A one-bedroom apartment with blue-black walls and wallpaper in the black kitchen

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Walti Hösli for Entrance Makleri) is a perfect showcase of how dark walls can make such a stylish, dramatic expression in space that gets a lot of daylight.

The shared living and sleeping space is painted in a black wall color with a blue undertone, which makes the white crown molding and the window frames stand out beautifully.

The kitchen has contrasting black cabinets paired with a stainless steel countertop and a dining table with vintage chairs in the middle. One side of the kitchen is finished with a beautiful wallpaper design that continues into the entryway section of this one-bedroom apartment.

A black kitchen with a stylish wallpaper

The kitchen in this apartment has an assymetric floor plan, which is accentuated by a beautiful kitchen wallpaper design. The dining table in the middle of the space is paired with classic black dining chairs and a black glass cabinet finds its place next to the window.

The black kitchen cabinets stand out against the white walls and the white fridge, while a vintage portrait and vintage copper pendants add a classic touch.

The stainless steel countertop matches the stainless steel stove and hood for a slight industrial touch in the space. The copper gas pipeline, which was probably a necessity is laid out in a way so that it can be used as a rail to hang small kitchen items. A great way to make this look more intentional.

A luxurious historic apartment renovation with an impressive marble kitchen

post

In this luxuriously renovated apartment that is for sale in Sweden (via Sjöman Frisk), it’s the kitchen that stands out in the most powerful way. The beautiful white marble slabs used on the countertops, backsplash, and all the sides of the kitchen island provide the kitchen design with a high-end look that is complemented by the walnut details in the upper shelving and the wine cabinet.

The living kitchen includes a spacious dining area and a sofa area, both with dark wood tones to match the material style of the kitchen.

The bedroom walls have a greige paint color, finished off with wainscoting that gives the space a classic look enhanced by the minimal bedroom decor. From the bedroom, you can walk straight into the main bathroom, which is finished off with beautiful stone tiles and black fixtures.

A classic white kitchen paired with white marble and walnut wood

The classic white kitchen cabinets in this living kitchen are built up to the ceiling, with crown molding fitted on top of the cabinets for an integrated look in the space. The simple black hardware provides the white shaker kitchen design with a modern look, while the gorgeous marble slabs provide a luxurious touch.

Since the entire back wall of the kitchen is filled with either tall cupboards or upper cabinets, it’s a great idea to add some variation to the design. In this beautiful kitchen, this was done by replacing one of the closed upper cabinets with walnut shelving, which stands out perfectly against the white cabinet fronts.

The elaborate LED Lighting in the space lights up the inside of the open cabinet, the countertop, and the top of the kitchen to accentuate the beautiful features of the kitchen design.

Right next to the marble waterfall kitchen island, you can find a beautiful wine cabinet in walnut wood, which is lit up inside and closed with glass doors so you can see its contents. The peninsula island does a great job separating the kitchen from the rest of the living space.

The wood tone of the cabinet matches the open section in the kitchen, which provides the design with a cohesive look.

A living kitchen with off-white walls, wainscoting and walnut furniture pieces

The living room is finished off with elegant wainscoting, which provides the space with a typical, classic look. The off-white wall color pairs beautifully with the soft wood tone of the hardwood flooring and it makes the crisp white ceiling and crown molding stand out.

A natural palette interior with an arched bedroom doorway

post

This beautiful apartment located in Sweden (Styled By Josefssonljung, photographed by Alen Cordic, for Nya Kvadrat) has an elegant and modest decor in a natural color palette, paired with white walls and white sheer curtain that makes the floor plan look spacious.

The floor plan is semi-open and the doorway in between the bedroom and the living room has a beautiful arch, which frames the beautiful color palette of the textiles on the bed.

This large apartment has a main bedroom and two smaller kid’s bedrooms, paired with a white kitchen with a dining space. The entryway of the apartment also functions as a home office spot, where a desk and storage for jackets and shoes are combined.

The living room lies in between the main bedroom, the kitchen, and the kid’s room, with doorways on either side of the space, making it a little bit more tricky to plan out the living room furniture.

A living room with a camel sofa and a natural color palette

A camel-colored fabric sofa fits perfectly in the area in front of the window, which is framed by a set of two sheer white curtains on a black rail. The beige area rug fills the entire width of the space and adds a cozy texture to the sofa area, which is paired with a glass coffee table and a teddy armchair.

The corner in between two doorways is an ideal spot for a mint green sideboard that stands out in the space because of its color. The small mirror above it reflects the space and the combination of the candle wall sconce with the art prints above the chair finishes the decor off nicely.

A small studio home with a tiny light grey kitchen

post

This small studio home (sold via Innerstadtspecialisten) pairs a kitchen, dining table, sofa area, and sleeping space all in a relatively small room, however, the functionalities are combined in such a practical and elegant way, that the room still feels quite spacious.

The subtle light grey walls with the large white trim underneath the ceiling highlight the impressive ceiling height. The kitchen is built up to the ceiling and turns into a bookshelf over the door to optimally use all areas of the studio apartment for storing away things.

A blue living kitchen paired with a pink bedroom in a historic home

post

The color palette in this gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (styled and photographed by Therese Jahnson for Historiska Hem) is unique and bold, yet so balanced at the same time. The living room is painted in a combination of light blue and a darker blue on the wainscoting and window and door frames for a cool setting that is contrasted by the warm tones in the artwork and the warm wood dining chairs.

The bold color choice in the living kitchen elevates the minimal white kitchen design with an island in the middle and the glass dining table in front of the window offers a perfect spot to gather for dinner.

The main bedroom is painted in a pastel pink shade on the walls, paired with a burgundy paint color on the wainscoting and a combination of warm wood tones and warm textiles to match the warm effect of the wall color in the space.

A mixture of pink and blue paint colors in the kid’s room

The kid’s room has the boldest color palette of the entire apartment, with blue walls paired with a bright pink color on the window frames and a bright orange fabric canopy above the cod.

A set of two Ikea Billy bookshelves have been modified and built in. By painting them in the same color as the wall, they look like a custom solution.

This gorgeous minimal interior design is set inside a light-flooded turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (sold via Sjöman Frisk). The minimal style in the living room accentuates the historic details in the space in an elegant way and the darker art piece on the wall and the subtle black accents add a beautiful contrast to the setting.

The modern kitchen features dark-stained oak cabinets in combination with a beautiful beige limestone used on the countertop and backsplash. The black wall lamps and faucet add a welcome contrast to this warm and minimal kitchen design.

The bedroom features a deeper sage-green wall color that can be seen from the living room. An old doorway is transformed into a bedroom bookshelf which highlights another historic detail in the flat. The bathroom is covered with the same beige limestone material used in the kitchen for an elegant and cohesive look.

Beige limestone and walnut wood in the bathroom

The kitchen materials come back in the modern bathroom design as well, tying the different spaces in the apartment together in a nice way. The beige limestone is used both on the floor and on the walls, with a large mirror above the vanity making the bathroom appear bigger.

A modernized attic home with a natural oak kitchen and a glass partition

post

This beautiful modernized attic apartment (Styled by Yngfalk interior, photographed by Mia Borgerlin for Historiska Hem) features gorgeous curves in the ceilings where the windows are and a modern natural oak kitchen with limestone countertops and a matching backsplash.

The living kitchen includes a dining table in between the kitchen space and the sofa area. The guest bedroom that lies right next to the sofa area is separated from the rest of the space by a glass and metal partition that is custom-made to fit the sloped ceilings of the attic home.

The main bedroom has a dark grey wall color for a moody effect that is paired with a comfortable grey bed and custom oak cabinets built inside the walls. The bedroom has an impressive walk-in closet that uses the same oak wood as the rest of the apartment.

Both the bathrooms in the apartment feature limestone finishes, which add a beautiful natural effect to the modern bathroom designs.
