Abandoned Pencil Factory Converted Into A Lovely Family Home

The current owners of this luminous and beautiful house used to live in an apartment which actually looked great but had become too small for their recently enlarged family. They had to find a new place to live, somewhere with more air, more light and more space. They found this abandoned pencil factory and had the wonderful idea of transforming it into their dream home.

The factory is located in central Copenhagen, Denmark and it’s now very different from its original state. Not only that it has been renovated but it was also completely redesigned.

As you enter, you see a beautiful and spacious kitchen with an adjacent dining area and a living room. The kitchen is placed in a niche so it’s part of the apartment’s common area but also a separate space.

The owners wanted everything to be perfect and they paid special attention to all the little details. Their efforts paid off when they finally saw the result. What used to be an abandoned old factory is now a stunning family home with large living spaces, stylish furniture and carefully-chosen accessories.

The windows are not particularly large but they let it lots of natural light which is very important for the owners. To emphasize the bright décor, a luminous color palette was used throughout. The industrial design that the building used to have is almost completely gone, although there are certain elements reminiscent of its history.{found on bobedre}.
