As promised last month I successfully branched away from sharing yet another Maison Hand home tour. I almost caved at one point as I crossed paths with another fabulous example of the duo’s work, but fortunately Danish design site Bo Bedre helped me through that tough moment.
I recently became acquainted with Bo Bedre and am becoming increasingly obsessed with their website. It’s full of Scandinavian home tours, up and coming designers, amazing furniture and homeware, and lots and lots of illegible (to me) Danish. But hey, who needs to understand what’s being said when you have these gorgeous images to swoon over?
The Bo Bedre home tour I’m sharing this month is literally a marriage between two styles. Couple Jennifer and Esben had two contradictory design styles in mind when they began planning their dream home. Esben brought a more modern aesthetic to the table while Jennifer preferred the feel of a cozy Italian villa. Their home achieves a perfect balance between the two.
The home’s open floor plan, high ceilings and sweeping views ensure that the house is bright and welcoming, representing Esben’s taste. You can see traces of Jennifer’s love of the Italian countryside in both interior and exterior brickwork, perfectly offset by contemporary furniture and fixtures to ensure a decidedly twenty-first century feel.
The low furniture of this living space makes the ceilings feel even higher and the floor to ceiling windows even larger.
