A neutral color palette and a crisp white bedroom with a window towards the kitchen

post

This stylish Swedish home (Styled by Studio Rydman, photographed by Lina Östling for Historiska Hem) has white walls and a beautiful, natural color palette with a combination of carefully considered design classics and contemporary pieces in the living room with herringbone hardwood flooring.

The small white bedroom has white-painted hardwood flooring, making this tiny space feel bigger than it is. The bedroom wall has a vintage window looking out onto the kitchen, which provides the space with a characterful look and at the same time guides some daylight from the bedroom into the kitchen, which doesn’t have any direct natural daylight coming in.

The kitchen space lies right next to the bedroom and has a black and white tile floor. The colors of the tiles come back in the white cabinets and the black countertops for an impressive contrasting effect in the small kitchen space.

Sage green living room walls and a dark green bedroom

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Henrik Linden for Alvhem) has a combination of sage green living room walls, with dark green wall color in the bedroom. The fact that both rooms can be seen from each other, makes this effect of the two greens even more impressive.

The living room has a neutral color palette in the decor pieces and furniture, accentuating the beautiful and elegant sage green color on the walls. The sofa area has an off-white textured area rug that visually separates this area from the rest of the space, which includes a small dining area in front of the window.

The light beige kitchen with wood countertops is built in a corner layout to optimize the floor plan of this smaller kitchen space without direct natural light coming in. The bedroom is painted in a dark green wall color, which accentuates the historic white doors of the walk-in closets on each side of the bed.

The sage-green paint color on the living room walls brings out the beautiful white crown molding and the white porcelain historic fireplace in the corner of the room.

A beige kitchen with butcher block countertops

The kitchen is built inside of a space that doesn’t get any direct daylight, so the light beige kitchen cabinets are a great choice to keep the design of the space light. The corner kitchen layout allows for a functionality-packed kitchen design with lots of storage space.

Black kitchen cabinets and grey wainscoting in a historic Swedish home

post

This gorgeous historic home in Sweden (Styled by Åsa Copparstad, photographed by Fredric Boukari for Historiska Hem) has grey wainscoting throughout the apartment that matches the grey paint color on the historic window and door frames, setting them apart from the subtle paint color on the walls.

The living room features mustard yellow velvet sofas and a TV gallery wall that adds a unique touch to the space. The dining table on the other side of the space has a mixture of white and black bentwood chairs around it for a contrasting effect that is reflected by the round mirror on the wall.

The black kitchen cabinets in the galley kitchen layout are finished with a beige limestone countertop, chrome hardware, and a beautiful white tile on the backsplash creating a gorgeous texture in the space.

The modest bedroom decor includes a vintage armchair and a vintage desk providing the perfect spot for a home office. The second bedroom has a loft bed underneath which a custom desk is included.

An open-plan living room with a dark grey sofa

While the kitchen is designed with rather soft tones, the living room with white walls features a dark grey sofa that adds a lot of contrast to the space. The corner kitchen layout is met with a corner layout in the sofa as well, which is a nice touch.

The black coffee table matches the dark color of the sofa and these two elements stand out in the light palette living room that pairs a beige area rug with subtle colors in the living room gallery wall and neutral furniture pieces.

Stylish attic home with exposed beams and a dark wood kitchen

post

This gorgeous attic home in Sweden (styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Jonas Berg, for sale via Stadshem) has the most beautiful dark wooden beams that are original to the architecture of the space. In the living room especially, which is located underneath the nook of the roof, these original beams add an interesting structure and a characteristic play of lines to the interior, paired with a toned-down color palette that matches the white walls and wood tones in the space.

The area in front of the balcony window is the perfect spot for a home office desk, putting it out of the way of the rest of the living room functionality.

On the downstairs level, which can be reached by a beautiful winding staircase, you can find a kitchen with dark wood cabinets paired with a vintage wood glass cabinet by the dining area. The bedroom has shiplap walls painted in a subtle sage green color, which is carried over into the entryway of the apartment.

The exposed wood beams in the impressive rooftop ceiling of the living room shape the design of the space and add a unique touch to the interior. By keeping the walls of the living room white, a beautiful contrast is created between the walls and the dark wood beams.

The carefully selected living room decor features grey, brown, and beige tones paired with dark wood elements and natural tones for a modest effect in the space that puts the beams at the center.

This gorgeous contemporary interior design is fitted inside a wonderful historic apartment in Sweden (Styled by Thomas Lingsell, photographed by Per Orchidéen for Historiska Hem).

The minimal decor in the living room and bedroom adds a modern touch to the interior, which features a mixture of timeless design classics and modern art pieces for a no-nonsense look with a stylish and unique effect.

The walls in the entire apartment are white, allowing for the natural materials and careful selection of objects to shine in the space.

The solid pine wood kitchen stands out in the apartment in its simplicity and the beautiful natural grain on the cabinet fronts adds a unique effect to the kitchen space. The cabinets as well as the countertop are made out of wood, giving the kitchen a cohesive look that is paired with black ceramics and stainless steel elements in the sink, faucet, and oven.

The lower kitchen module with the sink and stove is enhanced with a high cupboard that is half open. In the open section, a wonderful selection of black ceramics and glassware provide a contrasting element. The upper cabinets are built up to the ceiling for an impressive effect in the space.

The subtle chrome knobs on the cabinets add a subtle modern element to the natural pine wood.

The kitchen is planned along a single wall, allowing this narrow space to appear spacious.

The kitchen is paired with a small vintage pine wood table, a farmhouse-style pendant light, and two accent black dining chairs. The wood artwork on the wall is the perfect fit against the wall in this kitchen.

In the hallway, which can be seen from the kitchen, a custom shelf insert is used on the wall for displaying books and accessories. By using pine wood for this insert as well, the design of the two spaces is tied together in an elegant way.
