The use of black accent pieces in this turn-of-the-century Swedish home is so on point. The living room has a lot of contrast especially, with the white sofa and coffee table, combined with the black area rug underneath it. The cognac leather butterfly chair, combined with the brown and warm grey textiles on the sofa* warm up this black and white palette, which makes it look much cozier.

This black accent palette is continued in the kitchen with black hardware, where the cupboards and dining table are matt black. A custom-made black cabinet going from floor to ceiling next to the old stove makes for a perfect spot to display pretty kitchen accessories and I love how the black radiator stands out as well. The beige linen curtains* work very nicely with the beige artwork on the wall in the dining corner, these warm tints work wonderfully with all the black and with the white subway tile backsplash.

In the bedroom, the bed is placed in the middle of the room in front of the window, giving this space a luxurious look. I love the linen headboard cover and the sheer white curtains* that let in all the sunlight.
