Design Blogger Profile: Katia and Minna of Nestled In!

We bring you a newly discovered (at least for us, anyway) blog from Finland today, called Nestled In. While perusing the recent list of the top 50 design blogs put out by the Times UK, we were struck by Nestled In, and decided to surf on over. What we saw stopped us in our tracks! We’d be lying if we didn’t say Nestled In is one of our newest favorite blogs…



Started in 2007, the blog began when the lovely Katia and Minna moved in together in December of that year. Wanting to share their journey of decorating and filling the home they share with the rest of the world, they began chronicling their uncanny abilities to find gorgeous wares both in thrift stores and online. When they purchased a home together in 2008, the blog also started to catalogue their new roles of renovators and decorators of a house.




Though there are plenty of blogs out there that feature simple and clean layouts, there’s just something about Nestled In’s look that attracts us so much. The header of the blog is one of the simplest we’ve ever seen: only reading “Nestled In,” and the rest of the page is divided into three columns, with the middle column being full of big pictures and relevant posts. Since Katia and Minna seem to blog about things that they either put in their home or really love, everything featured seems to follow similar tastes—and the color schemes and patterns are beautiful! The colors are mix of natural ones—light blues, wood browns and greens—punctuated with small pops of bright, warm colors.




We even really love the categories that Katia and Minna have set up on the blog. Unlike other blogs, Nestled In features categories like At Home, Green Thumb, Inspiration, Interiors, Nestled In, Products, Projects and more. It makes for convenient and enjoyable searching and browsing. Overall, we just love the feel of Nestled In. It feels warm, clean, simple, loving, fresh and exciting. There is definitely lots of inspiration for your own home, whatever stage of renovating or decorating you are in! We highly recommend you check it out.




And as always, you can also check out some of our previous design bloggers we’ve profiled, like Kim and Jo of Desire to Inspire, Johnathan Lo of Happy Mundane, Victoria Smith of sfgirlbybay, the blogger behind Mer Mag, and Erin Gates of Elements of Style!
