An Elegant Danish Family Home in The Heart of Copenhagen
An Elegant Danish Family Home in The Heart of Copenhagen
It’s always fascinating to see the difference between how a Scandinavian decorates their summer cottage and their urban dwelling. Last week we saw a glimpse of Line Stampe Dahl’s dreamy, white summer cottage in Sjællands Odde, North East Zealand. Her home in the city is equally pared-back. But while her summer cottage has a more relaxed, costal vibe – with its white clad walls and vintage furniture – the Danish family’s Copenhagen home is more refined. The wonderful turn-of-the-century building provides an elegant backdrop to a living space that has been thoughtfully furnished with iconic Scandinavian design pieces. Look closely and you’ll also spot earthy accent walls and even a fabulous circus themed ceiling! Oh, and keep an eye out for the family’s little white rabbit, he’s hopping about it one of the pictures!

I love a lemon tree and Line’s one in the window is lush, don’t you think? I bought one for my my kitchen a few months back. It was looking a little unhappy, so in the end I shoved it out in the garden and just left it there. Not only has it got new shoots but it’s actually flowering! Caroline Reichel was right!
Oh, and the old Copenhagen window frames and sills get me every time. Aren’t they beautiful?

What a beautiful home! So elegant and refined, yet also relaxed. Danish style art it’s finest!
See more pictures of Line’s lovely home over at @linestampedahl – and in case you missed it – here’s the tour of her pared-back summer cottage.
The question is, did you spot the bunny?!
