King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark have given a rare glimpse inside their palatial home - ten years after the famous couple renovated it to their very specific tastes.

And according to Danish stylist Jacob Holst Mouritzen the single photo reveals much more about the couple and their lives than most would think.

At first glance the image is rather ordinary - and shows the newly appointed King on the sofa with David Lappartient, president of the international cycling union who looks relaxed in the royal's company.

But, says Holst Mouritzen, the details in the photo matter and shouldn't be glossed over.

The first, the drapes, prove the 'royal' or wealthy nature of the family but could easily be glossed over by the average royal watcher.

'The curtains with the classic clunkers. If you have it, then you are either royal or noble upper class - or want to [express] that. You can't afford to have that unless you're a very special person,' he told Danish publication B.T. 

The second feature proves the newly appointed royals are 'modern', something they have worked to demonstrate since taking over from the former Queen.

'This dusty pink velour pouf is very modern, and it has been for a few seasons,' Mouritzen said, adding that 'dusty pink' is 'just the right colour'.

The other details are even more subtle but stood out immediately to the expert.

The first is the alarm system in the corner of the room which has been painted to match the wall instead of just sitting 'clunky and ugly' in the corner.

He said this is something very few people do and shows the Queen's attention to detail.

Next he mentioned the books, claiming they wouldn't have been picked by a PR team but rather reflect the couple's true interests - art and horses.

The books include an art book by Luc Tuymans, who is from Belgium, and a book labelled 'Horses of Qatar'.

'Most Danes have no idea about horse breeding in Qatar, they just know that Qatar is something bad with bad human rights and dead immigrant workers during the World Cup,' he said.

It is well known that Queen Mary is passionate about equestrian sports. 

Mouritzen added that if the pouf had have been dressed for the occasion - and photograph -  it would have had books about Denmark or Danes on it.

The art book, he explained, is a better fit for a royal home as it has 'themes about good and evil, God and history'. 

Other details include the couple's modern lamp vase, a high-end Georg Jensen dish and a pink water jug from Anna von Lipa which costs AUD$163 (€95).
