White floors and brown tones in a historic Swedish apartment

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Henrik Linden, for sale via Alvhem) has bright white floors, that do a great job reflecting the daylight coming from the large windows. The walls in the living room and office are painted in light and modest colors, making the brown and blue tones in the decor stand out.

The asymmetrical floor plan in the kitchen provides ample space for two kitchen modules and a large dining table by the window. The white subway tiles backsplash finishes the kitchen design off nicely and adds a subtle industrial touch.

The light beige walls of the bedroom are paired with a mixture of white, beige, and brown tones. in the textiles and accessories for a warm and inviting look.

Dark brown, black, and grey tones stand out against the light beige living room walls

The light beige living room walls are subtle, yet they make the white-painted hardwood floors, white ceilings, and moldings stand out. The sheer white curtains frame the historic windows and can be closed for privacy when it’s dark out.

The dark grey sofa paired with a dark oak coffee table set and beige and brown tones in the textiles and art prints add a beautiful contrast against the light palette of the walls and floors in the space.

The vintage chest of drawers fits beautifully against the wall by the window, and I love the way the light armchair stands out in front of it.

The green plants finish the look and add about the only pop of color in this living room setting.

The TV is mounted on the wall next to the doorway, paired with a wall-mounted console to keep books and electronics.

Home office with cool grey walls

The color palette in the home office space is much cooler than the one in the adjacent living room. The cool grey walls are paired with blue details in the area rug underneath the guest bed and the warm tones in the desk by the window stand out against this cool grey backdrop.

The vintage desk includes storage on each side and adds a lot of character to this space.

The wall space on either side of the historic double interior doors is filled with a wall shelf and a mirror that reflects the space nicely.

The budget-friendly IKEA Bodbyn kitchen cabinets look high-end in this elegant setup.

The white subway tile backsplash has a darker grout color, which adds a lovely texture to the kitchen. The backsplash makes the brass kitchen faucet stand out and adds an industrial touch to the space.

Beige bedroom walls and darker beiges in the textiles

The light beige bedroom walls make the white floors and doors stand out and add a soft warm touch to the interior. The darker beige and white textiles on the bed stand out from this look and the wood tones in the mirror and wall hanger contribute to making this color palette warmer.
