LIFE AT HOME WITH
THE YOUNG FAMILY
A HOME IN EVERYDAY LIFE
We visit Sandra, who lives in Halmstad with her family. Currently, her Scandinavian-style home is largely about socializing, coziness, and play. A home in everyday life, where life simply goes on.
– WHERE YOUR LIFE IS
A HOME WHERE CHILDREN AND COZINESS ARE THE FOCUS
Right now, life is filled with small and big moments at Sandra's home with her family. Maternity leave is in full swing, and she enjoys cozy moments with her newborn son Liam and big brother Frans, as well as wonderful days with creative projects and spending time with loved ones.
Everyday life hasn't changed much since Sandra and her partner became parents, but the compromises have definitely increased. She still goes with her instincts and chooses what she finds beautiful and creates a cozy feeling when it comes to interior design, while her partner ensures they also think practically. Sometimes he has to put a stop when she's drawn to something that might not be entirely optimal for the toddler years – but most often, they find a solution that works for the whole family.
“
It is important for me that the home is lived in. If something spills or breaks, it is part of everyday life. At the same time, we try to teach the children to take care of their things, without making the home feel too rigid or restrictive. We want them to play, have fun, and cuddle as much as they want.

THE DINING AREA IS THE HEART OF THE HOME
When Sandra and her family chose furniture for the dining room and living room, the choice naturally fell on Rowico Home. They love the Scandinavian and timeless feel of the furniture.
– The furniture is so solid, well-made, and at the same time very beautiful, says Sandra.
Sandra often says that their dining area is the heart of the home. The large windows let in beautiful light, and the fantastic Brooklyn dining table from Rowico Home, together with the Ami chairs, has become a natural gathering point for the family. Here they gather not only for meals but also for cozy moments where they bake together and create beautiful memories.
A LIVING ROOM FOR BOTH RELAXATION AND PLAY
In addition to the dining area, the family loves to be in their living room, a place for both relaxation and togetherness. Here, they have created a harmonious atmosphere with the Peyton sofa and the Marsden and Arran coffee tables, which they have mixed to create contrasts with different materials. Under the sofa and coffee tables lies the beautiful Auckland rug, which ties the room together and creates an inviting feel. One of the family's favorite moments is when they curl up on the sofa and read books together – a moment of calm and closeness in everyday life.
STYLISH AND PRACTICAL CAN BE COMBINED WITH CHILDREN
For parents of young children who want a practical home with a stylish design, Sandra believes it is important to choose furniture that is timeless, durable, and sturdy – this makes the home feel both beautiful and able to withstand the small trials of everyday life. That is why many furniture choices in the house fell on Rowico Homes' range.
In the living room, Sandra and her partner have chosen coffee tables with rounded edges to reduce the risk of small accidents when the children play. At the dining table, which is made of solid wood and can be sanded down if an accident occurs, they have also chosen chairs with wipeable seats – a detail that simplifies life when small sticky fingers are at play. These thoughtful choices allow the family to enjoy their home without worrying about spills and marks.
Finally, Sandra adds:
- That Rowico Home is also a family business from Halmstad makes it even more enjoyable. It feels nice to furnish the home with furniture from a local Swedish company with its heart in the right place.
