The home of a Danish interior designer

This week it's been all about Swedish homes so far, so I think it's time we spread our Scandinavian wings and hop over 'The Bridge' to Denmark don't you?! This is the home of Danish interior designer Camilla Tange Peylecke, snapped by Peter Kragballe. The angles give us great insight into the homely mix of mid-century, vintage, retro, as well as classic and modern designer pieces. I love the original wood floor too! What a great, unique family home....

Home-owner / styling: Camilla Tange Peylecke. Photographer Peter Kragballe - shared with kind permission.

I think my favourite spot is the bedroom. I love the way Camilla has taken a pretty floral cushion and pulled out colours from it using the vintage blue desk lamp, and hat. The same can be done if you find a painting or rug you like.

I'm also a fan of the teapot collection in the kitchen!

Is there anything that stands out to you?

Other items I know and love: children's desk and chair by We Do Wood and rabbit nightlight. Bestlite and Flos Parentesi wall lights. Source round floral cushions here. Design Collectors has 15% off the Eames DSR chair right now.

You can see more pics of Camilla's home here if you're interested. And it's definitely worth checking out her art deco light shop.

Have a great day!

PS This home has also been styled by Camilla and captured by Peter but has a very different look and feel; beautiful in its own way. Loving the high-gloss concrete floor!

An idyllic Danish cottage

I hope you're having a great start to the week? I'm actually in the small fishing village of Gilleleje today for the second day of a photo shoot for my new book - so exciting (more news to follow at a later date)! We've got to leave the hotel shortly but before I go I thought it would be fitting to share an absolutely idyllic Danish former fisherman's cottage belonging to Dorthe Brocante. The palette of blue, indigo, charcoal and earthy tones is so pretty, don't you think?

Wow! How I'd love a home like this, how about you?

Anyone want to skip work this morning and drink coffee in the garden with me?!

I love, love love the ceramics. I was at a wonderful styling workshop at The Hive hosted by Dietland Wolf in which she talked about black on black styling using textured ceramics. The detailed shot of the three black vessels in Dorthe's home reminds me of how beautiful it can be to group three items of the same colour but with different surface texture and shapes.

More beautiful cottages here. And Danish homes here.

Got to rush but I'll leave you to dream! Have a lovely day!

A cool, calm and collected Danish home

I hope you had a great weekend? It was a bank holiday here in Southern Sweden so we escaped to the cottage on the west coast. My Mum and I even took a seaweed bath at Torekovs Warmbadhus - where you're actually scrubbed with local seaweed (have to say I was always a bit scared of seaweed as a child so it was quite a feat to get me in the bath in the first place, but my skin felt like silk afterwards!). Anyway. Today's home tour - this morning I'm loving this simple yet striking pared-back monochrome home in Denmark. Calm, cool and collected, it's the beautiful home of danish architect Jonas Bjerre Poulsen.

What do you think - your kind of palette? Too pared-back or just right?

Personally I love the polished concrete floor and the dark earthy colours. And what about the rounded storage in the bedroom?!

These pictures are from the magnificent book Monochrome Home by Hilary Robertson, photography by Pia Ulin, published by Ryland Peters & Small.

Other homes designed by Norm Architects can be found here. If you'd like to see more monochrome spaces today there's an entire archive here. Time to make a pot of coffee?!

I'm off to shoot a home in the Danish countryside today with a colour palette not far off this one - so excited!

Have a wonderful start to the week.

A striking Danish home with a calm feel

The 'Sense of Scandinavia' is built 'of vast landscapes and raw seasons, of cosy shared moments and the world's happiest people' so says Scandinavisk. And if the Danish candle company owner Shaun Russel and his wife Lene's house is anything to go by, this is most definitely true. Located in Copenhagen, this calm space is the perfect shelter from the winter storms and light a candle or two. Not only does the brown and white schemed space have amazing bones with high ceilings and original parquet flooring, but the couple have carefully selected treasured design items and combined them with antique and vintage finds from which to enjoy it. And of course, there's that incredible grand piano...

Could you be the happiest of people here? I certainly could!

A few things I know and love: Eames RAR armchair, series 7 chair (currently on sale!), Super Ellipticle table, try Etsy for vintage filing cabinets and keep an eye on LiveAuctioneers for leather sofas. try Farrow & Ball Mahogony paint to get a similar effect as the striking hallway.

