Is it just me or was the weekend a case of Friday… blink…. Monday? And then to add to that I had a phone meeting with my bank at 8 am this morning to discuss pensions (remembered, with alarm at 7.50am) – cue double strength coffee!  Across the bridge in Copenhagen Denmark, the Engell family are also easing into the week – although their household appears a whole lot calmer than ours. That could be to do with Sofie Weinrich Engell’s pared-back approach to decorating along with the lovely soothing palette (keep an eye out for the subtle nuances, all of which I’ve linked to) . Even so, there’s plenty of space for her adorable children to play! Ready for a calm tour? Step this way!

Their hair! *heart eyes*. 

I’m in love with this kitchen from Invita Aarhus! Removing top cabinets is a huge trend right now, and works beautifully if you have the space for plenty of lower cabinetry. The simple flowerpot pendants* will add a lovely, warm glow after dark too! 

Those pools of light! If this was my home , I’d grab a book and sit right in the corner, how about you?

Sofie’s bedroom wall has been given a lick of paint in soothing Lin by Beckers

The sitting room has been painted in Kliphäll and the children’s bedroom in Alvdans, both by Beckers. 

Admittedly, Sofie’s children totally stole the show in this tour – aren’t they adorable? 

But can we also take a moment to think about the wall colours too? If you’re over white but still looking for something calm, subtle nuances like this help to add elegance and depth while maintaining a feeling of calm. 

Is there anything that stood out to you about Sofie’s Copenhagen home?  

Looking for a little more inspiration today? How about wondering over to the Danish home archive. It’s a real goodie – but comes with a word of warning – you might get held up there for hours! 

Wishing you a wonderful start to the week friends!
