New traditions

Welcome in some inspiration straight from the Swedish countryside. Old rural traditions, the paintings of the late 19th-century Swedish artists Carl and Karin Larsson, and folkloric-style prints in a bold palette, paired with wood finished in rustic shades. Let's take in some country cottage energy this season!

Two HEMNES daybeds are placed side-by-side in a yellow room. Both are decorated with patterned cushions and bedlinen, adding country style inspiration.

Cushions in charming, traditional Swedish style patterns, a mix of muted and bold colours and light natural birch come together for a homely look that could be straight out of a fairytale. From restful winter evenings to warm midsummer days, this cheerful, timeless style fills the home with warmth and character, all year round.

“This collection is built on inspiration from old handicraft from different parts of the countryside of Sweden – Jämtland, Hälsingland, and Dalarna.”
