Ok. Straight off, we wish our home looked like this.

It's a new project from Danish designer Søren Rose's studio, and a gorgeously sophisticated renovation of a historic Danish house dating from 1770.

Bold colours punctuate each room; not just to liven up the mix of contemporary neutral tones, but also, according to the studio, to symbolise “the different purposes the apartment has served over time.”

Furnished with a clever mix of design classics and new furniture, we think this house achieves high style without a trace of that cold showroom feel which we see all too often.
