A gem of a cottage

On the edge of a small island in Denmark, one finds this little romantic, classic holiday cottage. Painted black with white windows, the wooden house nestles in an old garden filled with fruit trees. The owner of this little gem wanted to preserve the simple exterior while carrying out extensive renovations inside.

The interior is done in a classic, romantic Danish coastal cottage/seaside hotel style. Lulu was involved every step of the way, including the selection of the kitchen, bathroom fixtures, colour scheme, furniture and accessories. Lulu delivered a turnkey house to the client, but the owner was involved throughout, right down to the smallest detail. Their involvement ranged from choosing colours and room layouts to pieces of furniture – they even brought in their favourite coffee cups.

Such hands-on involvement from the client greatly assisted Lulu in achieving the objective: to create a cosy private retreat that truly feels like home whenever the owners visit, whether for a weekend getaway or to spend the summer there.

The kitchen and bathroom were custom designed by Køkkenskaberne. The furniture is a mix of Danish design and Italian luxury. The materials focus on wood, leather, brass, wool and linen, creating an air of authenticity and gentle softness. Everything is invitingly well-balanced, promoting an instant sense of relaxation as the hubbub of everyday life is left behind. Welcome to a true home away from home.
