So much character and personality are added to this home by the use of accessories, prints, and textiles, which is a great way to create a space that feels like home. You can pick out the details you like and gather a combination of objects that no one else has. Throw in some handmade or vintage pieces and it looks even more unique.
This Swedish apartment has good basic elements: a beautiful herringbone floor and lots of natural light coming in through the windows. The grey walls in the living room are brightened up by the white linen curtains*, light beige sofa, the teddy armchair, and the beautiful fabric pendant light hanging above the coffee table. The low, black shelving that extends along the entire wall creates a lovely spot to display books, objects, and a wonderful selection of art prints that add personality to the space.
Going from the living room to the kitchen, you pass the hallway, which doubles as a little home office. By attaching a narrow desk to the wall, the piece is not in the way when you walk by it, but it still creates a surface for working from your laptop or doing paperwork. The kitchen has a beautiful dining area especially, with a wooden dining table and chairs, combined with a delicate rice paper lampshade and a lovely red branch that adds an autumn mood to this area.
The bedroom has been painted in a dark muted green color, from which the white bed and bedding stand out. The stripes on the duvet cover add a playful touch to this room and I love the vintage dresser that stands underneath the window. By painting it white it gets a whole new life and adds character to this bedroom.
