That philosophy becomes especially clear in the children’s room, where atmosphere takes priority over aesthetics alone. Rather than filling the space, Jenni focuses on creating a sense of calm. Soft, neutral tones and natural materials form the foundation, creating a timeless, serene atmosphere that remains inviting to play and imagination. “I want the space to feel warm and safe, but also leave room for creativity,” she says. Her appreciation for antiques and craftsmanship is evident here as well, with carefully chosen pieces that reflect the same thoughtful approach as the rest of the home.

Playtime, however, remains refreshingly simple. Ellie gravitates toward dolls, books, and soft toys, often immersed in imaginative role play and costumes, while Lilian is already following closely behind. There is a shared joy in small, familiar objects—proof that children rarely need excess to feel inspired.

Functionality is just as important when it comes to furniture. Jenni favours timeless, well-made pieces—particularly in wood—that can withstand everyday life and evolve alongside the children. Adaptability plays a key role; Ellie’s current bed, for instance, can later be transformed into a bunk bed when Lilian is ready to share the room. “It’s important that the furniture grows with the children,” Jenni notes, emphasising longevity over trends.
