This historic home (Styled by Asa Copparstad, photographed by Frederic Boukari for Historiska Hem) is replete with both antique and modern details that make it an artful abode. A home office drenched in vibrant color adds another touch of drama to an already avant-garde space.

Welcome to the Light-Drenched Living Room

Sandy, neutral-colored walls allow everything else in this large living room to shine. Tall windows flood the room with sunlight, and the warm hardwood floors lend it a welcoming vibe.

Even though this home is historic, it’s punctuated with modern features, like the contemporary sculptural pendant lights hanging overhead. Colorful, abstract works of art put a punctuation mark on this boldly designed space. 

Dental crown molding and a brass fireplace remind us that this home has stunning original details. A simple wooden dining table and chairs rest underneath a linear pendant light, so everyone has a place to enjoy a delicious meal while gazing at the view beyond. 

Soft textures on the floor and furniture give this living room a relaxed vibe. A woven basket and potted tree bring elements of earthy, natural appeal.

A wider view of this unique living room really showcases the melding of vintage and modern design. The light fixtures, furniture, and architectural details create a beautiful marriage of styles.

A Bold, Brilliant Office Space

This color-drenched home office features a brilliant coral hue that covers the entire space from floor to ceiling. Even the built-in shelves are coated in color, creating an almost mystical escape.

A vintage wooden desk pays homage to the original features of this home. Wood herringbone floors also give tribute to the details that make this space a historic treasure.

A unique built-in seating area with a black cushion adds a comfy space to sit back and relax between tasks. The pair of wall sconces lends more light, while the black and white artwork breaks up the space between shelving.

In the corner, a tall white fireplace resembling a castle infuses the office with warmth and regality. There’s no shortage of storage here, thanks to a myriad of shelves and cabinets.

While this home office feels a bit moody, the window keeps things light and bright. A potted houseplant rests on the windowsill, reminding you that nature always reigns supreme.

Simple Features Evoke Sleek Sophistication 

Classic white upper cabinets and light gray stone countertops work in harmony to give this kitchen an elevated yet understated look. Wood lower cabinets add a nice visual counterbalance to the space.

Rather than choosing something ornate, the vent hood is a simple box painted in the same color as the wall. This keeps the entire kitchen in sync with the sleek, elevated design.

A pair of brilliant, colorful, abstract framed art pieces infuses this kitchen with vibrancy. The modern black and white wall sconce and tall potted tree round out this space’s focal point.

A built-in bench under the large window serves as seating instead of using traditional furniture. The small wooden table provides a quick place for coffee or a casual meal.

The homeowner took advantage of every available space in this home, including the windowsill. A decorative pitcher and books are neatly nestled here to add a lived-in look and feel.

Bold Architectural Details Envelope the Hallway 

An arched bulkhead and unusual shape make this hallway a one-of-a-kind space. The homeowner has chosen to drench this area in a warmer terra cotta color that immediately gives it an inviting vibe. 

One door in the hallway leads to the bedroom, while others take guests directly to the main living area. The beautifully preserved hardwood floors are carried throughout the home, starting here, then taking you to every other room. 

A tall built-in makes storage easy and convenient. The upper and lower cabinets allow hidden space for anything you need to keep hidden from view, while an open cubby adds a convenient place for mail, handbags, and more. 

Instead of the traditional wall hooks or shelves, this hallway boasts an unusual storage piece. The curved edges with shelving, small cabinets, and spots for shoes blend convenience with elevated style.

A Quiet Retreat

This comfortable bedroom features a set of glass doors leading to a small balcony. It’s the perfect place to awaken to the sunrise, sip on a cup of coffee, or stargaze before bedtime.

Warm tones and neutral hues keep this bedroom soothing and calm. The wood and linen work beautifully together to give it a natural, harmonious feel.

Rather than a dresser or traditional closet, this bedroom boasts a tall wood armoire for clothing, shoes, and other items. The floor-to-ceiling silhouette makes it a bold feature that complements the white column-shaped fireplace.
