A Light-Filled Copenhagen Family Home Filled with Books: A Peek Inside
In the heart of Copenhagen, a family home adorned with books and plants has captured the attention of home enthusiasts. The photography for this charming abode was expertly done by Rasmus Hjortshøj, while the styling was skillfully executed by Maria Kjær Rasmussen and Line Kjær Rasmussen. The home was published by My Scandinavian Home.
The dreamy Danish home, another literary haven, was also featured on My Scandinavian Home. This time, Rasmus Weng Karlsen lent his lens to capture the home's enchanting ambience, with Anne-Marie Aagaard overseeing the styling.
Across the Baltic Sea, a cosy Stockholm flat in tones of pink, ochre, and green is another literary gem. The photography for this home was done by Elin Sylwan, with Petra Yngfalk handling the styling for Historiska Hem. However, specific examples or visuals of Elin Sylwan's work showcasing book displays in small spaces were not found in the search results.
A creative Stockholm home, aptly named "A Creative Stockholm Home with Bookshelves High Up," also features an extensive collection of books. The photography for this home was not specified in the article, but the high up bookshelves are a standout feature. This home was published in Where Life Happens Gently.
Although no specific details about books or bookshelves were provided for the Boho Loft Apartment in a converted Stockholm home, it is clear that these spaces are ideal for showcasing a love of literature.
To create a book display in small spaces in Swedish homes, which often embrace minimalistic and functional design, consider the following tips:
- Utilize vertical space by installing narrow, tall shelving units or wall-mounted shelves.
- Display books with covers facing out using open shelves or ledges to create a visually appealing display rather than stacking books spine-out in closed cabinets.
- Integrate books with decorative objects, plants, or art pieces to create a cozy and personalized atmosphere.
- Consider using floating shelves or picture ledges, as they take up minimal space and allow for easy rotation of books and featured titles.
- Incorporate multi-functional furniture, such as storage benches or coffee tables with built-in book storage, to maximize space.
For more inspiration, consulting Elin Sylwan's portfolio or interior design publications where she is featured would be recommended.
