Friday totally calls for something fabulous. And when I discovered the Danish home of architectural technology student
Freja Bak Petersen I knew I'd found just the place! Freja's Copenhagen apartment is a total dream! Just the glimpse of the books in her dining room in yesterday's
Danish home round-up had me searching instagram for more, and her feed was awash with room after room filled with mid-century Danish design pieces, colourful art, stacks of books and subtle details that make the space truly unique and personal. Buckle up friends, you're in a for a real ride!
Freja found the Børge Mogensen dining table on Scandinavian auction site
Lauritz.
I could climb into that classic Kludestolen chair by Bernt Petersen and read all weekend, how about you?! I also love floating bookshelves it helps to maintain a lovely light and airy feel (unfortunately, we don't have many walls in our home that could support this - do you?).
Freja built the shelves herself (you can see a slide show of the process, including before pictures,
here). So clever!
Instead of ripping it out, Freja kept the original 1920s kitchen and updated the cabinets with a lick of
Retro paint by Beckers. The kitchen walls have been painted in
Salt, also by Beckers.
A plaster wall in the living room breaks up the white and adds a load of texture to the sitting room.
It's the subtle touches in Freja's home, like the colour of the floor, that makes it so personal. "I painted the floors in a very light blue with a touch of grey. I love that they are light blue!" Freja told me.
The velvet 'Floyd sofa' in matt beige is from the
Sofa Company.
What a perfect way to create room for a home office in a small space without having to stare at your work / study notes from bed! So inspiring! Freja made the desk herself using IKEA legs and a lacquered MDF board. The lamp is from
Møller & Rothe.
Oh, how I loved this home tour. I hope you also felt inspired!
Did anything stand out to you in particular?
I love the light blue floor (Freja has promised to come back with the exact colour code over the weekend. I'll stop by and update the post as soon as I receive it.
In the meantime, you can see plenty more pictures of Freja's home over on instagram
here.
It seems the Danish design love fest has become a two-day affair! If you missed
yesterday's post, I strongly recommend you pour yourself a coffee and hop over there now - so many dreamy spaces!
Other dreamy danish homes to love over the weekend include a r
are peek behind the facade of Copenhagen's colourful Nyhavn, the
cool home of a Danish architect and
hygge and pops of colour in Hanna Järver's creative home.
Have a fabulous couple of days, friends!
Niki
If you're an interior designer or architect make sure you stop by over the weekend as I'll be announcing a very exciting contest!
