Trendey was born three years ago. To be exact 3 years and 9 days ago – it first saw light on August 20th 2009. Lots and lots of interior design nerdery has flowed under the bridge since. In 2009 I was on the hunt for an apartment in Stockholm and my sister Henen looked for [...]
It’s time! Again! To say a few words about what IKEA is up to in their new catalogue. It’s all about ideas, they say.

I painted it ‘tie white’ and the new handles are made of the following: A vintage leather [...]
abinets and chests are the ultimate home decor items. The paramount pieces of furniture. Don’t you think? It’s highly useful and can add so much interest, style and character….I’ve tried to collect the chest, cabinets, etc we’ve featured during the years (hey, Trendey is turning 2 years old in August!) into an own category. When [...]

In 2011, we love things retro, calling on 50s and 70s mainly it seems, but all decades from 70s and further back are having a groovy revival.
