God morgon! Oh, have I got a beautiful home tour for you today! Located in Østerbro, Copenhagen, the Danish home of Marie and Jacob is full of everything I love: sun light, mid-century pieces, Danish design, art, and a very handsome furry friend! Twenty-eight-year-old Marie works as an information security consultant and loves to paint in her spare time. Her paintings can be seen throughout the 100 square metre space - and are part of what gives their home a wonderful, unique and personal touch. The recently renovated space also features beautiful second-hand / vintage pieces as well as statement lighting and soft serene shades. Velkommen!
An IKEA kitchen has been combined with a natural stone worktop from Zurface, giving it a luxurious finish.
Marie and Jacob have made the most of a wide windowsill - turning it into a space to sit with a coffee, soak up the sunshine and watch the world go by.
The chairs and table were picked up second-hand online and a Drop Chandelier from 101 Copenhagen hangs overhead.
A painting by Marie takes pride of place in the sitting room - adding a wonderful element of colour. The seating is from the Sofa Company.
I love how Marie and Jacob have made full use of the windows in every room. In the sitting, a Coventry chair and Arum table lamp* have been combined to create a perfect reading corner.
In the spare room, the couple have capitalised on the natural light to make a home office.
I love this rack (source a similar solid oak rail here*) - we could really do with this many hooks in our bathroom (there are always about 15 towels on the go - it drives me nuts!). I'm also itching to put up some art but Per is not happy about drilling into the tiles. What are your thoughts on this? Is it a bad idea? Or should we just go for it?
How lovely!
I especially appreciate how Marie and Jacob have added just the right amount of furniture to fit their needs and nothing more! It strikes that perfect balance - pared-back yet warm, something I talk about in my Lagom book.
Is there anything that stood out to you?
See more pictures of their lovely home - and keep up to date with Marie and Jacob's latest renovation projects over at @strandboulevardan.
Shall we take a peek inside homes of a few other artists today? Here are a few I love:
Do you have a lot of art in your home?

As long as the art isn't too, too heavy, I've used Command strips to hang it on tiles without having to drill holes. They are plastic hooks attached to the wall using adhesive strips and they come in various sizes, depending on the weight of the piece of art. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to look into these, thank you for the tip!
DeleteInstead of drilling into your tile to hang art use Contact strips that are meant for the bathroom. They are extra sticky and water proof.
ReplyDeleteLiking the sound of these waterproof ones, thank you so much for the tip!
DeleteI can see a lot of cleaver and artfull details everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI will copy a lot of them, thanks you!!
