A Light Filled Family Home in Berlin with a Nordic Touch
During the Easter school holidays, my daughters and I are heading to Berlin, Germany for a couple of days. It’s somewhere I’ve been saving up for as I’ve always wanted to take them, it’s an amazing city and only 6 hours drive from Malmö! While doing a little research for things to see and do (any tips would be wonderful!), I veered off course (as always), and ended up stumbling across the Berlin home of Judith Schenk – which I had to share it with you guys! 
Judith describes her home as ‘Nordic minimalism meets Berlin Altbau’ – and the light-filled family apartment is made up of sleek finishes, Scandinavian design, plants and art. Read on to see more pictures and find out about some of the touches Judith has decided on.

The kitchen is made up of IKEA cabinets with Reform CPH fronts. The countertop is a solid Corian surface.

The lights are Flowerpot pendants in white.

‘Case Study House #10‘ by Stephanie Kloss hangs over the dining table. A Gubi semi pendant hangs over the table.

The Model 2065 pendant light by Gino Sarfatti makes a statement in the sitting room. The sofa is from Bolia

The plant-filled sun room is bathed in light – a perfect cure for the winter blues (have the leaves come out on the trees where you live yet? Here in Malmö, it’s still just twigs – gaaaah!). A desert lounge chair can be glimpsed in the corner.

Double doors in the living room lead through to the lovely children’s room.

Look at all those beautiful trees – *sigh*, there’s nothing like a green view!

The serene bathroom reminds me a lot of the tones / look I have used in our little cabin bathroom – including brushed / antique brass. The tap is from Grohe

The master bedroom is the epitome of calm with walls painted in Portlandstone Pale by Little Greene. Judith has used this shade throughout her apartment: “As we have a super open layout in our flat, this was my approach. Also the paint is so highly pigmented that it always appears different depending on the light and daytime,” she says. 
Judith has hung three prints over the bed, including Bleu by Lucrecia Rey Caro*. Arum lights an be seen either side of the bed.

Absolutely love this home. All the windows certainly help but also Judith has made everything look so effortless and struck the perfect balance between pared-back and personal. 
Did you feel inspired by this tour too? 
See more of Judith’s apartment and follow her latest projects over at @kavalierchen
Now I’m in Berlin mode, here are a few other tours from the German city: 
And of course, if you’re looking for more inspiration this weekend, make sure you look back t the tours I’ve shared this week, including a Gotland country home (I loved all the discussions about the tiny bath!) and a Stockholm flat worthy of an interior magazine feature – which is currently for sale! 
Have a fabulous weekend friends!
