Past and Present Meet in a Danish Thatched Cottage

I have seen thousands of Scandinavian cabins in my two decades of living here (some in person, many online!), and while each one is unique, they usually share a few themes: heirlooms and second-hand finds, or traditional pieces that reflect a relaxed, down-to-earth lifestyle, and colour palettes that mirror their surroundings with touches of coastal blue or countryside green. Not this one. And that’s exactly why it caught my eye.

Currently for sale, this thatched cottage on the Danish Riviera blends old and new beautifully. Copenhagen-based Studio Force Majeure collaborated with the founders of Ferm Living to decorate the space, creating an interior that feels both contemporary and rooted in tradition. Original architectural wood panelling and exposed beams, washed in a warm cream, provide the backdrop to a modern stainless steel kitchen, very cool animal print sitting room furniture, and an on-trend wave mirror. But you’ll also spot the hallmarks of a traditional Scandinavian summer house throughout; a woven basket here, an urn there, which of course, I love! 

Keep a close eye on all the details as you look through, there are plenty of touches to feel inspired by!

So cool and different! 

But the big question is - can you guess what's inside the beehive? I'll share the answer (and a picture) later this week. Oooooh, the suspense! 

Is there anything that you loved about this danish cabin? Could you imagine spending your summer here? 

It would be rude not to share a few more Danish summer houses today. If you have the time, please do check out:

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the virtual trip to the coast of Denmark!
