Inside Beata Heuman's fairytale Swedish farmhouse | Living with Style
‘I grew up here on the farm. In a way it was relatively isolating so I had to entertain myself, which I think has formed the basis of my creativity,” says the interior and product designer Beata Heuman, 40, speaking at the holiday cottage she has recently finished renovating on her parents’ farm in Landskrona, southern Sweden. “I was always thinking up stories and going into different worlds in my imagination and I think that has affected how I work now.”
Today, her playful use of pattern and whimsical, dreamlike designs have made her a star of the interiors world. You’re probably familiar with her own house in Hammersmith, shared extensively by design lovers on social media or, indeed, one of the homes she has helped create for clients such as the model Adwoa Aboah. Indeed, with 250,000 followers, the Instagram feed of the native Swede is a veritable feast of products she has designed, from club chairs with animal feet to salt pigs that look like monsters, as well as her work on houses big and small.
Now for the first time, Beata is opening the doors of the early 18th-century farmhouse that she has renovated for herself and her family to enjoy.

The transition from the doll house to the girls room was so good that, for one moment, I thought that was a closeup from a part of the dollhouse.
Me too!
Yes!
And me! Very clever.
Same haha
I did as well.
Delightful house, delightful tour. Glad she mentioned the slightly over-scale wallpaper in the child's room -- very interesting affect. Love the use of color and pattern. Delightful, comfortable, livable. Charming too.
Yes. It is spot on. I didn’t appreciate til she said it. Just thought it was pretty. But the perspective really changed as soon as she explained the purpose. She’s brilliant.
It's such a nice effect. They did look like they were sitting inside a dollshouse. So cute!
yes very clever
When they first showed it, I thought it WAS a room in the dollhouse! It fooled me!
Don't worry, the damage has been done in terms of the "Rotten" mainstream media. The big tabloids and big TV channels are haemorrhaging money (too big & too expensive). Lets face it,. their journalism and editorial management are prehistoric and run by dinosaur's and no one tune's into these UK TV channels anymore and even greater satisfaction, nobody buys newspapers nor read them online at all... Goodbye mainstream news corporations.
I felt so relaxed and comfortable watching this. Her home is perfect. It’s cozy and so subtle but with tons of character. Wonderful.
Very sweet home, must be difficult to leave after visiting to go back to their regular home! TFS
@@serenakoleno9338 I guess her regular home is very beautiful aswell :)
So inspiring that a childhood full of imagination would result in such a stunning home full of memories. I love her attention to detail and the way she has a story for everything. So thoughtful.
This home is amazing-so cozy and colorful. I love her designs and what a sweet family. I had a dollhouse as a child too and it insored my love for design.
As soon as I saw "Beata Heumann" I knew I'd have to watch it. Her designs are always so whimsical in a delightful, soothing way. They never disappoint!
YES! BETTER HUMAN HAS SUCH A NICE HAUS
Love the wallpaper in the dining room all of her mothers favorite flowers in bloom at once! 🌸
I couldn’t tell at first if the last room was a close up of a doll house room or a real room in the house so the effect she was going for with the wallpaper really worked!!
Whimsical and simple. Loved the dolls house!! Inspired me to make one like that for my great niece. The dining room walls and the girls bedroom embroidered wallpaper are beyond magical!
I too would like to live in a whimsical fantasy land like this 🌸
Perhaps the most beautiful home I have ever seen. The color and texture combinations are astounding.
I’m so in love with this beautiful, whimsical home. Love Swedish decor 🧡
The wallpapers are amazing. This was a lovely house tour. Thank you!
Such a charming, open, fresh n well lived beautiful house.. love the positive vibes of the house n people living in it.. ❤❤
My best friend Angie and I made everything handmade for our dollhouses. It was magical and creativity is so important for children.
We need more rich people with an actual good test like this lady and less impact from the Kardashians
The word stunning doesn’t even begin to cover what I feel for this house. The dining room is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Bravo!
I love all the whimsical colour and pattern play in this home.
Comfort and style that makes you feel like you would not want to leave to be anywhere else..❤..the colours are all beautiful..⭐️
I love her home and how gorgeous are the grounds? So nice to see all the color and patterns used and that they’ve kept so much of the original wood and restored it if they couldn’t. I’m so tired and bored of all the taupe, grey, beige and tan and the ripping out of all the original cabinetry and molding s and the like that you see so often in the US. The children’s room is stunning. Love that wallpaper, my gosh. So lovely. Her old doll house! No wonder she became a designer. So cool.
So beautiful house. I read about her in the book "British designers at home".
What a wonderful dreamy house! Love the wallpaper in the girls room!
Such a sweet, nostalgic house! The wallpapers are so beautiful! The embroidered one just blew my mind. I like the fact that you can see through so many rooms if you open the doors, quite handy if you have toddlers.
Imagination brought to reality is what life is all about. Really want this life to be as idyllic as it looks❤.
The house is beautiful, but more than that are your lovely girls. They look so happy.
Tell Beata, thank you for sharing her life. Very lovely, humble and inspiring!❤
Delightful. The wallpaper is fascinating. 💗
What an enchanting home! I absolutely love it inside and out.
What a visual feast !
Beata is so talented and creative - thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful tour!
the house is beautiful. and big. Makes you think about those big strong families who used to live here in the old times. I loved the wallpaper in the little girls' room, absolutely unique. Just one thing which I was a bit surprised to see the bathroom, meaning the toilet and bath in the same room, meanwhile there is a lot of space in the house. Must have been amost happy childhood at this farm!
amazing job! I particularly loved how you took inspiration from Mary Poppin's Banks children's room for your kids as well as play with the scale of the wallpaper flowers, it really does look like a dollhouse! well done!
I love the charm, personal touches and colors of her home. The sofa fabric is so beautiful and the red trim on all of the houses adds character.
I just found your channel and I very happy. I think it’s marvelous you’re living in the house you grew up in. I love the toile/blue willow bedroom and your daughter’s bedroom is so adorable as are the. The embroidered wallpaper is very pretty and unique. I looked forward to seeing more of your decorating style
This was a perfect home tour this Sunday morning as I welcome fall. Lovely home.

Wonderful home, love every room, filled with exquisite furnishings and objects, so beautiful!

One JOLLY playful house to grow up in for those beautiful kids !!! The wallpapers were my favourite and your views of the gardens are divine !!! ❤ Thank you Ms. Heuman for the lovely idyllic farm house tour . Loved it ❤
It's a beautiful house in a lovely area, neither of which I'm going to have, ever. I'm glad that somebody is happy taking care of it and appreciates it.
Charming. Does not look contrived, but joyfully put together.
Stunning. Amazing that it can be so beautiful and interesting while being relaxing and welcoming all at the same time, without feeling overdone. So lovely.
I loved every minute of this tour. The home is so charming and welcoming. I especially loved the dollhouse. Our childhood pleasures follow us throughout life. How wonderful that Beata can pass on her childhood memories to her own girls who, by the way, look very happy. 💞
A magical house!!! To say nothing of that necklace 😊😊😊
Charming Pretty home in the forest. So lovely. It was relaxing to watch. So much creativity in this home as well. Just delightful....
So charming and original~!
Especially loved the artwork in the hall and the unusual combination of colors. If I could use just one word to sum it all up, it would be "delightful". Thank you for the tour!
That is Scandinavian design! Love it.
Lovely swedish farm house!
I love it !
This is my dream, to live in a house like this, in the country side - close to the water =)
Love it!
