Red and white are the colours of Christmas in Denmark, and it’s a mix that Mette KlüwerBrøndgaard loves to use every year in her apartment. ‘Christmas is my favourite time,’ says Mette. ‘We normally fill December with family and friends. We have several Christmas lunches, kids’ baking days and a cocktail night with mulled wine, all of which gather together friends and family.’
Mette and Rasmus have the perfect home for celebrating, filled with light from their big windows. When they found this apartment in Frederiksberg, they had long had their eye on this historic area. ‘It’s a small oasis just 800 meters from the city centre filled with boutiques and small cafes and restaurants,’ says Mette. ‘It’s rare that property comes up for sale here, so we waited patiently for years. When this flat came on the market in 2015 we viewed it on the Friday, saw it had great potential – and an hour later we’d bought it!’
