A Magical Hygge Holiday

A couple's dream home comes alive as they celebrate their first Christmas.

Vibeke and Petter have found the country cottage farmhouse they've dreamed of after years of looking. Now, they've decorated for Christmas for the very first time, making every corner feel cozy. Vibeke has a special talent for creating magic out of simple materials that is inspiring and attainable. "I like to tinker with things and create something out of very little," she says.

Through the charming windows of the glass veranda, you can see the twinkle of many small lights. You can make out fir branches, wreaths and a warm atmosphere. As you get closer, you'll see a rustic board with saffron buns steaming cups and a beautiful centerpiece on the table. Vibeke's beautiful still Life displays and stunning tables are another forte. On Instagram, she has thousands of followers from around the world who are inspired by her at @vibekedesign. She stands out among interior accounts, drawing you into a dream world through her photos. Today, she receives interior design and photography assignments both at home and abroad, and she loves to let her creativity flow. "When I get into that bubble, I really enjoy myself. My favorites are natural materials, flowers and recycled materials," she says.
