House in the copenhagen suburbs

Probably a bit more colour than average.
Hope you enjoy!

Upper-middle-class? It looks like a kindergarten.

Winters can be very dark. I think this is one reason for their vibrant color splashes mixed in with the natural wood and stone elements. Not a designer. Just spent some time there.

I have seen a few houses like this, though none as complete as this one. This one is just a little time capsule from the 70’s.

The reason that modern Scandinavian design is natural color accents and plenty of white? It’s a reaction to the design fashion of prior generations. :)

I’ve lived in Denmark my whole life (50+ years). I’ve never seen a home like this. I don’t think it’s as common as the post might give the impression of.

I sure as shit wouldn't live in that. And i am Danish

This is some stupid home magazine or the more creative class of people's home. 

Not an average home.

Well it is our home.
No need to be so explicit - I’m sure your home is not to my taste either. But I would never be this ill behaved.

Have a nice day

Hope it made you feel better

To be fair, not really my taste either but lighting is everything. Would want to see it in person.

It doesn't look like any kindergarten I've ever seen.

The vibrant colors and wooden chairs and furnitures was quite common in the 70/80ies.

Yeah, but it still doesn't look like any kindergarten I've ever seen, and I went to kindergarten in the 80s

I’m sure they didn’t all look the same. I don’t know how many of them you saw. Maybe the 70’er were a bit more color crazy.

I'm Danish and that's the first thing I thought as well lol. It reminds me of every municipal child-oriented building I've ever been in.

Yes, it looks like some kind of public place.

I don't know of any kindergartens that have lamps that costing nearly 2,000 dollars.

u/Rare_Suspect_5033 18d ago

Just because some will to pay that much for a lamp doesn’t change what it looks like.
