This beautiful turn-of-the-century home in Sweden (via Valvet) pairs a subtle light grey wall color in the living room with a black ceiling color that is a true focal point in the space.

The combination of the black ceiling with the grey walls is just striking. A dark grey or black ceiling works in very few places, but in this home with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, it gives the home something special. You need quite a bit of ceiling height to make this dramatic ceiling color work. If you live in a place with regular-height ceilings, you might want to go for a slightly lighter color.

Paired with classy furniture, the look of the rooms becomes exclusive and unique. It must be so nice to have a dedicated place for wine in the kitchen as well.

A vintage desk in the hallway provides the apartment with a stylish home office spot, and through those double interior doors, you can observe the black ceiling in the living room.

The clean and minimal kitchen with white kitchen cabinets features an impressive wine cooler, which is a focal point at the same time.

A spacious home office features a black desk paired with a black Panton chair and a beautiful leather lounge chair turns the area in front of the window into a cozy reading nook.

The kid’s bedroom has a subtle light grey wall color, which makes the white trim underneath the ceiling stand out in a lovely way.

The kid’s room features a wall bookshelf with an integrated desk, which is perfect for doing homework.
