A studio apartment with a loft bed built on top of a home office

post

This gorgeous studio apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Linnéa H. Manaberi, photographed by Peter Pousard, via Alvhem) makes efficient use of the high ceilings, by integrating a loft bed inside the space that can be accessed through the custom staircase in the sofa area.

The loft bed sits on top of a home office space and the module separates the open floor plan into five main areas: a sofa section, dining area, kitchen corner, home office, and sleeping area. The visual distinction between the different areas is clear, optimizing the layout of this studio flat.

The black-and-white color palette in the apartment is enriched with brown and beige tones for a bright aesthetic that makes the apartment look more spacious.

The section in front of the window is slightly elevated, lifting the sofa and dining area, and separating it from the kitchen. A loft bed is constructed around the home office, accessible through the staircase in the sofa area.

The staircase going up to the loft bed is hollow, allowing extra space for storage and for adding decor items on display. The wall next to the staircase is used for hanging a TV, perfectly opposite the sofa.

The color palette of the living area is very neutral, with a white couch and white area rug setting the stage. The gallery wall adds a unique look to this setting and the black accents in the accessories add a lovely contrast to the interior.

The loft bed is decorated in a neutral color palette, just like the downstairs area. The brown tones in the textiles on the bed are paired with beiges and a grey carpet finishes the flooring underneath the bed.

From the loft bed, you can look down on the cozy sofa area below.

Next to the sofa and kitchen, you can find a small bar table attached to the wall, with two classic bentwood bar stools. The black table and chairs add to the contrast in the interior.

A corner kitchen to optimize the studio layout

A corner layout kitchen is installed to use the available space as efficiently as possible. By pushing the kitchen into the corner, the space looks open and spacious.

The dark wood kitchen cabinets work well with the overall color palette in the apartment.

Underneath the loft bed, you can find a closed room for a home office. The wall next to the doorway is used for a sideboard with a large round mirror, which reflects the space and makes it look bigger.

The home office space is decorated in a natural color palette as well. The large standing mirror reflects some daylight into the space that doesn’t get any direct daylight.

A small hallway next to the main studio space offers a space for adding a large wardrobe and storage for jackets and shoes.

Cream walls in the living room paired with eggshell bedroom walls

post

This beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Mariah Sahlander for Stadshem) has a historic double interior door separating the bedroom from the living room. This sem-open floor plan allows a clear view from one room into the other. The complementing color palettes of both rooms add a subtle yet powerful touch to the interior.

The living room has a warm cream wall color on the walls, complemented by a mixture of dark and light grey elements, paired with a few touches of beige. The large stone coffee table is the focal point of this room.

The bedroom has an eggshell wall color, paired with muted tone textiles on the bed and in the art print. Lastly, the black galley kitchen with white countertops makes space for a small, cozy dining area in front of the window.

The soft cream wall color in the living room accentuates the crisp white ceiling and crown molding in this historic space. The white of the ceiling comes back in the fluffy white area rug and is matched by a white couch to brighten the palette even more.

A bright blue bedroom in an apartment with a dark wood floor

post

This apartment with dark wood flooring for sale in Sweden (styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Krister Engström for Kvarteret Makleri) has a bright blue bedroom that sets the stage for the apartment decor. The blue also comes back in the blue sofa color in the living room.

The distressed door in between the bedroom and living room adds a rustic charm to the space and I love that you can see the bedroom wall color from the living room. Apart from the touches of blue, the decor in the apartment is neutral and natural, which complements the dark wood flooring nicely.

The simple white kitchen has a dark wood countertop that complements the color of the hardwood flooring and a cozy dining area in front of the kitchen window completes this space perfectly.

A dark blue kitchen, living room, and bedroom in a unique historic flat

post

This historic apartment in Sweden (Styled by Thomas Lingsell, photographed by Therese Jahnson for Historiska Hem) has an asymmetrical floor plan and a great use of colors throughout the interior that result in a unique interior look.

The dining room seems to be the center of the apartment, where most rooms come out. The dark blue walls of the living room match the deep blue color of the sofa, for a dramatic effect and a cozy vibe. The neighboring kitchen has dark blue cabinets paired with a red sofa in the kitchen seating area for a bold effect.

The main bedroom also has a dark blue wall color, while the two smaller bedrooms have a wall color that ranges on the green scale.

An attic apartment with dark grey floors and a neutral decor

post

This beautiful attic apartment with alcove windows and exposed wood beams (styled by Living Deco, photographed by Maria Sahlander for Stadshem) has a dark grey floor treatment. This dark flooring is brightened up by a light interior color palette in both the spacious living room and the bedroom.

The small kitchen is a part of the living space. The dining table is a great separator between the kitchen and the rest of the living room. You can find a small desk to work from home on the wall next to the bedroom.

The bedroom is rather small, however, it fits a small double bed comfortably. The color palette in this room shares the one in the rest of the apartment.

The dark grey vinyl flooring in the apartment is matched by the dark paint color on the exposed wood beams and contrasts with the white walls and ceilings in the space. A large white area rug brightens up a large portion of the flooring. The white fabric sofa and white armchair make the look even lighter.

A combination of beige and red tones adds a warm element to the interior. The round wood coffee table next to the sofa breaks up all the white in this area.

The space next to the bedroom is used for a small home office spot. The low-ceiling areas of an attic apartment are always a little trickier to decorate, however, they are great for areas where you sit down anyway, like a desk.

The kitchen is part of the large living room as well. The corner layout of the kitchen allows for an open plan, where the dining table can take center stage.

The kitchen itself is a bit dated, however, it’s brought to life by the beautiful combination of accessories.

Sage green walls and a limewash accent wall in the bedroom

This beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden (via Alvhem) has an open-plan living kitchen that connects to the light-flooded living room. The color selected for the living room walls has a dark sage green tone, bringing out the warmth from the exposed brick wall in the kitchen and dining area.

The dining area connects the kitchen with the living room and the wall towards the kitchen has been opened to create a spacious open floorplan. The simple white kitchen has partly exposed brick wall elements, which add a unique element to the space.

The bedroom has a grey limewash accent wall, that stands out from the living room. The rest of the bedroom, including the wardrobe, is painted white, for a lovely contrast in the space.

The wall in between the kitchen and living room is partly removed, creating a doorway with exposed brick on either side. The dining table stands underneath this opening and connects both areas.

In front of the kitchen, you can find a beautiful oval dining table paired with smoked oak dining chairs just a few wood tints lighter than the kitchen cabinets. A niche space in front of the window is used for a home office spot with a beautiful view over the rooftops.

The dark wood kitchen cabinets are finished with beige limestone countertops and a modern chrome faucet. The countertop material comes back in the backsplash as well for a finished look.

Small and subtle hardware adds a minimal and elegant touch to the kitchen cabinets. Note that the kitchen counter continues into the niche space next to the window, utilizing this rather awkward attic layout to create more countertop space for a coffee machine.

A sofa area on the other side of the living kitchen

The dining table separates the kitchen from the sofa area on the other side of the room. The area rug underneath the sofa visually separates this area from the rest of the space.

A white sofa is paired with a white area rug for a light base palette from which the dark wood tones stand out. The combination of white and dark wood matches perfectly with the material palette in the rest of the apartment.

An entryway with custom storage modules

The entryway has an assymetric floor plan, which is always a little trickier to decorate. A custom wardrobe module enhances the space and provides it with lots of storage space. A dark oak open shelving brings the dark wood aesthetic to this section of the apartment as well.
