I am fully committed to creating a platform for the simple, bright and Scandinavian look, which is known throughout the world.
For the past 12 years I have dedicated all my time to blogging and worked freelance with many of the most well-known Danish design brands, contributed to decor magazines and books. In 2017 I published my first book “Scandinavian Style at Home, a Room by Room guide” together with Thames & Hudson.
I've been enjoying your channel for years and believe it is a great ideea to add renovation content with more details about what it has been used to get to the final results ( for ex what kitchen furniture it was used for your kitchen and so on ...) keep the good work as it is inspiring and relaxing
No, dont do home reno channel, seize the day and expand your existing channel into showing contemporary and historical design in Europe. For example if you did a Euro tour you could interview designers and visit design museums. As I see it, you would go from being slightly quirky to being more like a fully fledged youtuber with a lot of viewers.
As I'm a great fan of all Vipp locations this would be my 1st choice followed by the Svinkløv Badehotel - it's got real historic charm. Unfortunately I have not stayed in either of them.
Which of these Danish design gems would you want to stay in? 🤔✨ Personally, I’m torn between the cozy seaside vibes of Svinkløv Badehotel and the sleek, modern style of Audo Copenhagen! Let me know your favorite in the comments below - and if you’ve already stayed at one, spill the details! 😍👇 #DanishDesignDreams
The video is amazing! Please, next time just think about turning off or lowering the music in some parts 🤍 I feel like the video would be much better with no noise or only the background silence and occasional sound of materials reacting to your walk and touch. Would be much more soothing ☺️ I love your content, even if you don’t change anything ❤️
Allan!! This is Mr. Stephen and I LOVE the new vlog just focusing on your home and your journey to make it your happy place. I love everything! It's such a beautiful home. ❤
Hi Professor Torp.🎓👋🏾🌞 Oh my! you have worked very hard. ' The old lady' looks lovely.👌🏾🏡 Well done. All your effort has and continues to pay off. Your apple tree is divine. The log shed is impressive. It has been lovely to see her brought back to life for you and hubby and hopefully to the next owner. Oh my goodness, let's look for a midcentury property. We would ❤ that. Take care. London is here.🇬🇧🇧🇻. Till next time.
You're moving already?! Why? Now that the place looks great and you have your grounds the way you want it with all those lovely fruit trees and berry shrubs, peace and quiet and room to invite friends and family...I thought you'd be there for quite a while, very surprised.
I think you can certainly add those ideas into this channel. I enjoy watching the transformation of the house, sometimes I think that if the previous owners could see how much you take such care of the house, they would be immensely impressed!
du kan sagtens have en kanal med både renovering og design råd/nyheder , det er der flere der har, det giver afveksling og det er nemmere at lave videoer oftere, jeg har bidt mæreke i dem der kun taler design på deres kanal tilsidst ender med at gentage det samme igen og igen, eller de bliver til en reklame for Amazon, det er egentlig en mulighed for dig at have flere emner på din kanal som alligevel er i samme genre , så flot huset er!!!, spændende hvor i flytter hen
Tak for input. Personligt, kan jeg godt lide at man ved hvad der kommer på kanalen man følger, så hellere færre videoer uden alt for mange gentagelser. Jeg kan også se, at videoer om design, normalt gør sig bedre her på kanalen, end f.eks. mine videoer om andre ting. Det er jo heller ikke alle ens følgere, der konsekvent ser alle de videoer man uploader.
For me when I follow someone, I like their content to be pretty consistent, which is why I think I need two channels. On this channel, I see my content about interior design, generally do much better than say reno content
Thank you so much! 😄 Haha, no need to hold your breath-I promise the next update is coming soon! 🏡💨 But if you're that excited, I must be doing something right! Stay tuned, because the next house update might just take your breath away (in a good way)! 😉
This reminds me of so many German homes that I remember as a kid in the 90s. They had warm woods, simple lines and big and beautiful windows, oftentimes there was a perceptible Japanese influence. It’s like a retro version of today’s Japandi style. It’s the reason I recently renovated my kitchen in this style as well, like Allan said it just feels amazing and comforting to be in a space like that.
Wow, sounds like you captured the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern comfort! 🤩 It’s amazing how the warm woods, clean lines, and big windows from those homes made such a lasting impression. And you're spot on-there’s definitely a retro-Japandi vibe going on! Combining that natural, serene feeling with a minimalist design is like the best of both worlds. I bet your kitchen is a total sanctuary now! 🍃 What’s your favorite part of the renovation?
@@AllanTorp thank you for your comment. I actually watched a lot of your content when planning my kitchen renovation which helped immensely! It’s hard to say what my favorite part of my new kitchen is because all the elements play off each other so nicely but the color scheme in general is just so calming with a mix of mid-tone woods, white countertops with gray and gold veining, light gray stone floors and pops of black. Sounds very formulaic when you write it out but it really is a winning combination for a serene space. There’s a reason why Scandi and minimalist-inspired design is so enduring!
Hi Professor Torp. Lovely to see you.🎉🙂 Lectures are in session.📚 We're back on track to getting our degrees from Torp University. Thank you. London is here🎖🎓🇬🇧.
