Visiting Silvia Križanová

This time we visited a place where green tea smells and children's laughter sounds. We were invited to her home by a mother, businesswoman and former model, known on Instagram under the nickname @sisa_kr. The recently completed house near Bratislava reflects the sense of organization and minimalism, but also the joyful childhood of her two sons, Tomi and Alex.

What do you think makes a home?

A home is a combination of a unique atmosphere and a scent that is different for everyone.

"A friend of ours, architect Erik Pastucha, helped us design the house. He's a genius."

And what's your scent?

We like Bibliotheque by Byredo the most.

Lejaan editor's note: This scent evokes the atmosphere of a library with the scent of wooden shelves and old rare books and is composed of notes of plum, leather, or vanilla, among other things.

How would you describe your "home" in three words?

A fireplace, wood, and my boys.

Where do you spend your time when you want to have a moment to yourself?

When I'm home alone, I enjoy my time on the couch with a cup of tea in my hand and either watch TV, Instagram, or read. And when we are all at home, the biggest security is the toilet. (laughs) I think all parents will agree with me!

The bedroom in neutral colors is complemented by the Cosy Sunday, Quiet Jungle and Delicate Silk collections.

And where do you all meet?

Most often in our kitchen connected to the living room. There is plenty of space and daylight.

We are not surprised, this space is truly beautiful. Did someone help you with its design, or did you dream it up exactly like this yourself?

Our friend, architect Erik Pastucha, helped us with its design (as well as with the rest of the house). He is a genius.

The most beautiful moment from home that you can remember?

When I come home and the children run after me across the entire hallway and are happy that I came. That's the best!

In the bright bathroom you will find the Gentle Organic towel collection with a striped structure.

Your interior is mostly in neutral tones. What is your relationship with colors?

I am very careful about this, I like colors that are not easily noticeable, do not distract, and are photogenic.

Do you change the decoration of your apartment according to the season?

Yes, sometimes, but I don't bother with it much.

And where do you draw inspiration from?

When I like something on Instagram or Westwing, it's rarely an impulsive purchase, but rather a well-thought-out one. I love designer Anissa Kermiche and gradually want to order more of her decorations.

"I wouldn't trade Lejaan bedding for anything didn't change it! We, the kids and my parents love it.”

Which Lejaan product do you like the most? And which one do you want to buy now?

All of them! But okay, if I have to choose just one… It will be the entire bedding section – fillings, covers, duvets, sheets. But you really can't choose just one.

What do you think makes every space cozier?

The biggest interior "wow effect" was when we hung curtains and drapes, the transformation was incredible.

And what should everyone have at home?

Beloved people and bedding from Lejaan. I really wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! We, the children and my parents adore it.

How would you describe Lejaan to your best friend?

"Lejaan is love at first sight. Once you try their bedding, you won't sleep in anything else." I also like to compare your products to sleeping in a five-star hotel.

"I'm very careful with colors, I like shades that don't get boring quickly, don't distract, and are photogenic."

Do you have any tips on how to organize your space nicely and keep it visually clean even with the kids and their kingdom of toys?

I recommend a lot of built-in storage and storing all the toys there. I put the children's books in a large bookcase behind the couch, where they can't be seen, even if they're not exactly organized. I make sure to sort toys often and keep them organized.
