Style Notes
Simple living. This cozy and relaxing beach house is full of style and atmosphere with Nordic colors and design. It is furnished with a characterful mix of new, more modern furniture, and vintage items found in flea markets. There are open, friendly spaces with beautiful floors throughout the entire house. The large windows on all sides of the house give views of the gardens and the forests. The bathrooms are white with tiles. We love the muted, calming colors, the potted flowers on the deck and the proximity to Denmark’s best beaches.
