Hej kompisar! Is it just me, or when planning a holiday or weekend away, the lion's share of the work is in finding the perfect place to stay? I guess it's because, if like me, your environment can add so much to your time away!
The good news is, if you're visiting the Danish capital, I might have saved you hours (weeks... months...?) of scouring the net! Look no further than this incredible three bedroom apartment in the hip neighbourhood of Vesterbro which features sky high ceilings, beautiful period features, original wood floors and incredible light-filled rooms.
Owned and run by host Nikolaj Paaby Normand, the abode is filled with incredible one-off pieces, art, make-you-smile colours and a riot of pattern. Needless to say, these pictures taken by Anitta Behrendt, have graced the covers and pages of some of Denmark's finest interior magazines and the airbnb is considered a firm 'guest favourite'.
Ready to take a nosey around? Step this way!
Have you ever seen such a colourful dining set arrangement? It works thanks to a very calm backdrop, making it a focal point of the room.
The apartment is full of one-off pieces which adds intrigue around every corner.
Colour, texture, and pattern come together in the sitting room, giving the space a relaxed feel. While the furniture and Svenskt Tenn pattern have mid-century appeal. Again, a calm backdrop helps to draw the eye to the centre of the room and ensures the look doesn't become too chaotic.
A calming blue accent wall appears in the bedroom, while the vibrant quilt and cushion ties the look in with the rest of the living space.
Oj oj oj - as they say in Sweden. It's one thing seeing an incredible space like this in a magazine, it's another knowing that you can actually stay in it as an airbnb.
Meet you there?

This is the most delightful and colourful offering. A joyous change from previous !
ReplyDeleteHappy you love this as much as me, I agree, the colours are wonderful!
DeleteBeautiful apartment some lovely lamps and glassware not sure about a blue lampshade but maybe they use it as decoration as it might give a jaundiced look. It certainly is attractive.
ReplyDeleteGood obvservation. In my experience Danes tend to use more low lighting at night for a cosy, warm ambience so it could well be more for decoration, like a blue jewel in the centre of the room! It looks very lovely, I agree!
DeleteThis apartment is gorgeous? is there any way to source the paint colours, particularly the pinkish colour and the blue?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the question, Nicolaj has shared these with me and I've updated the post.
