A children’s room with a swing and starry views

Morten and Charlotte had had enough on their plates renovating the inside of the house and had not got to the roof yet. "We had issues with a cold, poor indoor climate, something that better insulation and a new roof could help us with. And now that we were about to get things going in any case, we came up with the idea of putting the ceiling up to the roof ridge and doing something extra with the kids' room. That being the case, it made sense to get the most out of the rooms within it and make them both more spacious and more exciting to be in," says Morten.

The new children's room has become an experience room, bathed in daylight from the four VELUX roof windows, making full use of the room's new ceiling height. "It's made a massive difference to the boys' experience of the room - it's now a place where they want to be, whereas before they weren't that keen to use it. The desk beneath the windows is a fantastic place they can sit and draw - and do homework, when the time comes - and in the meantime it's a great workspace for us adults. In the evening, the children can lie there and look up at the stars and the moon from their beds, and that's something that has made an impression on them," Morten reveals.
