The idyllic lake-side Danish summer cottage

Do you prefer to stay at home or go abroad for your summer holiday? When the days are long and it never gets truly dark at night in Scandinavia I can totally understand why people prefer to retreat to summer cottages by a lake or sea. Take a look at this Danish cottage in Furesoen for example. The owner Per has lovingly restored it to create an idyllic lake-side holiday home. I could spend my entire summer here, how about you?!

 I love the combination of dark wood and dark blue it has such a calming effect. And that view...!

Mikkel always manages to find the most stunning spaces to capture including the very cool home of a Danish architect and an oh so stunning Danish haven in Cannes. You can take a look through Mikkel's portfolio here.

For more holiday home inspiration I do love the 25 home tours here: rural retreats, and of course there's this idyllic Danish summer cottage. Scandinavian staycations please.

Have a wonderful weekend and see you Monday!