Anything that catches your eye?

Other beautiful and inspiring Copenhagen spaces include this apartment in unexpected colours, an artist's home in black and white and a pad with the shiniest concrete floor you've ever seen! Oh how I love the Danish sense of style, how about you?

This week I'm excited to be working with a wonderful team at the IKEA headquarters. It's about an hour and a quarter away from Malmö by train and stepping off the train is like entering a snowy winter wonderland. BRRRR - my new work wear: a fjäll räven backpack and fleece tights!

Have a lovely day and stay warm!

A Danish home with a warm soul and quirky touches

Here in Southern Sweden there's a winter storm on it's way (again). I think there's something kind of cosy about being indoors while the wind howls outside, don't you? Plus it creates time for all those projects. This Danish space belongs to Dorthe Kvist, a landscape gardener, stylist, and interior designer and her husband and two children. Situated in Vanlose, Denmark. the family home is perfect inspiration for this type of weekend since many of the items within (shelves, tables etc) have been made by hand. The space has also been decorated using a mix of sentimental items such as photos, inherited furniture and flea market finds as well as modern ceramics and quirky touches. The result is a cosy, personal space with plenty of soul. I could ride out a storm here, how about you?

There's just so much to take in from these images - but I think my favourite thing about this home is the use of colour from pastel pinks to bright yellow. How about you?

More pics and complete interview here (in Danish).

Feeling creative? Here are some more fab DIY project ideas you may have missed: Creating a Children's blackboard cupboard, a polka dot accent wall, a DIY walk-in wardrobe on a shoe-string budget, a fun cloud doormat to brighten up the hall, a simple but cool 'plus' garland, Or if you fancy some potato printing - this is such a cute idea, and so much fun to create!

And one final project for the weekend - I'm fascinated by the VIPP shelter -apparently it's hidden somewhere in the forests of Sweden and VIPP are going to hold a competition to guess where it is. I wonder if the shelter is the prize? If so, I'm putting my running shoes on.

I hope you have a wonderful couple of days and see you Monday!

PS One of my favourite Swedish illustrators, Elina Dahl is holding a print and poster sale here, Her home is one of the most commented tours on My Scandinavian Home ever!

The beautiful home of a Danish author

This home is incredible (thank you for the tip Husligheter). In fact, I'll be pinning every single image. It's the home of Danish born, novelist Annika von Holdt author of The Mummers Play, Sleep Like the Dead, The Night Hour and The haunted. Annika and her family divide their time between Copenhagen (featured) and the Bahamas (sounds like my idea of heaven!). You can gain a wonderful insight into Annika's life, creative process and see more beautiful pictures of her home on her blog here. In the meantime here are a few of my favourite snaps.

What a beautiful home, I love the way the space has been photographed and the treatment too. Anything you love in particular?

A few items I know and love: source luxuriously soft linen bedding here. I've always been a big fan of the Knoll diamond chair and Bertoia side chair. I also spy a black Eames RAR rocker and a Panton chair. Try IKEA for thin picture shelves to create a wall like Annika's.

You can also follow Annika on Instagram (love the picture of her kitty cat!).

Have a lovely day!

A cool Copenhagen apartment in unexpected colours

Hello Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Have you ever been to Copenhagen? It really is the most fantastic city - and I'm not just biased because I live over the bridge, honest! The Danes have such a great sense of style and take great pride in ensuring this comes through in everything they do whether it's decor, cooking or creating. The Copenhagen home of Caroline, Patrik and their three children (photographed by Iben Kaufmann) is a great example of this natural flair although not typical of the usual Danish apartments we've seen on here. It's full of surprise colours which adds a real sense of fun and a relaxed family atmosphere. Very cool...

This home makes me want to expirement more and play with colours in my house - how about you?

Before I shoot of and let you enjoy the start of your week....I'd like to introduce a new Danish sponsor which I am so happy to recommend: Silke Bonde. Silke Bonde creates and sells wonderful prints for the home. I particularly love the Racoon poster (I have this one myself and never tire of it!) and cute little chick poster. Oh so Scandinavian cool.

Have a wonderful start to the week and see you Wednesday!
