Cille Fjord’s home in Odense, Denmark, is an exercise in atmosphere: warm tones, layered walls and an intuitive eye. Inside the café owner and influencer’s classic brick villa, which she shares with her husband and two sons (and another on the way), her approach to interiors is intuitive rather than fixed. “I don’t know if there is a specific architectural style,” she says. “I like to go with vibes – and let that feeling lead.” The result is a space with classic character and a contemporary sense of ease, where rooms feel composed but never precious – lived in, layered and shaped by memory as much as aesthetics.

Seven years ago, Cille and her two younger sisters founded Café Unika, built around quality and craft, as well as a desire to make people feel looked after – through the food, the atmosphere and the small details. Alongside the café, they also run Unika Living, their lifestyle brand of handmade ceramics and carefully chosen pieces.

Cille describes her home as a meeting of “historical character and modern calm,” where “a contemporary aesthetic meets a kind of collage of memories and bohemian energy.” She brings that warmth into the home through mood and colour. “A touch of Mexican hacienda,” she notes, sits alongside Scandinavian restraint, anchored by warm, natural tones. For Cille, quality, atmosphere and materials matter more than shifting trends, creating a home where stories and memories are allowed to live on.

If one room captures the tempo of daily life, it is the kitchen. The home’s beating heart, it is where Cille spends the most hours – moving between packing lunches for her sons and developing new recipes for the café. When it comes to choosing art, harmony comes first. Cille is drawn to “colours that harmonise,” and to lighter shades that bring “a lovely synergy to the room.” She loves having many things on the walls, including an embroidered bedspread hung in the living room as a larger art piece.

Her Curated by selection follows the same logic. She gravitates towards hand-drawn works that awaken memories and feelings of childhood – “in a way, it helps create the hygge,” she says. Colour is kept in dialogue rather than pushed into high contrast, aiming for calm and comfort across the rooms. Her favourite print is Fashion Diva 01 by Hanna Peterson – a piece that captures what she looks for when art becomes part of a home: something you can live with, return to and feel, every time you pass it.
