Would You Rather:: Traditional Suburban or Urban Industrial?

February 17, 2016 · In: Interior design, Interior Design

Every now and then it’s fun to imagine what it would be like to live in someone else’s shoes… or better yet, their home.  While Scandinavians are known most for their modern, very monochromatic interiors, there are actually many people who have very traditional homes with luxury materials and even when Scandis go for a monochromatic look, it can flesh itself out in very different ways.  So, today, since I think both styles are beautiful and worth a peek, I have two homes for you to choose from, both of which are in Denmark and are luxurious in very different ways!

The first one is a suburban home that is oversized, hotel-like, and more traditional that what is typically found online.  Here you will find velvets, candles, nail head trim, lux wallpaper and crystal chandeliers…

Pretty amazing, right?

Our second home is located near the city center with an industrial feel that is not only architectural but just plain cool.  Inside the interior is pure white with black and dark wood accents.  The furniture is more minimalistic, more practical, yet equally luxurious as the first home. Modern Industrial In Copenhagen :: House of ValentinaModern Industrial In Copenhagen :: House of Valentina

Did you choose a favorite?  Maybe you would like a mix?  I think the traditional pieces in the industrial space would be pretty epic, too!

___________________________

TRADITIONAL HOME::

Many of the traditional pieces are found at Rue Verte here in Copenhagen, but here are a few of my favorite items will help you get a similar:

 Choose a Velvet Arm Chair or a Tufted Dining Chair (These works great for a desk, too!)

Accent with Silver Pieces, Baskets, but balance it with Slim Black Frames with Oversized Matting

Don’t Forget the Crystal Chandelier, Cole and Son Wallpaper, Silver Mirrors and the candles!

URBAN INDUSTRIAL::

Definitely go for a Modern Dining Table paired with Modern Chairs but don’t forget the Chandelier should have wow factor!

Choose a Clean and Simple Leather Sofa (available in white or black) but add a pop with a colorful rug.

Balance the Modern with Natural Materials such as Cement, Bone, and Wood.

If you don’t have a strong industrial core to your space, add an architectural art piece to create the same feel!

    Hello there!I think the first one is more urban suburban, very me. After traveling for many years and living in different countries I do love to come home to a quiet chic environment. I have the coziest home in the best neighborhood in my city. I don’t like the coldness of warehouse turned loft dwellings, I love a house with great bones that has history but in the city. Great post.

Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just getting started!! 🍂 🎃 

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!
