I’m in love with this Swedish home, which is a little dark and moody because of the grey walls and the dark wooden furniture, yet also has a certain lightness over it because of all the beautiful natural light coming in through these windows.

Both the living room and the bedroom have been painted in a darker grey wall color, which works well in those rooms because of all the natural light they get. The hallway has been kept lighter, which makes sense because it’s the darkest area in the home and it has these beautiful distressed walls, which also makes it a great eye-catcher.

The light sofa and area rug in the living room brighten up the area in front of the window, which contrasts so nicely against the vintage wooden table combined with a mixture of black chairs. The beautiful arrangement of art prints covers the entire wall behind the table, which is a beautiful feature that adds lots of character.

The bedroom is small, yet fits the bed exactly and the window sills are used as a bedside table, which works well I think. The bed is made with these beautiful chequered bed sheets* and the white linen curtains* in front of the window dims out the light just slightly for a more dreamy look.
