A castle in Denmark
Mon, 17 Jan 2011
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away a castle awoke from its slumber, shook its traditional roots and decided it wanted to be thoroughly modern. Well almost. A fairytale castle always has to be just a little bit fairytale. I love this modern take on a traditional home. Katrine Martensen-Larsen of KML Design always finds the most wonderful places.

Yes, I could take to that~
Oh dear, this is so pretty that it makes me a little bit histerical!
I think I've found my dream home!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful space. The juxtaposition of classic and modern elements is beautifully executed and the oversized chrome globe is simply divine!
Oh.My.God! Who lives there?
Love the white rooms!! Love your blog!!

What a place ! A totally different approach to an interior of a castle, so light and airy, unlike the usual stereo-type of them being dark and unapplealing. I love it ... especially the last pic, it's so magical.
once again, gotta hand it to the scandinavians.
...i think this is my ultimate dream home! absolutely beautiful.
So beautiful...love the way they added a modern touch to such a classic home!
After I buy a house in Myconos, an apartment in Paris, a villa in Lake Cuomo, I think I'll seriously consider a castle in Denmark.
Seriously, they made it feel so airy and fresh!
i have to agree, this place is amazing! i would love to see more! i have a similar simple sleek white table and was toying with the idea of an oversized gold chandelier. now i really want one.
Oh my goodness, this is perfection!
Perfection. If they had went for grand furniture it would not have been very liveable. I love it all!
it looks like kanye west shot the dining room scene of the runaway movie in that dining room right there. stunning!
honey, i'm home!!!
crap - way too gorgeous!
YES, PLEASE!!!
The designer has achieved an amazing marriage between old and new.
It is very chic!
You have to be kidding me? This house is a fairy tale! I agree with everyone's comments above that it is a great example of balancing contrast. Absolutely beautiful!
omg, that dining room is to die for. i love the long white table and gold accents.
great find k+ j.

What a beautiful abode. The Danes are very stylish especially when modernizing castles. Did you see the beautiful images of Palace at Amalienborg?
I have re=posted this castle and included your lovely fairytale intro
Every picture makes me moan with pleasure. Just wonderfull....
The long kitchen is a dream!
Anyone have any idea where that silver globe is from? Or is there a term for that? I would love to get someone something just like that. It's perfect.
