Have you ever been to Copenhagen? There’s something about the relaxed vibe and their love of all things hygge which makes me feel immediately at ease. It’s been a while since I’ve been, so today I thought we’d take a peek behind a facade in the leafy area of Fredriksberg. Danish interior stylist, brand and visual storyteller, Sedsel Roug lives in a beautiful 145 m2 (1560,77 feet) ground-floor apartment with her Colombian husband Louis Carlos and three children Isabel (8), Luis (3) and Gabriel (3). The space has all the characteristics of a late 19th century apartment – including original wood floors, towering ceilings and large windows which let in soft pools of light. The harmonious feeling is accentuated by Sedsel’s love for pale sea-green walls, fabulous vintage and antique finds and lots of art. I caught up with Sedsel to find out more. 

It’s an old apartment dating back to 1860 with original wood floors and a ceiling height of 3.10 metres! 

I like that my home is an experience and that one gets surprised from the blend of styles. I like to decorate with vintage pieces and art and mix all kinds of materials and shapes. I am particularly passionate about marble, brass and velour. 

Would you say your home is typically Danish? 

My home is inspired by many different styles and countries. I have lived abroad (Brussels, Plymouth and New York for eight years) and love to travel to South Europe where I find inspiration for furniture and art. I also love to mix Danish design with wood details. 

What inspired your colour scheme? 

I’m very inspired by flowers and art. I mix all the wall colours until I feel inspired by the colour. I tend to go towards shades of green-grey / light sea green which has been made up using a blend of paint leftovers!

Colour codes 3495, 4491 and 4502 from Flügger are similar to the walls in my home. 

I have bought many items at auction in Germany and Italy. Actually, most of my furniture and accessories are vintage. I also adore upcoming artists and collect ceramics and art prints. 

Any favourite artists? 

I adore Bycdesign Studio, Hein Studio, My Paradissi* and Aure Studio.

I love how my home is constantly changing (I like to move furniture around!). I also love the light – there’s not much natural light as it is a ground floor apartment – but the light that does come in is peaceful and enchanting. 

So lovely! There’s something enchanting about Sedsel’s apartment, don’t you think? I particularly  love the sea green palette combined with wood furniture. 

Is there anything that stood out to you?

In case you’re curious about where some of the items are from (I know I was), here’s a round-up:
