This gorgeous Swedish flat with sand walls (sold via Historiska Hem) has a clean and minimal decor that makes the historic details of the building stand out in an elegant way. The combined dining and living room is connected to the kitchen, which has simple white cabinets and a cute bench in front of the window that can be used as a breakfast nook.

The bedroom is my favorite space in the apartment, as the decor pairs perfectly with the greige walls, and the careful selection of accessories and textiles enhances the look of this space.

As a smart solution to work from home, a small walk-in closet is transformed into an office space with a floating desk paired with a few floating shelves for storage space.

Living and dining room with greige walls

The combined dining and living room has the most subtle greige paint color on the walls, which makes the white floorboards, crown molding underneath the ceiling, and the white doors stand out. The elegant light wood dining table pairs nicely with the off-white dining chairs and the next to the table finishes the look off perfectly.

The beige linen curtains add a warm tone to the setting and warm up the beautiful daylight coming through the big historic windows.

The subtle brown and warm grey tones in the sofa, marble coffee table, and textiles also come back in the colors of the art print. These brown elements add a lovely contrast to the otherwise minimal space.

Simple white kitchen with a bench by the window

The modest kitchen with white cabinets is continued all the way up to the ceiling, allowing for lots of storage space in the kitchen. The closed cabinets are mixed up by a tall open cupboard where a selection of pretty ceramics is displayed.

The bench and side table in front of the table create a small breakfast nook, which can be used for having your morning coffee.

Stylish bedroom with greige walls

The bedroom walls are painted in a subtle beige paint color paired with a mixture of browns and beiges in the textiles, art prints, and accessories. The large windows let in an abundance of daylight, which is reflected into the space by the round mirror on the wall opposite the bed.

The warm brown tones in the textiles on the bed and the white bedside table with the classic table lamp stand out nicely against the subtle paint color on the bedroom wall.

The large area rug underneath the bed adds a lovely texture on top of the white-soaped hardwood flooring and allows you to rest your feet on soft wool when stepping out of bed. The brown sculptural lounge chair makes for a beautiful sitting area in the bedroom.

Danish design brand Vipp has opened the doors of a new countryside guesthouse in Ostuni, one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. The design of the guesthouse was realized in collaboration with the Dutch design studio Studiotoff who are specialized in adaptive reuse and renovation projects.

The whitewashed building so typical of Puglia’s scenic landscape holds a one-story family guesthouse that goes in line with the architectural style of the area. The edges of the 1.5 ha plot are lined with a low dry-stone wall which is a local tradition to define your piece of land. The villa itself stands in sharp contrast against the rugged natural scenery.

A modern living space with a light grey kitchen

The living kitchen is characterized by the modern light grey kitchen with stainless steel countertops that contribute to a modern design aesthetic. The curated furniture selection harmonizes perfectly with a selection of rural countryside objects.

The concrete flooring and white walls set the stage for the grey Vipp kitchen and the grey sectional sofa, which seem to both blend in and stand out in this setting at the same time.

A trio of black metal wall lights stand out against the white wall and provide the perfect countertop lighting while cooking.

The Vipp sculpture table lamp is perfect for atmospheric lighting at night and it matches the design language of the iconic Vipp bin right next to it.

A separate larger cupboard holds the oven and fridge on top of which you can find a beautiful selection of Italian pottery that contrasts with the clean and modern lines of the kitchen.

Cozy yet minimal bedrooms with a mixture of modern and rustic elements

Just like in the rest of the interior, the bedrooms are decorated in a cozy, yet minimal way, with a mixture of modern design elements paired with rustic accessories and details to make the space inviting and to make it match the style of the area.

The second bedroom pairs a minimal bed frame with a modern table lamp and a rustic wall hanging and bench for a beautiful mixture of styles which adds a unique effect to the interior.

A minimal white bathroom with a beautiful view

Outdoor terrace and pool

A large rooftop terrace overlooks the veranda and pool area below. The lounge area is perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring, while the infinity pool is perfect to cool down. Both the lounge and pool area are decorated with Vipp’s outdoor furniture range.

This beautiful Swedish apartment (sold by Alvhem) has an open layout plan that connects the living room to the kitchen via the dining room. The view from one side of the apartment all the way to the other side is impressive, to say the least, and you can see that the opening towards the kitchen was made at a later point during renovations.

The dining room and living room are decorated with a mixture of beiges, different wood tones, and a variety of green plants that stand out against the white walls.

Both the master and guest bedroom have a wardrobe fitted above the doorway to optimally use the floor space for storage.

An off-white kitchen with white marble countertops

The off-white kitchen cabinets in this open-plan space are enhanced with a white marble countertop and brass hardware for an elegant look. The area above the stove is finished off with a stainless steel hood and a oak wood peg rail that goes wall to wall.

The grey and white pattern in the marble countertop brings out the off-white color of the shaker kitchen cabinets in a lovely way.

By opening up the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, the layout of the kitchen can be bigger and the owners planned a large kitchen island with a sink that connects the kitchen with the adjacent living space.

The island includes storage cabinets on both sides. The storage cabinets right next to the dining table are great for storing dinnerware right next to the dining table.

An oval dining table paired with a mixture of wood tones

The dining area features a large oval dining table, which is paired with a mixture of light and dark wood dining chairs. The vintage sideboard against the wall adds another interesting wood tone to the setting, which pairs well with the white-soaped hardwood flooring.

A combination of green plants brightens up the white walls throughout the space and provides a wonderful pop of color.

A round living room with windows on different sides

The living room area is surrounded by windows on both sides, providing the space with an abundance of daylight. The natural color palette on the beige sofa is contrasted by a beautiful vintage leather armchair.

The TV is integrated in the open shelving on the wall, giving it a subtle space in the interior, without having to give up precious floor space.

A master bedroom with a wardrobe around the door

Just like the other rooms in the apartment, the master bedroom has white walls, which are paired with a combination of natural beige and brown tones in the textiles on the bed, and a beautiful vintage bedside table in dark wood.

The blue-painted vintage drawer chest by the window adds a playful pop of color to the space.

To save space, the custom wardrobe has been fitted around the doorway.

A guest bedroom decorated with warm pink and red tones

The white walls of the guest bedroom are paired with a few beautiful pink and red tones in the accessories and textiles.

Just like in the master bedroom, the wall around the doorway has been transformed into a wardrobe for ample storage space where even the area around the door can be utilized.

Bathroom with a concrete look

The bathroom is finished with a combination of different grey tiles on the floor and walls, which gives it a concrete bathroom look that is warmed up with the wood vanity.

This gorgeous Swedish apartment (Styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Jonas Lundberg for Stadshem) features a combination of two different floral wallpaper patterns in the living and bedroom for a characterful effect that is romantic, however since the furniture selected is quite minimal, the interior has a modern appearance at the same time.

The wall between the kitchen and the living room is opened up for an unobstructed view and an open-plan layout. The sage green kitchen cabinets are paired up with an elegant wood dining table and chairs and the green of the kitchen cabinets complements the green tones in the living room.

The bedroom has a green botanical wallpaper pattern, which makes the old doorway that was turned into a bookshelf stand out in a powerful way.

A living room with a red and green floral wallpaper pattern and white soft furnishings

The living room features a bold wallpaper pattern with red and green tones, which is a true focal point in the space. The white historic fireplace, beige sofa, and white area rug stand out against the darker tones in the wallpaper, and the white pendant light adds a statement piece to the setting.

Sage green kitchen cabinets and a round dining table

The green tones in the wallpaper come back in the sage green kitchen cabinets of the kitchen, which are paired with a black countertop and a tile backsplash with an elaborate pattern.

The round wood dining table and chairs provide the kitchen with a spacious dining spot that pairs wonderfully with the soft beige wall color used on the kitchen walls.

The wall next to the dining table is finished with a simple wall shelf and an art print with green tones that pair nicely with the kitchen cabinets and the living room wallpaper.

A botanical pattern wallpaper in the bedroom with a niche turned into a bookshelf

The bedroom wallpaper has a beautiful leaf pattern that adds a lovely texture and makes the dark hardwood flooring and the white ceiling stand out. Since the wallpaper is such a focal point, the decor in the rest of the bedroom interior has been kept rather modest, with a combination of white and beige textiles on the bed.

Next to the bed, an old doorway has been transformed into a bookshelf with white shelving and a white background, which stands out against the green backdrop of the wallpaper design.

The warm beige curtains frame the bedroom window and warm up the daylight coming in.

The small table in front of the window provides a lovely office spot to work from home and I love the way the light wood tone of the desk stands out against the dark wood floor.

A minimal kid’s room with beige and wood tones

The small kid’s room with white walls is decorated with a mixture of beige textiles on the bed, paired with off-white curtains and a beautiful fabric pendant light.

This beautiful, modernized turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (for sale via Alexander White) features a mixture of white and brown tones for a contrasting color palette highlighted by the gorgeous natural light coming through those large historic windows.

The open-plan living room features a mixture of beige and brown furniture and soft furnishings, which is a color combination that also comes back in the kitchen. The dark wood kitchen cabinets add a lot of contrast to the space, while the beige cupboards, white marble, and stainless steel add variety to the material mixture.

A combined living and dining room decorated in beige and brown tones

The living room consists of a beautiful oval dining table in white marble, which is paired with brown fabric dining chairs. The brown fabric also comes back in the teddy lounge chair next to the beige sofa and the dark wood floating shelves on the wall match with the wood of the asymmetric coffee table.

The red and white wall lamps add a pop of color to this natural setting which comes back in the flowers on both the dining and the coffee table.

The small wall between the kitchen and the living room is the perfect spot to hang the TV on the wall. A minimal wall cabinet underneath the TV provides storage space while blending in with the white wall in the background.

a two-tone kitchen with beige and dark wood cabinets

The kitchen with white walls is characterized by dark wood kitchen cabinets, paired with beige tall cupboards opposite the window. The intricate details on the white marble countertop on the waterfall kitchen island are contrasted by the clean lines of the stainless steel countertop on the sink module.

The beige linen curtains pair nicely with the beige cupboards in the kitchen and balance out the darker tones in the setting.

A floating shelf above the kitchen counter provides a perfect spot for displaying pretty ceramics and other decoration objects.

A minimal bedroom with an eye-catching headboard fabric

The minimal yet cozy bedroom setting features white walls paired with white curtains and a black and white floral headboard. The red bedside table is the only pop of color in this setting and it stands out against the black-and-white color palette.

The black and white lamp matches the black and white floral pattern on the headboard and the throw pillows on the bed.

A wardrobe with an integrated nursing table

The second bedroom combines a guest bed with a nursery and the wardrobe turns into wall shelving with an integrated changing table by the door.

An elegant bathroom with micro-cement walls and a shower niche

The bathroom has micro-cement walls, which results in a concrete bathroom look that is reflected in the two mirrors on the walls. The reflection in the mirrors adds an extra dimension to this small area and makes it appear bigger.

The walk-in shower has two shower niches on top of each other to store soap and shampoo bottles.

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Fredrik J Karlsson for sale via Alvhem) has an eye-catching combination of a cool sage green tone on the walls in the bedroom, paired with a beige tone in the living room. Since both rooms are adjacent, these wall colors can be observed together for a beautiful play between cool and warm.

The white kitchen with black countertops adds a wonderful contrast to the soft beige walls in the kitchen space and the elegant beige dining area is so modest it almost blends in with the walls.

In the bedroom, the sage green walls are paired with a custom wardrobe in the same color and a vintage secretary desk that is a true focal point in the interior.

An elegant living room with light beige walls and a black accent sideboard

The beige living room walls are paired with a modest palette in the furniture and textiles for a calm and elegant look that is finished off with a classic crystal chandelier. The light grey fabric sofa blends in with the wall color for a subtle effect.

The seating area features a black sideboard, which really stands out against all the light colors in the living room.

A white kitchen with black countertops and a white subway tile backsplash

The white kitchen with black countertops is the perfect addition to the soft beige walls in this spacious interior. The black color on the countertops comes back in the black detail on the cabinet hardware and the kitchen is finished off with a beautiful white subway tile backsplash that goes higher up behind the stove.

The budget-friendly IKEA Bodbyn cabinets are paired with classic materials to give the kitchen design a high-end appearance.

The upper glass kitchen cabinets are perfect for storing cups and glasses, while also allowing the layout of the kitchen to appear less heavy.

An elegant oval kitchen dining table in front of the balcony window

Opposite the kitchen, you can find a large dining area with a subtle oval dining table with a beige tablecloth that blends into the wall color. While the kitchen itself provides the space with a powerful contrast, the dining area has a modest and elegant look.

A spacious bedroom with sage green walls

The sage green walls in the bedroom make the intricate crown molding underneath the ceiling and the historic details on the white porcelain fireplace stand out in a powerful way. The textiles and furniture pieces in white and beige tones add a subtle note to the powerful wall color.

The mirror by the bed makes this spacious bedroom appear even bigger and the white frame matches the rest of the interior details.

The wardrobe has been painted in the same color as the walls for an integrated effect. The storage module is placed on top of a floor module that has the same height as the floorboards so it looks like it has been built in.

The vintage secretary desk has a reddish wood tone, which stands out perfectly against the sage green bedroom walls. The combination of three different wood species in the hardwood floor, desk chair, and antique piece results in an eye-catching home office corner in this fresh bedroom enhanced with green plants.

A minimal daybed by the window adds a place for lounging in front of the bedroom window.

This gorgeous and minimal home (for sale at Eie, photographed by Dag Sandven belongs to Catrine Svellingen, located in Norway. The white walls come back throughout the apartment, where they are contrasted with a variety of brown and wood tones.

The kitchen is the central hub of the apartment, with the oval kitchen dining table standing in between the kitchen itself and the living room. The dark wood kitchen cabinets paired with the beige stone countertop add a beautiful dark tone to the apartment, which comes back in the sofa color as well.

The bedrooms have been decorated in a very minimal way, while the bathrooms in cement and marble have a modern, stylish appearance.

A minimal kitchen with dark wood cabinets and a light wood oval dining table

The white walls of the kitchen are contrasted with beautiful dark wood kitchen cabinets without cabinet hardware. The dark wood of the cabinets also comes back in the simple floating shelf above the kitchen on the right side, where a beautiful selection of ceramics and interior objects is displayed.

The dark wood of the cabinets is contrasted with a gorgeous beige stone countertop with an elaborate texture and a white undermount sink with a white faucet that blends into the white kitchen walls.

The delicate beige curtains by the kitchen window filter the daylight coming into the space and make it softer and slightly warmer.

The combination of the dark wood kitchen cabinet with the light hardwood flooring is finished off with an oval dining table in oak wood and a mixture of different dining chairs for an interesting look.

To give the kitchen layout a lighter appearance, the high cupboards containing the larger appliances are white, blending in with the kitchen walls so that they don’t take up a lot of space visually.

A minimal living room with white walls and a brown sofa

The living room is decorated in an elegant, yet minimal way and just like in the kitchen, the walls are all painted white. The white furniture pieces and fluffy white area rug create the perfect backdrop for the brown Togo sofa, which really stands out in this interior.

Behind the sofa, a small part of the wall has white-painted exposed brick, which adds a wonderful texture to the setting. The white Flos 265 wall lamp and the small white artwork decorate the wall above the sofa in an elegant yet subtle way.

A wood and white wall shelf is the perfect spot for displaying a selection of books, accessories, and a table lamp that adds coziness to this corner at night.

A minimal bedroom with an open wardrobe setup

The grey bedframe and the wood bedside table are the main elements that stand out in this minimal master bedroom. The white pendant lamp, white bedlinen, and white wall lamp blend in with the white walls, resulting in a very minimal appearance.

The small wall next to the bed is filled with an open wardrobe module that contains four hanging modules and two sets of drawers.

A guest bedroom with an exposed brick wall

The minimal guest bedroom is decorated with warmer textiles: beige linen curtains and a terracotta bedspread add a beautiful contrast to this space.

The same open wardrobe as the one used in the master bedroom can be found against the white-painted exposed brick wall in the guest bedroom.

A modern hallway where a concrete floor meets a hardwood floor

The modern hallway is defined by the combination of a concrete and hardwood floor, which meet in a curved line. The wall mirror is great for checking your outfit, yet it also reflects daylight into the low-lit hallway space.

Minimal built-in hallway cupboards blend into the white walls and fill the hallway with ample storage opportunity.

A contrasting bathroom with marble tiles on the wall

The black sink and faucet stand out against the white marble tiles in the bathroom, which is reflected in the large custom mirror above the sink.

The shower is finished with a shower niche for storing shampoo and body wash and also here you can find black fixtures for a nice contrast with the white marble tiles. This black-and-white bathroom look brings out the simplicity of the carefully selected materials.

A guest bathroom with a beige concrete look

The guest bathroom is finished with a beige micro-cement which has been applied on both the walls and on the cabinet doors of the storage above the toilet.

This beautiful home (styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Henrik Linden, for Alvhem) in Sweden has the most wonderful selection of both old and new furniture, which enhance the gorgeous turn-of-the-century details in the window frames, ceiling moldings, and door frames.

The spacious adjacent living room and dining room are decorated with a beautiful selection of old and new furniture pieces, with the blue-painted vintage cupboard on which the vinyl player sits being the bright focal point in the entire space.

The kitchen and master bedroom are decorated in a modest and natural color palette with a cozy and inviting look.

A natural color palette living room with a bright pop of blue

The color palette in the living room consists of a mix of beige and grey in the textiles and soft furnishings, which also comes back in the colors of the gallery wall above the sofa. The large beige area rug underneath the light grey sofa adds a lot of texture and the subtle light grey wall color makes the white crown molding underneath the ceiling stand out beautifully.

The vintage cupboard for the vinyl player is painted in a bright blue color that stands out against the modest color palette used in the rest of the room.

A vintage surfboard decorates the corner of the living room and adds a unique touch.

The blue of the vintage side table comes back in the colors of the vintage map of South America on the wall.

A spacious dining room with a vintage dining table

The dining and living room are connected to each other with beautiful historic double doors, from which you can take a peek into the other room. Because of this, it’s important that the color palettes of each of the rooms match each other.

The dark wood dining table rests on a natural rug and is paired up with a mixture of different dining chairs for a unique effect.

The colors of the dining room are in perfect harmony with the color palette applied to the living room interior.

A large mirror leaning against the dining room wall reflects the space and makes it appear even bigger. The wood tones of the piano and the bookshelf complement nicely with the rest of the dining room furniture.

The living room gallery wall can be seen from the dining table and is framed by the beautiful double interior doors.

A dark wood kitchen with greige walls

The dark wood kitchen is a bit dated, however, by focusing on a beautiful design at the kitchen dining table, the space gets a modernized look.

The greige walls in the kitchen are paired up with a beautiful mixture of wood tones and an elegant fabric pendant light dangling above the dining table.

A cozy bedroom in beige tones with a vintage touch

The master bedroom is decorated in a similar color palette as the other rooms, with a beautiful mixture of beige and brown tones around the bed, beige curtains by the window, and vintage furniture pieces for storage.

The polka dot wall rug provides a beautiful and alternative way to decorate the wall space above the bed.

The vintage sideboard works well in front of the beautiful backdrop created by the subtle light grey wall color on the bedroom walls.

A kid’s bedroom with a palm pattern wallpaper

The kid’s room is the most colorful room in the apartment, as it has eye-catching wallpaper with a bold palm pattern. Also here, you can find a vintage piece: the desk in front of the window matches the style of the rest of the apartment furniture and is perfect for homework.

A hallway with shoe storage underneath the steps of the stairs

The hallway connects the kitchen and living room with each other, which are on a different level, resulting in a staircase with two steps in the entryway. The area underneath these steps is hollow and perfect for storing shoes as a way to optimize storage space.

Twelve pairs of shoes fit perfectly underneath the steps of the small hallway staircase.

A beautiful gallery wall decorates the wall of the hallway.

This beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (for sale via Alvhem) has a light color palette, enhanced with wood tones and a few blue accents paired with white walls throughout the interior to optimally reflect the daylight coming in through those large windows.

The living and dining rooms are included in one space, which is separated from the kitchen with an additional wall, allowing for a half-open layout where the kitchen is still in a separate area, yet easily accessible and part of the same space.

The bedroom includes an impressive wardrobe that goes wall-to-wall and a two-person workspace fills the area by the window.

A spacious dining area in front of the living room window

The living and dining areas are connected to each other with a long section of Ikea Besta wall cabinets that spread over the entire back wall. The String shelf adds a spot for books and the light color palette is enhanced with natural beige tones and a combination of wood and hemp in the two rugs.

A living room with a brown sofa and a lovely combination of art prints

The brown sofa in the living room is paired with a modest gallery wall in brown and blue tones, which mimics the color palette in the textiles on the sofa.

A round mirror on the wall reflects the space and the daylight coming in through the dining room windows.

A white kitchen separated from the living room with a half wall

Rather than include the kitchen and living room in one space, a half-wall is built between the two sections to create a half-open layout.

The white kitchen cabinets are paired with simple stainless steel hardware and beautiful white marble tiles arranged into a subway pattern.

A niche space with a limewash accent wall

While you can opt to paint your interior wall in a beautiful limewash paint, in this case only the area inside of the niche space where there used to be a doorway is treated with limewash, for a beautiful grey accent in the space from which the round mirror stands out.

A bedroom with light grey walls and blue bedding

The light grey bedroom walls pair nicely with the white-washed hardwood flooring in the space and I love the way this wall color stands out against the white trim underneath the ceiling. The brown fabric headboard is paired up with a mixture of beige, white, and blue bedding. This combination of warm and cool tones adds an interesting contrast to the bed.

The bed fits perfectly between the wall and the wardrobe, still allowing for two bedside tables to be placed on either side of the bed.

A wall-to-wall built-in wardrobe in the same color as the wall

The elegant wardrobe is spread over the entire bedroom length, creating ample storage space for clothes in the bedroom. The upper cabinets that are reachable with a step ladder only can be used to store away items that are less used. The wardrobe doors are painted in the same color as the bedroom walls, for a tone-on-tone effect that is finished off with small stainless steel knobs.

A two-person workspace in front of the bedroom windows

When you both work from home, it’s often smart to include a double desk so you have a larger home office. The space in front of the window includes a large table top on Ikea trestle legs and two wood chairs. This white and wood combination also comes back in the String Pocket shelf on the wall where office accessories can be stored.
