One of our favorite Scandinavian spaces in recent years is the family home of Johanne Landbo and Lukas Filip Fernandes in Copenhagen. Their renovation consisted of “not much to fix except for the fun aesthetic things”, resulting in a series of rooms with handmade or vintage pieces. The attic in the townhouse serves as a guest room and spare office; it’s a very stripped-down, minimal space but no less characterful. Here, a list of similar sources to achieve the look at home:
