I´ve been thinking about curtains for a while, and with the new grey color in the living room, I´ve finally gotten some curtains up as well. With the big windows in this corner it felt a bit cold and “naked” so I thought now that winter is on its way it would be nice with some curtains.
By the window towards the view, I´ve just hung one curtain to cover the wall on the side – both to soften up the area, but also to cover up some non flattering heating switch and socket. Ideally, I’d hung the curtains all the way up to the ceiling, but since there is a wooden beam in the way on the other side where I have curtains, I chose to have them on the same height.
Towards our neighbour I´ve hung curtains on the whole wall so we can get some more privacy in the evenings if we want to. During daytime I take them aside to get more light in.
Hanging curtains this high certainly give a loungy feel, and I love the new look these curtains gave.
Best of all, everything was on a low budget as well. For the curtains, rails, and gliders etc., I ended up with approx. $85 ( ca. 700 NOK ) in total – not so bad, huh? ( I bought the curtains at Ikea, and the rest at Kid Interiør. )

Very nice! I love the airy feeling. May I ask, where is your bench from? I’m looking for something like that for our hall.
Thank you so much, Ane 🙂 It´s actually a daybed, not a bench. You can find the daybed in my shop here: http://euf.wrm.mybluehost.me/no/produkt/ogk-daybed-natur/
Best,
Nina
Thank you so much! A daybed – even better!
Hi, you have a very beautiful home and I have been inspired to colour my home as well. I have a question regarding your white colour on the walls, lists etc. Do you match your new greige colours with the 0502-Y or the more neutrual white 0500-N? Looiking forward to you answer. Lotta
Thank you so much, Lotta! 🙂
The white color we have in the house is LADY 1624 Letthet:http://www.jotun.com/no/no/b2c/colour-inspiration/colours/interior/2930000704701791_Interior.aspx

Were are are the gliders and rails from? I’m looking for the similar effect but can’t find the right gliders and rails in the netherlands.
Kind regards,
Jody
They are from Kid Interiør ( only in Norway ), but they have rails and gliders at Ikea as well. I actually bought some yesterday for a window downstairs.
Hei
Endelig har jeg også funnet drømmegardinene.
Hva heter gardinene fra Ikea og hvilken farge er det?
Setter stor pris på svar
Mvh
Maria
Så hyggelig da! Gardinene heter Vivian og er i fargen Grå.
Hei Nina, så fint det ble 🙂 Har du navnet på gardinene?
Takk for det Marianne. Gardinene heter Vivian og er kjøpt på Ikea 🙂
VIVAN?
Det stemmer 🙂
Hei 🙂
Jeg lurer på hvordan du har hengt opp disse. Ser ikke noen stang :-/
Katrine
Hei Katrine,
Jeg har kappet til kun en kort stang på det ene vinduet, så gardinen dekker hele stangen. ( jeg kommer aldri til å dra for gardinenen i mot utsikten )
Stengene jeg har brukt er disse: https://www.kid.no/gardiner/gardinoppheng/enkel-gardinskinne/
På gardinen festet jeg 10 stk fingerkroker pr. gardin for å få fine folder øverst: https://www.kid.no/gardiner/gardinoppheng/targa-fingerkroker-hoey/
Husk å kjøpe ekstra med glidere ( jeg brukte 10 stk pr. gardin, men dette kommer an på bredden på gardinen )
Skal du skjøte stengene trenger du skjøtepinner: https://www.kid.no/gardiner/gardinoppheng/avanti-skjoetepinner/

It looks so beautiful, can’t belive they are from IKEA because of the highness. The walls look much higher than normal, as in our home, so the window in our living room is still waiting for the right curtains.
Greetings Kathrin

Loved your decor can you tell me what the
Grey colour is?
Thank you
Linda
Your blog is the best! Would you mind telling me which IKEA curtains you used? Thanks!
Can you tell me the grey wall paint colour
Hi Nina! Love the roof – do you know what kind of panel (finish) and type of wood?
Hej,
Läckra färger, skulle också hemskt gärna vilja veta vilken grå färg du använt!

Such a beautiful room. Would you mind sharing where you got the book/picture shelves from.
Thank you! The picture ledges are from Ikea. I have just painted them in the same color as the wall 🙂
