A beige bedroom and warm decor in a historic Swedish apartment

post

This gorgeous historic apartment in Sweden (styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Henrik Linden for Alvhem) has an impressive amount of natural daylight flowing in through those large historic windows. The living room is situated on the corner of the building, allowing daylight to flow in from both sides.

The light greige wall color in the living room is paired with a natural color palette in the furniture and accessories and the space includes a sofa section as well as a dining area.

The kitchen includes a dining table in front of the window and the bedroom that lies right next to the living room has a characteristic dark sand beige wall color paired with a beautiful mixture of light textiles in the bed.

The impressive turn-of-the-century architectural features of the building are most present in the living room with the four big windows on two of the walls. The living room walls are painted in a light greige wall color that accentuates the white crown molding underneath the ceiling and the beautiful white window frames.

This turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Jonas Berg, for sale via Stadshem) has an impressive light grey historic fireplace, which adds a beautiful and unique touch to the otherwise minimally decorated living room. The bedroom and living room are connected by beautiful white double interior doors that allow you to look from one room into the other.

Attic studio home with a light grey kitchen and warm wood tones

post

This beautifully renovated attic studio home in Sweden (Styled by Nouvel Interior, photographed by Walti Hösli for Entrance Makleri) has such an abundance of daylight streaming in through those skylights. Because of the light coming in, this studio home feels much more spacious.

The modern light grey kitchen is spacious and offers ample storage space. The light grey bottom cabinets are finished off with beautiful walnut wood on the upper cabinets that add warmth to the setting.

The living area features a round wood dining table with cognac leather dining chairs and a sofa area with a white sofa and white area rug underneath the sloped roof.

The bedroom is built inside a small room with a skylight providing the space with daylight. The bathroom shares the color palette of the apartment with a natural grey stone on the floor and walls paired with walnut wood on the storage and vanity.

Light grey walls and an elegant white kitchen in an attic home

post

This light-flooded attic apartment in Sweden (styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Henrik Linden, via Alvhem) has a beautiful tone of light grey paint on the living room and bedroom walls. These two rooms are adjacent and can be seen from each other, making it even more apparent that both spaces’ color palettes and decor complement each other.

The white kitchen features a beautiful marble countertop and its layout is planned to optimize for storage space on its different walls, allowing a spot for a small dining table in the middle.

The bedroom includes a small home office spot with a black desk that adds a lot of contrast to the setting which is decorated with mostly white textiles.

The grey living room wall color adds a darker tone to the setting, which has been brightened up by the white sofa, the white area rug, and the set of two white marble coffee tables. The gallery wall above the sofa adds a unique effect to the space and I love that the brown tones in the left print come back in one of the throw pillows on the sofa.

The room where the kitchen is placed is rather long and narrow, so the different kitchen modules are spread over different areas, allowing a small spot for a dining table right next to the main kitchen module.

The side of one of the kitchen modules is used for a wardrobe module, combining kitchen and entryway storage into one.

The small dining area features wall shelves that have been painted in the same color as the wall for a tone-on-tone effect and a great spot for adding decor objects on display.

The bedroom wall color is the same one as the paint color used in the living room, connecting the color palettes of both spaces together. The bed with the white fabric headboard in front of the window is decorated with a mixture of beige and brown textiles that is similar to the arrangement on the living room sofa.

The black desk stands out against the wall color and the white bedside table. The black Wishbone chair completes this black aesthetic beautifully and the art prints finish the setting off in a perfect way.

A pink entryway paired with sage green kitchen walls

post

This stylish one-bedroom apartment in Sweden (Styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Krister Engström via Kvarteret Makleri) is characterized mostly by its pink entryway, which connects the kitchen and the living room together.

This small one-bedroom apartment has a shared living and sleeping space with wood wall shelving and a floating desk used as a home office spot. The subtle light grey walls in the living space are paired with a dusty pink area rug that connects to the pink hallway color.

The simple white kitchen features sage green walls that add a lot of character to the space and the vintage dining table provides a cozy spot for having meals in the kitchen.

A living and sleeping space with light grey walls

The living space includes both a sofa area, a sleeping space, and a home office spot. The light grey walls enhance the subtle color palette used throughout the space and I love the way the sheer white curtains jump out of this color palette.

The white Ikea Soderhamn sofa brightens up the palette and stands out against the fluffy pink area rug that covers the floor underneath the lounge area.

