A bed is built into an alcove in the large bedroom that is shared by homeowner Tine Kjeldsen’s three children, Klara, Tilde, and Konrad. A glass-fronted, white, wooden cabinet (the twin of the one used for storage and display in the living and dining area) contains bed linen and baskets, all of which, like the bamboo ladder, the wooden stool, and the textiles on the bed itself, is by Tine K Home (www.tinekhome.com).
ontrasting elements are used to perfection throughout the space. For example, white wooden, glass-fronted cabinets display textured linens and books, and sleek white drawers in the kitchen hide crockery, cutlery, and all the usual domestic necessities. But a veritable swarm of
The compact bathroom is situated behind the kitchen. Sliding doors off the main bedroom and large children’s bedroom allow access to it from two sides. The striped floor tiles in this space are new. They are Moroccan in origin and are part of the Tine K Home (www.tinekhome. com) collection. The basin is made of black stone and is beautifully compl emented by the sculptural, wall-mounted metal lamp, which is also by Tine K Home.
rustic wood and wicker stools and side tables, in turn, provide perfect counterpoints to these. In the living and dining room, a simple wood and bamboo dining table and woven cane chairs (“all of which are light enough to be easy to move around the space at will,” says Kjeldsen) contrast with the white, upholstered L-shaped couch nestling in the corner. The couch is covered with tactile, gray textured throws and large, gray and white cushions that invite lounging. The lighting is all about contrasts too. The pressed ceilings are set off by woven baskets that function as pendant lamps, while a clean-lined metal table and built-in bedside lamps add a contemporary element to the mix. The apartment is, in many ways, a perfect expression of the Tine K Home brand. Since founding it with her husband in 1999, Kjeldsen has created a unique blend of Scandinavian simplicity with French, Asian, and Moroccan influences. Yet this home away from home is by no means a showroom intended for display. Rather, it is a family-orientated, lived-in space. Holidays spent in this unique pied-à-terre, situated in a vibrant yet historic city, must be truly special. Kjeldsen says, "We love this style of simple living. Our Spanish home is our second home and a place where the whole family can relax."
