On-Trend Ceilings, Art and Books Galore In A Delightful Danish Home
The biggest micro trend in Denmark right now: accented ceilings. And I have to say, I absolutely love the idea. One caveat though, I’ve yet to see a statement ceiling painted in a trendy hue that’s not 3.5 metres high with intricate cornicing – needless to say, I won’t be painting mine just yet. But can we all take a moment this sunny Wednesday, to appreciate the blue ceiling in the Danish home of interior stylist Helene Katrine? In her Aalborg sitting room, Helene has painted the area overhead in a Dusky Blue hue which works beautifully with the Space shade on the walls, giving the entire look a modern twist. In true Danish style, Helene has also created some fab gallery walls, killer wall-to-wall bookshelves and dotted the space with some of my favourite iconic design pieces. Ready for the tour? You’re in for a treat!
A Bertoia diamond chair* sits beside bookshelves filled with books, porcelain and glassware. Hang on a minute. I also spot my very own The Scandinavian Home book – I have to say, I feel honoured beyond belief!
The shelves behind the dining table are from IKEA (I think, but I’ll double check with Helene in case I’m wrong!). Thonet Era chairs* have been arranged around the table and a Flos lamp* hangs overhead.
Can we just take a moment to admire that coat?! It’s like a work of art! It’s from Stand Studio – the brainchild of Nellie Kamras whose designs are inspired by feminine effortless chic, with an iconic Scandinavian simplicity. I couldn’t find the coat on the website, but I did see an entire collection of other fabulous ones!