Ah, welcome back to Torp University-where retro design is always on the syllabus! 😄📚 I hope you're ready for another lesson in mid-century magic! London in the house 🇬🇧-let’s make sure you graduate with honors in 70s nostalgia. Class is officially in session! 🎓✨ What’s your favorite retro trend we’ve covered so far?
Who else is loving the 70s design comeback? 🍂 Which retro element would you bring back into your home - wood paneling, vintage tiles, or something else? Let me know your thoughts! 👇 #RetroRevival"
I'm old enough to remember these designs as ultramodern and visionary. The Jetsons! I'm nostalgic for a futuristic vision never quite materialized. Vietnam War, racial conflict, and neo-fascism destroyed "the dream we dreamed".
What a fascinating perspective! 🌟 The Jetsons really did capture that space-age optimism, didn’t they? It's wild how the futuristic designs of the 60s and 70s felt like they were straight out of sci-fi, but the reality didn’t quite match the dream. While the social and political turmoil definitely shifted the vibe, it's cool to see that at least the style of that era is getting a second chance. Maybe this time we can bring the beauty of the past and mix it with the lessons we’ve learned! What would your ideal "futuristic" home look like today? 🚀💫
@AllanTorp I dreamed of renovating one of those beautiful mushroom shaped water towers into a sky high penthouse with a elevator lifting me to the top. A 360° view!.
@@kennethdimmick2118 Wow, talk about a dream home with a view! 🏰🌍 A mushroom-shaped water tower turned into a sky-high penthouse? That’s next-level retro-futuristic living! 🚀 An elevator to the top and a 360° view sounds like the perfect mix of luxury and whimsy. I can already imagine the sunsets you'd see from up there! 🌅 Have you ever thought about how you'd decorate it-would you go full retro or mix in modern touches? 😄
Hi and thanks for this. I have an IKEA leaf side table in great condition that I thrift bought for about $10 Canadian dollars. I presume it is not vintage, but rather an IKEA re-issue. Wondering how one would tell.
Thanks for watching, and what a fantastic find! 🙌 The IKEA Leaf table (or Lövet table) is such a classic piece. To tell if yours is a vintage original or a re-issue, check the table’s underside for any markings or labels. Vintage Lövet tables from the 1950s often have a stamp with "Made in Sweden" and a more angular, almost triangular leg design. The re-issues tend to have rounded legs and a newer IKEA label. Either way, you scored a great deal! Enjoy your piece of IKEA history! 🍁✨
Glad to have found your channel. Very well-put. Per your request: Among my favourite (dining) chairs, is Michael Thonet’s bentwood chair. It is lightweight, comfortable, timeless & minimalistic. As for the 7 trends, I like the silver& wood. However, I am not too keen about the animal prints, or the rice paper lamps. I have had those lamps before. They are fragile & hard to clean. They collect dust, though love their looks.
Welcome to the channel! 🎉 I'm so glad you're here! Michael Thonet’s bentwood chair is a true classic-timeless, elegant, and so versatile. I'm with you on the silver & wood combo; it's such a chic pairing! I totally get your thoughts on rice paper lamps-they do have that delicate beauty but can be a bit high-maintenance. And hey, animal prints aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s the beauty of design-there’s something for everyone! Thanks for sharing your favorites-love hearing your thoughts!
I have a piece of IKEA history I will never sell….it’s their catalogue from 2010 where they had a room set-up and my toddler and I are on the cover- PRICELESS!
Wow, now that’s a piece of IKEA history you can’t put a price on! 🥰 How amazing to have a catalog cover starring you and your little one! Talk about the ultimate IKEA collectible! Forget the furniture-your cover is the real treasure here. Thanks for sharing such a special memory! 📸✨
Hey there from Australia, I’m tossing up between here & Scandic Copenhagen. Just wondering if this room had a mini fridge? Love the style of this room even if it means sharing a bed with my mother 😂
The two hotels are very different, I would most def go for this one. However, I can remember about a mini fridge. Maybe ask the hotel directly before booking.
I LOVE the PK22, probably my very favourite chair. But I love the version in rattan. Also the elegant lines of its matching recliner. They just seem to float above the ground. So elegant and Zen in their styling: the epitome of “modern” in probably any future century!
I have the IKEA cork coffee table/bench, light natural cork colour with the black legs, designed by a British designer, i’ve forgotten her name. But I don’t want to ever part with it! I’m kicking myself that I had just missed 2 of the matching cork stools when one IKEA store, here in Queensland Australia, had dropped the price to AUD$19.99, from AUD$99!! The designer pieces often go out super cheap when stock is very low and its the end of their production - but these clearance sale prices are rarely listed online here, as they go out in one day, or a few hours!!
I wish I could find some great finds like that out on the street....too many people around here go out on the nights where you are supposed to toss out your unwanted furniture and they actually drive around picking up the best stuff, clean it up, refurbish it and put it up for sale....maybe, if the weather is lousy they stay home...but then I don't want to go out on bad weather days either...LOL!
I had 5 of those Guide shelfs and was using them for my books. I hated it that they were opened and collected dust so they were replaced and went to the garage and when I moved they went on the curb :)
Wow, that’s an incredible story! Isn’t it funny how the things we once found annoying can become such valuable treasures? 😄 I bet those shelves are making someone else very happy now! If only we all had a crystal ball for future collectibles. Thanks for sharing your IKEA adventure! 📚✨
