This gorgeous modern summer house in Sweden has the traditional Swedish red outside walls, yet the large windows and modern structure give it a contemporary look. The interior is fitted with white shiplap walls in all the rooms, which matches the outside walls. The concrete tile flooring in the downstairs area adds a contrasting element to the white walls and the elegant mixture of modern and classic furniture pieces makes for an elegant interior.
Upstairs, you can find a bedroom and an office space, which looks out on the balcony from which you can oversee the beautiful lake. The outdoor area includes two patios: one for lounging and one with an outdoor dining table.
A cozy modern summer house interior with traditional shiplap walls
The tall and narrow windows in the living room look out onto the impressive green trees outside, which is an element that also comes back in the green indoor plants spread throughout the space.
The white fabric sofa combined with the contemporary coffee table in a dark wood tone that sits on a natural rug fits wonderfully in the interior.
Above the TV, open shelving is applied, which has an impressive effect on the sofa area. I love the way the dark tones in the accessories stand out against the white walls and shelving.
A black metal fireplace is surrounded by a white structure, with added storage space for firewood, which makes for an interesting element that cozies up the look.
The round dining table with the oak dining chairs fits perfectly in between the sofa area and the kitchen and looks out over the outdoor dining area. The amphora with the rubber tree fits perfectly into the corner by the windows,
A wood kitchen with an open ceiling
Even though the wood kitchen is a bit dated, it does fit nicely against the white shiplap walls and the grey tile floor. The second floor doesn’t extend over the kitchen area, which allows for an impressive ceiling height that is accentuated by the many double-height windows.
A small and cozy bedroom with a minimal look
The bedroom is minimal yet cozy, with the shiplap bedroom walls defining the small space. The floating shelf above the bed adds a subtle spot to the look for displaying small accessories and books.
A two-person workspace looking out over the lake
In the area between the balcony and the railing that looks out over the kitchen, you can find a two-person workspace with a storage module in the middle and a beautiful pinboard on the wall.
On the second level of the home, the hardwood flooring has been painted white just like the walls, which gives this space an all-white impression. Since the desk and storage module are also white, this makes the wooden chairs stand out in a lovely way.
Storage underneath the staircase
The area underneath the staircase is used for a sideboard and wall storage, which is a great optimization of this otherwise lost space.
Spacious outside lounge areas to enjoy the Swedish summer
The area underneath the upstairs balcony is a great spot for a large dining table. This way, the outdoor spot is protected from rain and the chain lights add extra coziness to the setting.
Underneath the sun tarp, you can find a cozy lounge area that is great for reading a book in the summer.
