What do you get when you blend Scandinavi­an style with Bohemian décor?

-

A clean, simple style exploding with color and natural elements. Scandi-boho is a favorite style of German-based lifestyle blogger and Instagram influencer Christel Harnisch of Pomponetti. The name “Pomponetti” suggests colorful pom-poms and describes Christel’s magical use of color perfectly.

What Christel’s followers may not know is that she didn’t realize her Scandinavi­an style of living until misfortune struck. She explains: “We were living in an old rented farmhouse until a letter of terminatio­n fluttered into the house in 2013. The farmhouse was to be demolished and replaced by a new building. What looked like a catastroph­e in the beginning turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After a long search, we found our 1920s forever home.”

Christel’s posts are filled with gorgeous images showcasing her beautiful home, outdoor she-shed, flower gardens and her renowned German recipes. She also has a love for photograph­y and shares her talents with 31.3K followers worldwide. When asked how to describe her niche style, Christel explains: “I love Scandinavi­an design mixed with farmhouse country, a little boho and industrial elements.” Bright white is the foundation for walls and seating, along with limed wood or rattan, natural materials, fur accessorie­s in neutral or gray tones, and accents of discreet pink.

There’s always something fun and informativ­e happening on Christel’s blog. For instance, Christel’s showstoppi­ng floral bouquets are a weekly favorite among her followers. In the summer months, she picks stems from her own flower garden and makes arrangemen­ts for every occasion that become tutorials. In addition, Christel loves to bake and shares beloved German recipes passed-down for generation­s. Christel’s hope is to inspire her followers to be authentic and let themselves follow their personal dreams, and most of all, to have faith in the impossible.
