We're admiring Hverdagen, a newish restaurant in Copenhagen’s Kødbyen neighborhood with warm, clean-lined interiors, paper lanterns, and terra cotta-colored details, the work of Danish studio Vermland, founded by cabinet maker Joakim Tolf Vulpius and young architect Anton Bak. Here are some details we like.

1. Hang the table: The center table is suspended from the ceiling—without any screws or nails, thanks to clever joinery.

2. Keep to a tight color palette.

3. Disguise the W.C. (behind a pink curtain).

4. Add texture with dried branches.

5. Add tiny, subtle checkered patterns (like these, on the seat backs).
