Modern Art

Positively brimming with colour and personality, this funky pad is Danish hygge at its best. It also oozes character, thanks to Sophie, our host, being a psychology student/painter – and showcasing many of her own vibrant artworks throughout the flat. She also offers an extensive fashion and art book collection for guests to choose from, plus there's a lovely private balcony for a spot of afternoon reading. Enjoy meals in the quirky dining area, with chic lighting, Eames-influenced chairs and brickwork wallpaper, that creates an industrial-styled space. Splashes of colour are painted on the home's blank canvas of wooden floors and whitewashed walls to make for a modern and artsy apartment that really packs a punch. In true Copenhagen fashion, the bathroom isn’t luxurious (it’s actually rather small), but we’re willing to look past that as the rest of the home is so charming. Outside, Frederiksberg is on the fancier side, so it’s especially ideal for someone who craves a bit of peace and quiet. You'll find upscale shops, boutiques and gourmet restaurants aplenty nearby, and you're within a five-minute walk from the Aksel Møllers Have metro station, connecting you to the rest of this ever-emerging city.

Home truths:
*We couldn’t find a home manual when we visited – you may have to ask for help on how to use the appliances
*Be prepared for some up and down – it’s on the third floor with no lift (fifty-three steps)
*The shower is more a wetroom than a cubicle, so the whole bathroom will get wet
*The bed is essentially a mattress on the floor – it is comfortable, but it’s not the most luxurious sleeping set-up
*Frederiksberg is really lovely, but it’s not central Copenhagen – although you are well-connected by public transport (bus and metro)
*Since the photo-shoot some of the decor has been updated
