Copenhagen's residential buildings are predominantly old: apartments from around 1900 with stucco, high windows, and ceilings of about three meters. Danish restraint in interior design is well-known, but the rooms themselves are anything but understated.
One striking piece instead of many mediocre ones
In bright, calmly furnished rooms, a single distinctive piece of furniture works better than consistently opulent furnishings. An armchair in velvet, a chandelier above the dining table, or a large wall mirror sets an accent without overpowering the character of the apartment.
The elevator is usually too small
Where one exists at all, it was retrofitted into the stairwell and barely accommodates two people. The stairs are wide but winding. For large items, this means: check the dimensions of the landing, otherwise the sofa will only come in through the balcony, and that is a separate task.
Light in winter
As in all of Scandinavia, the days are short. Several table lamps with warm light, distributed rather than centered, make a room habitable in the evening. Ceiling lights remain dimly in the background.
Shipping to Copenhagen
We deliver to Copenhagen. The price depends on the shipping weight, which for furniture is calculated from dimensions and packaging. Zone: EU. The prices are gross prices.

Freight forwarding goods are delivered curbside. This means: to the curb in front of the address, not into the apartment and not into the installation room. If you need delivery to an upper floor, please arrange it locally; this page explains what to consider.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you set accents in a calmly furnished apartment?
With a single strong piece instead of continuous opulence: a velvet armchair, a chandelier above the table, or a large mirror.
Does a large sofa fit into an old building in Copenhagen?
Often only disassembled. The retrofitted elevators are very small and the stairs are winding. The landing dimensions are the crucial factor.
How do you light an old building in the Danish winter?
With several warm table lamps, distributed rather than centered. The ceiling light remains dimly in the background.
