This German Homestead Is A Nature Lover's Dream: Let's Take A Tour

Minimalism meets playfulness in Sandra Lörch's home in Cuxhaven, on the North Sea coast of Germany. She and her partner Tom fill their space (@mimameise on Instagram) with funky details and odes to the natural world for unique, exciting decor. Here, Sandra, Tom, and their three very photogenic cats show us around the European escape.

Naturalness, sustainability, individuality.

Most of our furniture is vintage or secondhand, purchased from the flea market or eBay.

With the exception of a few wintry little things, everything remains as it is. I don't really make the furnishings depending on the seasons.

Our cozy sofa, because it is big enough for us and our cats.

The large wardrobe in the hallway—in which all our jackets, coats, and backpacks are stowed—is our oldest piece of furniture. It's from the Art Nouveau period around 1900. Our latest piece of furniture is the bench in the living room.

Good music coupled with some car noise from outside. (Cobblestone pavement is nice looking but inconvenient as a road material!) Our flat usually smells like coffee, yummy food, and incense sticks.

We have many houseplants that are good for the indoor climate. The old, original wooden elements such as the wooden floor from the year of construction (1904) and the large old windows, which let in a lot of light, spread a lot of peace and well-being, too.

About 25 years ago, as a teenager, I bought Björk's album Debut and put the corresponding poster on the wall. A few years ago, I printed the cover on a large canvas.
