called “New Metallics” starring supermodel Karlie Kloss that we’re loving, featuring lots of metallic shine, layers and texture. Swedish fashion-house Acne has also released a metallic silver version of […]
I recently read on Trendenser’s blog that a wood floor is like the shoes of a home, where – as in the world of fashion – your outfit isn’t complete without the right pair. That it doesn’t matter how nice you dress or decorate if you have the wrong pair of shoes – or wrong floor. I find the […]
The owner of this Cayan (Infinity) Tower apartment in Dubai Marina has aimed for clean and sharp classic-modern interiors for their home. A strong masculine feel in strict monochrome tones.

After extensive renovations, they have managed to recreate and maintain the […]
This lovely apartment in central Stockholm is not more than a large studio apartment, but with some creative styling, these owners have been able to transform the home into an airy 1 bedroom apartment.

We are in love. The combination of colours and textures in this Berlin apartment is so incredibly sophisticated yet edgy, deep and dark.

That concrete wall in the living room is everything! It gives the room a rough and industrial feeling, which contrasts nicely with the soft wooden floor, Kährs Casa – a rustic, handscraped natural Oak wood floor with impressive 2.8 meter long planks that contain knots, cracks and a comfortable handscraped surface.

What do you get when you combine romantic and industrial elements? Industromance. And that is exactly what we’re loving about Yvonne Koné‘s newly opened flagship store in Copenhagen, Denmark, designed by Studio Oliver Gustav. The nude pink combined with the raw, gray-hued wooden floors and iron details are the sophisticated elements that compose the subtle beauty of the store. Like the […]
This apartment represented by Fantastic Frank in central Stockholm is a beautiful portrayal of perfect feminine interiors. The home not only looks great, but also makes excellent use of the apartment’s small m2 space. Whenever you have a smaller home, it’s always a great idea to decorate in uniform, suave (e.g. pastel, nature) tones in order to visually de-clutter […]

Blue is reliable and responsible. It seeks peace and tranquility above everything else, promoting both physical and mental relaxation. Blue reduces stress – creating a sense of calm, relaxation and order. ♥ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
When in doubt about combining colours, I always say it’s best to look to nature for inspiration. And why shouldn’t we? After all, nature is associated with harmony for a reason. Vibrant, manmade colours might be great for accents, but for a base that you will never tire of and that will certainly never go […]
This minimalistic apartment in Berlin, Germany is a real beauty. We love the high ceiling, neutral interiors and large windows, all adding to the overall airy feel.

When searching for interior design inspiration for kids rooms, it is highly likely that you’ll find most images show anything from timeless soft pastel to scandi-cool monochrome colour schemes, with one common denominator: wood flooring. There’s a reason for that. Natural wood flooring is absolutely the best kind of flooring you could choose for your […]
Here is one of those small apartments you dream about. At a mere 29 sqm, the use of the few square meters is completely optimal. We are especially loving the way raw OSB (oriented strand board) and oak are combined, especially on the stairscase. The architect has cleverly used OSB board to structure and optimize […]
Decorating in neutrals is beautiful but can also be hard to achieve. When working with neutral colors (gray, brown, white, beige), it is important to add plenty of living plants for a space to be balanced and not feel too flat. Green plants make any living room more welcoming. A green plant and a splash of green […]
All white.. everything. The key to successfully designing a space in an all-white scheme is layering. By layering different materials, textures and shades of white together you essentially create depth, which is the biggest factor to consider in order to avoid the space falling flat and feeling clinical. We are especially loving romantic boho-chic homes […]
Here’s another example of how industrial elements with mute colours and raw organic materials such as cotton, wood and jute combine together beautifully to create visual magic.

Part of Kährs Harmony Collection, this floor is reminiscent of […]
Greige ˈgrā(zh) A colour between grey and beige, closely akin to taupe; Unfinished; not fully processed; neither bleached nor dyed.

This combination of soft grays and dirty beige earth tones, is […]
Is there a better description for this turn-of-the-century attic apartment than rustic monochrome?
