Words by Hannah Eklund

The danish stylist and Creative Director Trine Kjær recently moved in to a new house in Charlottenlund, north of Copenhagen. We asked her about her new house, her interest about colour and where she find her daily inspiration. 

“To me it’s really important to have a combination of old and new – that makes the interior personal and I feel the same with my wardrobe, always a mix of new and old pieces.”

Tell us about your new House?
We just got the keys to our new home in Charlottenlund – a city by the sea 8 km north from Copenhagen. It was love at first sight. It’s from 1918 and still have a lot of original details like wooden floors, stuccos and the most amazing terrazzo floors. Since the house is way bigger than our old apartment we’ve had to invest in some new furniture and mix them in with some of our old favorites. 

Favorite place in Copenhagen?
Frederiksberg City is my favorite area in Copenhagen. It reminds me a bit of my favorite city Paris because of the green trees, beautiful houses and cafées. Værnedamsvej is the go-to street for home interior, flowers, great coffee, soaps and cheese and wine.

I’m all about shapes and 
materials when it comes to furniture.

Where do you find inspiration?
In these lockdown days I find most inspiration online – especially on pinterest and of course also instagram. I also love watching movies and series and look at the interior. For instance Wes Anderson movies and lately we watched Ratched on Netflix and there was some great lavish decor too. We love to travel to Italy and when I’m there I always find a lot of inspiration. I guess my style is a mix of Italian maximalism and Scandinavian minimalism.

I FELL COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THE ORGANIC SHAPE OF THE PUDDLE TABLE. IT’S UNPREDICTABLE AND YET CLASSIC AND I ALWAYS HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR OAK BECAUSE IT GETS PRETTIER AND PRETTIER AS THE YEARS GO BY.

Your best tips to add more color in a home?
Don’t be afraid of colors. Its a great way to make you home look a bit more personal and more fun. My best advice is to keep your furniture pretty clean, and then for instance paint your walls in colors – it’s easy to redo if you get tired of it – and find some colorful accessories like vases, rugs, pillows etc. If you’re more into white walls it looks great with just one furniture in a pop out color like red.
