Hello! Hur går det?! It’s great to be back after a week in the mountains. I’m feeling all revived, the sun’s shining and I’m ready to roll! I hope you feel the same this bright and sunny Monday?!  I thought I’d kick off the week with a tour of the charming home of Fie Frøling, finalist of the ‘Danish Instagram of the Year’ (and for very good reason!). Fie’s home is packed with second hand finds, DIY items and an abundance of greenery. I caught up with her to find out a little more. Enjoy the tour!

A Charming Danish Home on a Shoestring Budget

Where do you live?
My home is in Næstved, Denmark and I have lived here with my boyfriend and our two dogs since 2014. I actually grew up in this house with my parents and sister. We’re still in the process of renovating it.

Get the look: Marshall speakers, Ilva cabinetKimono from Sissel Edelbos,

How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as mix and match with an ethnic, boho vibe and a hint of industrial. I love it when warm tones meet black steel and like to play around with feminine and masculine decor.

Get the look: Brok side table, source kilim cushions here, man in canoe print, Nordal rug (I have a similar one in my sitting room!).

 Where do you like to shop? 
I love to buy my decor at different places. I have a serious soft spot for Swedish secondhand shops and the Danish website DBA. You can find some great stuff there. Our entire kitchen was bought from DBA. Otherwise I love to shop at unoliving.dk, Casanordic.dk, semibasic.dk, Ilva and Broste. They have amazing pieces at good prices.

It’s nice to see so many plants in your home!
I have a huge love for plants. I can’t go an entire month without buying a new green baby! They give such a cool effect against the black and warm colours. But also, I feel like they bring my home to life because you can watch them grow. Denmark isn’t the most sunny and bright country but because of all my green plants I feel like it’s never dark, they remind me of summer and rainforests.

I am fascinated by your bed headboard, can you tell us more about it?!
I made our headboard three years ago. We needed a new headboard but I couldn’t find one I liked. I saw these pallets by our local train station which had been thrown out and had been lying there for some time and had turned grey and rusty. I was given permission to take them and then I screwed them to our bed frame. Et voilà! A headboard emerged!

Thank you so much for the tour of your lovely home Fie! 

What a great tour – I specially loved the the rustic pieces and plants (you know, I still can’t stop thinking about that urban jungle home a few weeks back, how about you?!). It’s amazing what you can find at flea markets. Is there anything you loved in particular about Fie’s home?

If you’d like to see more of Fie’s home there are tonnes of lovely snapshots on her instagram feed @woodlandwhim. And for more homes with a boho vibe why not check out this archive (oh and I LOVE the Danish home archive too – a real favourite!).

Have a great start to the week!
