A few weeks back I told myself it was time to wrap up the Scandinavian summer cottage posts and return to the city or year-round country homes. But you know me, I’m never one to stick to the rules – especially my own! I couldn’t resist sharing this charming, simple Danish cabin with you today. The wooden structure is situated in a cosy, untouched area on the southern tip of Falster, an island in south-east Denmark.
Zine bought the cabin in 2020 and has been busy transforming it into a simple, relaxing, light and airy place to spend weekends and holidays. As with most Scandi getaways, mix and match ‘loppis’ (flea market) finds, open storage and a cosy spot in the sun are the order of the day. Enjoy the tour!
Despite being potentially a little higher maintenance with the dusting, open shelving gives kitchens a relaxed grab and go feel and also means that your porcelain and vases can be a part of the decor!
Coffee beans and percolators – the most important items in any Scandinavian home! Remember to make it extra strength!
Stripes and art with nautical motives are a subtle nod to the coastal location.
Le Klint Sax – A popular Danish lamp, for good reason!
When designing our own cabin, I was very much inspired by Danish cabins with high, wood panelled walls and ceilings and a stark black wood burning stove (ours is from Contura and looks similar to this). I love the contrast, the statement chimney but also the promise of warmth!
I also love the parquet floor; it makes me feel really nostalgic as we had a similar one in my childhood home. Some of the pieces had become loose and I used to pick it a part and then build things with it. I don’t think that gamer was particularly popular with my parents.
Baskets are really handy at a cottage like this – and make pretty wall decor when not in use! There are so many beautiful vintage baskets available on Etsy*.
I am guessing you can enjoy this cabin year-round thanks to the wood burning stove and insulation (thinking blustery walks along the beach followed by a coffee by the fire!).
And the good news is, it’s 1 hr 45 mins drive from Copenhagen and available for short term holiday lets! Danish island life, anyone?
Right guys, that’s it from me. I hope you’ve enjoyed the tours this week of three very different properties (did you see the artist’s home in Kent and Copenhagen apartment).
