Steal This Look: Dining Room at Lidkøeb in Copenhagen

As winter weather sets in, we’re looking to Nordic countries for design inspiration. Like Copenhagen’s Lidkøeb bar, set in an 18th-century brick building and outfitted with capacious armchairs, ruddy sheepskins, warm wood, and amber glass. Here are the key elements to re-create the comforting look.
