Details

Featuring: The enchanting home of author and jurist Malene in Valby, Denmark, where she resides with her husband Søren and their dog Conrad.The Home: Built in 1885, this 300-sqm villa has been lovingly restored over 22 years. Malene and Søren embraced the house’s unique historicist style, ensuring renovations honoured its original charm. With the help of designer Nadia Olive Schnack, the interiors now glow with vibrant colours and striking patterns, including purple staircases and green kitchen floors. Each room reflects a thoughtful blend of antique finds, family treasures, and personalised touches.The Style: A celebration of bold aesthetics and personal stories, the villa mixes lush wallpapers, vintage furniture, and travel mementoes. Nature is a recurring theme, with botanical motifs indoors and a lush garden outdoors. Malene’s commitment to sustainability and character shines through in her preference for antique and repurposed pieces, making this home a warm and inviting sanctuary.
