This week I am joined by gorgeous Maja, who lives in Croatia. She's Mama of two, wife of one, and runs a wonderful business with her partner called pinch • toys - handmade products for kids, which all makes for one lucky woman!
Maja! Hello and welcome! Thanks for agreeing to let us snoop into your gorgreous home! How would you describe your interior style?
Maja! Hello and welcome! Thanks for agreeing to let us snoop into your gorgreous home! How would you describe your interior style?
I would say it's minimalistic with homey
feeling - a mixture of clean lines, wood and mostly white with touches of black
and grey. And lots of diy's!
Let's start
in the living room, what is your favourite thing in here?
It has to be few things: the open space with a
view of the hallway and stairs, natural light and the big exit to terrace.
Although, it's the only room in the house that screams for finishing touches. We
miss some details and a sofa, but for now we still love hanging out on the
floor with the girls. The room is not very representative at the moment but I
have a little corner for my work, so I actually really enjoy spending time here
as I use it both to work and play.
Favourite thing in the kitchen?
My favourites here are black chalkboard wall,
and the worktops cause I like functional space. The kitchen was very important to me
and it was our biggest investment when we were moving in. I find it the most
important part of the home and we definitely use it the most because we love to
cook. For the color I've chosen white that is fresh, eternal and easy to clean.
I love the chalk board paint idea! Your
bedroom:
I'm a big sleeper, so the bedroom is
definitely my favourite! We don't have a bed but only a mattress and we love it. Super comfortable! For my side
of the bed I use a big box instead of a night stand as I'm crazy for the
storage – can't get enough of it! Also I'm a big fan of lamps, so I always use small
lighting to create the atmosphere, especially in the bedroom. The things I love the most are diy hanger and
the grid board which we just put up recently. It really gave the room a touch
of warmth though it's very industrial.
The grid is such a cool idea!! I might have to steal that for our next project! Now onto the girls
bedrooms:
We have two smaller rooms for the girls on the
upper floor. Katja is the older one and next year she will
be a primary schooler, so we have already bought her a big table which she adores, and
I'm a big fan of her bed with big drawers for storing all the extra bedding. Greta's nursery is really basic. After she was
born I really tried to embrace the pink which I added in details in both of
their rooms. I've chosen the soft pink and it really goes well with the soft
grey half painted walls. My favourite thing about both rooms is the calmness.
Bathroom:
Here, I love the black glass sliding doors that
are mostly decorated with tiny fingerprints! It's a very minimalistic bathroom with
the combination of black and off white tiles plus the open shower.
What
are you inspired by when you shop for your home?
Mostly by Nordic design. When I was little and
once dreamed of my home, I used to steal my fathers AD magazines. Now, as a big
fan of interiors, I find my inspiration on pinterest and instagram. I could
spend hours just watching beautiful homes, especially kids rooms!
Any
brands you'd like to claim your undying love for, or any new brands you'd like?
Well, the most of our furniture is Ikea cause
of the price, design and availability combination, but I really love and admire
Prostoria, Hay, Eames, Hem, Kartell and Muuto.
Finally:
What's on for wish list?
As I'm crazy for changing I always have
something on the wish list. And then I dream and dream. But I do want new
dining chairs. And if certain someone thinks it's too much, he can always buy
me a Hay feather duster haha!
Thanks so much for the interview! Your home is absolutely stunning! I will leave you all with some more snaps of Maja's amazing minimalist haven!
Bravoo,wish all the Best
