Sidsel Zachariassen

Det er mere end 10 år siden, jeg første gang så Sidsel Zachariassen. Dengang tonede hun frem på mit tv som stylist i tv-programmet Boligblender (senere i et hav af andre boligprogrammer), og jeg var fascineret af, hvordan hun kunne trylle med farver og smittende humør. Jeg lærte senere Sidsel at kende, da vi begge arbejdede for Bolig Magasinet, og det var med dyb beundring, at jeg skrev artiklen til hendes topinspirerende kolonihavehus, der senere er gået over i historien som Danmarks dyreste kolonihavehus. Men det er heller ikke underligt. For Sidsel er feinschmecker til fingerspidserne, når det kommer til indretning. Ikke på den snobbede, elitære facon, men på en underspillet, personlig og fuldstændig charmerende måde. Hver en detalje er nøje gennemtænkt, og du finder efter min mening ikke mange andre stylister i Danmark, der har Sidsels touch og drive. Og så har hun netop åbnet sin egen butik i Tisvildeleje, Seaons by Sidsel Z, som står på min mustsee-liste her i påsken. Vi ses

Hvad er din baggrund?

Jeg er uddannet som dekoratør i Illums Bolighus og Royal Copenhagen. Her arbejdede jeg i fem år, før jeg startede selvstændig som interiørstylist.

Hvilke typer opgaver løser du?

Jeg laver alt fra privat indretninger til styling af både reklamer og til magasiner. Jeg holder også foredrag, og som noget nyt vil jeg tilbyde workshops, hvor der er mulighed for at lave moodboards og arbejde i dybden med sit hjem.

Hvad har været den vildeste oplevelse i din karriere?

For et par år siden blev jeg ringet op om en privat indretning, hvor jeg ikke helt fik fat i navnet, men kun adressen. Jeg kørte afsted i den tro, at jeg skulle ud til et lille, almindeligt hus nord for København, men jeg kom ud til en kæmpe bolig, hvor en meget kendt person åbnede døren. Da måtte jeg lige synke en ekstra gang, og jeg havde ønsket, jeg ikke stod i min regnjakke…

Hvad er det bedste ved at lave bolig-tv?

At jeg får lov til at komme hjem til mange forskellige mennesker og se, hvordan de lever og bor, og så er det fantastisk at have et helt hold som arbejder for ens ideer. Det er benhårdt, og samtidig bare så utroligt fedt.

Hvad har du gang i lige nu?

Vi har netop åbnet vores nye butik, Seasons by Sidsel Z. Jeg havde en drøm som helt ung om en butik, og det viste sig, at min kæreste havde haft den samme drøm i mange år. Da vi fandt huset her, hvor der var plads til en butik, tog vi springet og gjorde det. Vi er så spændte på, hvordan det kommer til at gå.

Hvad drømmer du om?

Jeg drømmer om, at butikken kommer til at gå rigtig godt, og at jeg samtidig vil blive ved med at have nogle gode stylist job, da jeg ikke har lyst til at undvære den del.

Er der et spørgsmål, du ville ønske, jeg havde spurgt dig om?

Hvordan man kommer derhen, hvor jeg er. Der er mange, der siger, jeg er heldig, men det kræver drønhårdt arbejde. Vi har virkeligt haft meget at se til med ombygning, jobs og ikke mindst en lille baby, der blev født i december. Men jeg føler mig også heldig, at det kan lade sig gøre, og jeg kan arbejde med alle de smukke ting og søde kollegaer i branchen.

It’s been more than 10 years since I saw Sidsel Zachariassen for the first time. Back then she showed up on my TV as a stylist in the TV show Boligblender (later in a bunch of ​​other housing programs), and I was fascinated by how she could conjure with colors and infectious humor. Later, I got to know Sidsel personally when we both worked for Bolig Magasinet, and it was with deep admiration that I wrote the article about her top-inspiring allotment house, which later went down in history as the most expensive in Denmark. But it’s not strange at all. Because Sidsel is an expert when it comes to interior design. Not in a snobbish, elitist fashion, but in an understated, personal and utterly charming way. Every detail is carefully thought through, and there are in my opinion not many other stylists in Denmark, which have Sidsel’s touch and drive. She has just opened her own shop in Tisvildeleje, Seaons by Sidsel Z, which stands on my must-see list during the Easter holidays. See you

What is your background?

I am educated as a decorator in Illums Bolighus and Royal Copenhagen. I worked for five years before I started my own business as an interior stylist.

What types of projects do you do?

I do everything from personal interior decoration to styling of both commercials and magazines. I also give presentations, and most recently, I started my own workshops where you have an opportunity to create mood boards and work in depth with your home.

What has been the craziest experience in your career?

A few years ago I received an offer to do some interior decoration in a private home. I didn’t quite get the name, but only the address. I drove off, thinking that I was going out to a small, ordinary house north of Copenhagen, but it turned out that it was a huge mansion, where a very well-known person opened the door. I had to swallow one more time, and wished that I was not standing there in my raincoat …

What is the best thing about doing interior design-TV?

That I get to come out to many different people’s homes and see how they live, and it’s great to have a whole team working for your ideas. It is very hard, and at the same time just so incredibly rewarding.

What are you doing right now?

We have just opened our new store, Seasons by Sidsel Z. I had a dream when I was young about a shop and it turned out that my boyfriend has had the same dream for many years. When we found this house, where there was room for a shop, we took the chance and did it. We are so excited about how it’s going to work out.

What do you dream about?

I dream that the store is going to go really well, and I also will continue to have some styling jobs, because I do not want to miss that part.

Is there a question you wish I had asked you?

How to get to where I am. A lot of people say I’m lucky, but it requires really hard work. We have had a lot to do with rebuilding the house, our jobs and especially our little baby that was born in December. But I am also lucky that it is possible, and I can work with all the beautiful things and wonderful colleagues in the business.
