Why, hello there friends! It feels so great to be back after the holidays! We took our Christmas tree down yesterday (which may sound a bit late, but in Sweden, tradition dictates the 13th to take down Christmas decorations. And it looked so pretty, I wasn’t quite ready to part with it earlier!). And now our home feels all fresh, calm and ready for 2021. Which reminds me, thank you so much for all your wonderful comments on my last post, I’m so happy you like my new ideas for My Scandinavian Home (and thank you to everyone who sent me private DMs with suggestions too – all taken to heart! Here’s to a year full of Scandi inspiration! 

I thought I’d kick off a wonderful Danish home tour, so, pull up a chair and get comfy – you’re in for a treat – Copenhagen style! 

Mette Helena is one inspiring woman! A Danish stylist and artist – the Mother of two is the owner of beautiful web shop Retro Villa – selling vintage wallpaper and Danish design, and co-founder of Kunstsalonen – pop-up galleries for the public in private homes. Little wonder Mette Helena’s own home in Amagerbro, Copenhagen is full of vintage design and the most wonderful art! Let’s take a peek inside. 

One of Mette Helene’s own painting hangs beside a Flos 265 wall lamp in the family sitting room. The coffee table is vintage. 

A black and white piece by Mie Olise Studio as well as countless other designs have been hung on a calming pale blue wall in the bedroom. 

And just look at all that storage space! Be still, beating heart! I need to show this to Per! How much would you also love to have this much storage? – perhaps you already do. 

Mette Helena has gone for statement blue tiles in the bathroom. I love that her rod sometimes doubles up as a clothes dryer (see below) – I do this too (sometimes my family wonders if it’s become my actual wardrobe!). 

What a beautiful, inspiring home! Thank you for inviting us on a virtual tour today Mette Helena – and thank you to Tia Borgsmidt for these fabulous photos! 

See more of Mette Helena’s home over at @mettehelena and visit her online shop here. If like me, you’re curious about her public pop-up galleries in private homes, you can find all the latest news here. Let’s hope everything rolls again soon!

Curious about other Danish homes with a ton of art and vintage pieces? Take a peek at: 

Wishing you a wonderful start to the week.
