The Cosy, Small Flat of a Copenhagen Creative and Plant Lover

It was so fun to hear you all loved yesterday’s home tour as much as I did. What’s not to love about a beautifully restored Swedish country home (and Johanna renovated it to perfection too!). Today, I have something for all the city dwellers amongst us – a cosy, charismatic apartment in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen. Dane Ann-Kristin Løye Hejl shares ‘moments of motherhood, knitting and little corners of her home’ through her inspiring instagram feed @annkristinlhejl (if you don’t follow her already, it’s a must!). A keen gardener, the flat is filled with plants and flowers – and on warm summer days, the balcony doors are thrown open so the family can enjoy a little outdoor oasis. Welcome to Ann-Kristin’s world! 

 The pink crate-style storage boxes are everywhere right now in Scandinavian homes. You can pick up various colours at Lagerhaus. Now I’ve pointed them out, you won’t be able to ‘unsee’ it!!! I think I’m going to refer to them as the IT crate from now on!

A vintage cabinet above the dining table adds charm to the dining area in the corner of the sitting room – while adding some extra storage (while leaving floor space free – perfect!).
Spot the IT crate? 

Ann-Kristin’s creative projects are never far away. On the table you can catch a glimpse of one of her latest knitting projects (they have their own hashtag on instagram for good reason – I love everything she creates!). 

The pretty bedding is from JUNA Design – a Danish textile brand with strong a sustainable core. 

It’s about 27 degrees celsius (80 Fahrenheit) here in Southern Scandinavia today, so I can imagine Ann-Kristine and her family are sitting out on this balcony enjoying a few rays surrounded by the divine scent of blooming summer flowers (I love this pic on her instagram – so cute!).

Here on the Swedish west coast, we’re about to wander down to the water for a dip (it’ll be the first of around five swims my children will take today!!). Last night, the final swim was at 9.45pm – and the sun was still up!). Swedish summertime at its finest (we need to make the most of it while it lasts!). Do you live near some cool water you can swim in too?

Before I head off with my towel, I’ll leave you with some other  of my favourite Copenhagen home tours to feel inspired by:

A cosy Danish loft full of plants and vintage treasures
Johanne and Luka’s beautiful Copenhagen townhouse
The timeless Danish home of a jewellery designer

Gotta love the cool, relaxed Danish style, right?

Have a lovely day! I hope the sun is shining where you are too!
