Fie and Ulrik’s Danish home defies the trend for minimalist Scandi monochrome with eye-catching palettes and understated luxury
Scandi style was all untreated floorboards, raw woods and monochrome walls, softened by natural textures – hygge, in other words – think again. There’s a place in some Nordic hearts that loves to be creative with colour and, for evidence, we need look no further than the Copenhagen home of Fie Aspöck Jonsen. Swoon-inducing pinks, petrol blues and turquoise and subtle aubergines and eau de nils vie for our attention, tied together with splashes of daffodil. ‘There’s something about yellow,’ says Fie. ‘There has to be a little of that shade in every room – it’s something that’s always been a part of me.’
Fie’s father was a painter and his work has had a major influence on her life. ‘A love for art is in my blood,’ she says. ‘I want lots of it around me. Colours were also a big factor in my childhood, as my parents were constantly changing the look of our home, and where some may find it a bit chaotic and messy, I find comfort in artwork and colours and love to be surrounded by them.’
