Hotel Sanders

Hotel Sanders is a five-star hotel that has been voted one of the best hotels in Scandinavia multiple times. The 54-room hotel is located only meters from the popular tourist spot Nyhavn and the Danish Royal Theatre, so it couldn’t be more central.

The design in Hotel Sanders is impeccable, with lots of wicker, wood, fireplaces, and cozy nooks. You could say it’s filled with Danish hygge. The hotel has a plant-filled roof terrace, a courtyard, and a cocktail bar, all styled to perfection.

Hotel Danmark

Hotel Danmark is centrally located at walking distant from the Central Station, Glyptoteket and Christiansborg Palace. I’ve stayed twice at this hotel and I can say it’s an ideal location to explore Copenhagen.

design hotels copenhagen hotel danmark nordroom5 The Best Design Hotels in Copenhagen - Updated 2025

You’ll see lots of marble, green tones, and brass fixtures in the rooms ranging from a bunk bed room, small single rooms to a junior suite. The only downside for me is that they don’t have a restaurant, but they do serve an organic breakfast.

Hotel SP34

Hotel SP34 is located in the Latin Quarter of Copenhagen. The Latin Quarter is a bohemian area with design shops and restaurants at only 500 meters from Tivoli. SP34 is decorated in a combination of raw materials like concrete combined with warm wood. Very Scandinavian!

Great Budds Oast: A Cozy Holiday Home in the Kent Countryside https://www.thenordroom.com/great-budds-oast-holiday-home-kent/ https://www.thenordroom.com/great-budds-oast-holiday-home-kent/#respond Tue, 14 Nov 2023 09:00:00 +0000 https://www.thenordroom.com/?p=34436 Nestled in the heart of Kent’s countryside, Great Budds Oast is a testament to the vision and dedication of Sallie, a first-time entrepreneur at 59 years old. After her children had moved out, Sallie embarked on a new chapter. Transforming an 18th-century, 14-acre country estate into a premium countryside escape and a haven for once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Great Budds Oast is an 18th Century Grade 2 listed property that stands on Sallie’s family estate. Originally an ‘oast’ (Old English for kiln), it carries a rich history and now serves as a luxurious five-bedroom holiday let. Sleeping up to ten guests, it is a family-friendly retreat just outside London that also welcomes dogs to the house.

The property’s enchanting visage is accented by red bricks and crawling vines, offering a glimpse into the tranquility of the Garden of England. Sallie was inspired by historic Oast houses in Kent, and the interiors pair color with history, which turns the home into a welcoming and warm space.

Sallie wanted to turn the Oast House into a holiday home so other people from around the world could experience the beauty of the Kent Countryside. The result is personal, warm, and inviting.

The Workers Cottage: An English Holiday Home with a Royal Past https://www.thenordroom.com/the-workers-cottage-england/ https://www.thenordroom.com/the-workers-cottage-england/#respond Tue, 31 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000 https://www.thenordroom.com/?p=34111 In a picturesque village in the English county Norfolk stands a beautiful historic cottage with a unique past. The Workers Cottage is a three-bedroom cottage that Jolene and Jason carefully restored in 2021 and now rent out as a holiday cottage and a location house.

What makes this cottage unique is that it was once owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II. The cottage was part of the Sandringham Estate. The estate, which includes Sandringham House, is a private royal residence bought by Queen Victoria in 1863 as a wedding present for her son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, and his bride, Princess Alexandra of Denmark.

The restoration of the cottage was a labor of love for Jason and Jolene. Together with local and artisan trades and Jason’s father, they took on the year-long restoration project to turn this historic cottage into a comfortable holiday home.

cottage-sitting-room-fireplace-ceiling-beams

The interiors of the cottage are designed by Jolene. Old and new are combined to create a natural and timeless aesthetic. Bespoke details such as custom headboards in the twin bedroom, handmade café curtains and voiles with French ruffle headings in the kitchen and bathrooms, and an ever-rotating selection of design books and unique finds throughout elevate the spaces.

living-room-ceiling-beams-wooden-floor-cottage
cottage-living-room-ceiling-beams-woodburner

Jolene was careful in her furniture and material choices. As the home is mainly used as a holiday rental, it’s important to choose pieces that are durable and timeless. The furniture pieces were chosen for their comfort and timeless designs. As well as the ability to be easily mixed with other furniture and décor pieces.

light-kitchen-the-workers-cottage

High-quality materials and practical finishes ensure that the home is always in pristine condition. For example, in the kitchen, the shaker kitchen cabinets are hand-painted in Limestone by Little Greene and can be refreshed when required.

light-kitchen-butler-sink-open-shelves-nordroom

The lime-plaster walls in the historic rooms of the cottage allow the building to breathe. And the high-quality hardware is complemented by the layering of natural materials such as wool, linen, and stone, which stand the test of time.

Effortless, authentic, timeless, and heritage.

Where do you find inspiration for your home?

Design books, antique stores, and museums.

What are your tips for decorating a dream home?

Take your time. Ignore trends. Visit antique & vintage shops for charming one-off pieces. Focus on natural materials and select finishes that improve with age.

cottage-twin-bedrooms-slanted-ceiling

What is your favorite room and why?

The kitchen – we opened up three tiny rooms to create this space which opens onto the garden. It feels sociable and cozy all at once, and I love to know people who stay comment on how much they too love that space.

bedroom-slanted-ceiling-gray-accents
garden-view-the-workers-cottage

The cottage is surrounded by a large garden with an apple and pear tree that provides a yearly harvest. The garden features an outdoor dining terrace with scenic views of the greenery. The outdoor kitchen was created from reclaimed timber and has flagstone worktops and a butler sink.

Today, I want to share this beautiful Tulum Airbnb home that has also been designed by Terreo Studio. The home is located in the La Veleta area of Tulum, which is a relaxed area, perfect for a recharging holiday in the sun.

And if you like this home, you can find more Airbnb homes that have been designed by Terreo Studio at the end of this article.

Casa Mye is a two-bedroom home located on the ground floor of an artistic, residential complex. As with every home that is designed by Terreo Studio, it has beautiful interiors with custom-made furniture, natural materials, decorative and storage niches, and a beautiful outdoor space with a swimming pool.

The house has an open-plan living room and kitchen with access to the private courtyard garden. The living room is small, but it has a comfortable custom built-in sofa with a round coffee table. And when you open the doors leading to the garden, you include the outdoors with the living area.

The large rustic wooden mirror makes the room feel larger and brighter. On the floor lies a jute rug to create a natural look.

From the living room, you enter the kitchen and dining area. This room also has a built-in bench, just like the sitting room. And the cushions in the same blue shade create a harmonious natural look.

On the opposite side sits a small but perfectly functional kitchen with rustic wooden cabinets and a black worktop with a backsplash. The shelf above the cabinets keeps it airy.

From the kitchen you also have access to the garden area through a stunning arched steel and glass door.

The main bedroom is decorated in a muted blue shade, and it has a rustic wooden wardrobe made from the same wood as the kitchen cabinets.

The second bedroom has a muted pink color scheme. The bed fits perfectly in the niche with on one side a clothing rack and on the other side built-in storage shelves.

The bathroom is stylish, with a sink made from the same materials as the walls, creating a calm and sleek bathroom design.

Through the arch, there is a walk-in shower. I like that the bathroom has black fittings contrasting the light color scheme.
