An Architect’s Delightfully Calm Copenhagen Home (And It’s On Airbnb Too!)
When you go on holiday do your prefer an airbnb or a hotel? – Or perhaps something in between? When travelling with the crazies I prefer an airbnb but when it’s just Per and I – I’d more likely opt for a hotel (or a romantic B&B!) – mainly because I love a good breakfast buffet! But then I discover Airbnb apartments like this one in Copenhagen. Owned by an architect, the three-bedroom apartment is situated on one of the capital’s most sought after streets and features beautiful sky-blue walls, light wood features and a blend of antique and new nordic design pieces. Who’s to say you can’t nip to the local bakery and pick up a fantastic wienerbrød (Danish pastry) and freshly brewed coffee to go in the morning?! The next time I’m in Denmark’s capital city, I’m totally checking in here – and I might just never leave! Could you imagine staying here too?
“Both architects, we transformed this historic apartment into a comfortable and calm home. With a focus on natural and luxurious materials, we have allowed the history of the place to inspire the design.”
I love the backsplash. I spotted something similar in this magical Norwegian mountain cabin. You can create a similar one by treating a sheet of copper with acid for an aged look.
“The apartments finished with a mixture of mid-century Scandinavian furniture, contemporary furniture, auction finds, and pieces from Justine’s home in South Africa.”
Quite a varied list, I must say! Which would you choose?
I’ve got to hurry home from there studio now as a local Malmö paper is coming to my house for a home story – so fun! God knows how the kids left it this morning but I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of tidying up to be done. Gah!
