When you stand on the Malmö shore you can see the sun setting over the Copenhagen skyline in the distance – it’s the most beautiful sight! Sadly, it’s looking like we won’t be able to visit to our Danish friends this summer, so I’ll be getting my fix from pictures of their beautiful homes instead. I hope you’ll join me! Today, I’m taking us on a virtual tour to Line Stampe Dahl’s simple, yet charming summer house in Sjællands Odde, North East Zealand (approximately 1 hr 45 minute’s drive from Copenhagen). It’s an area that comes to life in the summer months, when Danes flock to the cape to enjoy the magnificent nature and white sandy beaches. Line, a landscape architect and , and her family love to escape city life at the weekends and in the holidays, to enjoy a more simple life. Their whitewashed cabin is sparsely furnished giving it a wonderful, light and airy feel, and allowing nature to take centre stage!
It’s no secret that the weather in Scandinavia in the summer can be a little, shall we say, unpredictable – but nothing that a wood burning stove can’t fix. The fire adds instant hygge too!
Simple wood furniture and a Beni ourain rug (source a similar one from ) are perfect for adding a touch of warmth to the white open-plan living space.
One of those slow frosty mornings when you bring the duvet with you and chill in the early sun.
I love it when a ceiling has been knocked through to reveal beams – it makes a room feel instantly more spacious (rem ember this Danish ?). The panoramic window is fabulous for letting in great bites of nature.
When you have windows like this, it’s perfectly acceptable to wear a sun hat and sunglasses indoors!
The iconic – what a beauty!
Bunking up. I’ve realised over the years, that my children love to live in close quarters, the smaller the space, the cosier they think it is. They’d be so happy to arrive at Line’s cottage and discover we were sharing a room!
What a lovely way to spend the summer holidays! It doesn’t need to be more complicated than this, do you agree?!
Line sometimes rents her wonderful cabin out (for future reference!). If you’re interested, keep an eye out on her inspiring for info!
And if you love , check out Line’s latest pieces (she’s currently working on a home page).
As always, I can’t resist sharing a few other idyllic danish summer cottages for you to dream over today:
Oh, how I’ll miss Denmark this summer! Here’s hoping they might open the borders soon!
Wishing you a dreamy Wednesday friends!