A glass coffee table is great for small spaces, as it doesn’t obstruct the view. The mirror next to the sofa area reflects the daylight back into the space and it makes the room visually appear bigger.

The wooden wall shelf spreads over the entire living room wall, connecting the sleeping space with the lounge area. The soft wood tones stand out nicely against the light grey wall color and the shelves provide a perfect spot for books and accessories.

The sleeping area is decorated with a combination of beige and white textiles and a beige art print that adds a warm touch to the light grey walls.

On the other side of the room, a modular wall shelving system includes a floating desk, which is perfect to get some work done on your laptop. The top shelves provide extra space for storing books and accessories.

A simple white kitchen with a sage green wall color

The simple white kitchen is a bit dated, however, the sage green wall color adds a fresh new life to the space and complements the wood hardwood flooring and the wood countertops perfectly.

The pink entryway can be seen from the kitchen and the two colors complement each other nicely for a unique color palette.

A vintage round dining table provides a perfect dining spot in front of the kitchen window. The mix of chairs paired with the black pendant light, the green plants and the art print make this area cozy and inviting.

The window sill has been turned into a desk, which paired with a little stool provides the space with an additional worktop.

A pink entryway wall color for a bold effect

The entryway, which can be seen from the kitchen and from the living space, doesn’t have any direct natural light coming in, so the bold pink color choice helps to make this space interesting and inviting.

The small entryway bench paired with the beautiful gallery wall adds a lot of character to this area, which is the first space you see when entering the apartment.

The mirror is great for checking your outfit before you go, yet it also allows more light into the space.

White walls and a beige kitchen in a historic Swedish flat

post

This cozy and inviting Swedish home with beautiful historic details (Styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Jonas Berg for Stadshem) has white walls throughout, which reflect the abundance of daylight that’s coming through those large historic windows.

The spacious living and dining room features a light blue sofa and a gallery wall that spreads from the dining area over into the sofa section of the space. The ceiling-high wall shelving on the living room wall is great for storing both books and accessories.

The main bedroom can be reached through double doors from the living room and its modest design and combination of textiles complements the interior in the adjacent living space perfectly. The beige kitchen with stainless steel countertops is finished off with a white tile backsplash and a small round dining table provides a cozy spot for dining in the kitchen as well.

A spacious living room with a dining and sofa area

The light blue living room sofa stands out against the natural color palette created by the white walls as a backdrop and is paired with a combination of beige and grey textiles, wood and black furniture pieces, and a few green plants.

The fluffy area rug adds a lot of texture to the original hardwood flooring of the room and it’s great for visually separating the sofa area from the rest of the living room functionality.

The beautiful living room gallery wall spreads from the dining area into the sofa section and connects both room functionalities with each other in an elegant way.

The two leather and wood lounge chairs add a warm tone to the color palette and they fit perfectly underneath the gallery wall.

Opposite of the sofa area, you can find a spacious dining table in the corner featuring a mixture of white and wood tones in the dining chairs.

A beige kitchen with stainless steel countertops and a tile backsplash

The subtle beige kitchen cabinets add a warm note to the white and bright palette of the kitchen. The white tile backsplash goes all the way up to the ceiling for an impressive effect in the space that is overlayed by white wall shelving and contrasted by two beautiful black wall lamps.

The beige cabinetry is finished with steel hardware and practical stainless steel countertops that also come back in the material of the cooking stove and the stove hood.

The countertop is continued towards the side of the window to make the kitchen layout feel integrated into the space. This is a great spot for soap and cutting boards, which would otherwise be lost.

A round dining table with light grey dining chairs is perfect for creating a smaller dining area in the kitchen. The white round dining table with wood legs fits the interior perfectly and the white wall shelving used above the kitchen counter also comes back on the wall above the table.

The kitchen features a small walk-in-pantry and its white historic door brightens up the design of the dining area.

A main bedroom with white walls and beige and brown textiles

Just like the rest of the apartment, the main bedroom has white walls, which accentuate the size and height of this majestic room. The light grey box spring bed is made with white bedding and a variety of beige, brown, and red tones in the blankets and throw pillows decorating the bed.

The art print above the bed complements the color palette of the textiles perfectly and the mirror next to the bed reflects the daylight coming in from the window.

A kid’s room with a cute homework desk

The second bedroom is used as a kid’s room and it’s also the only room in the interior that has darker paint color on the walls. The light grey bedroom walls pair nicely with the arrangement of soft textiles in the space and the color makes the white window frames stand out in a beautiful way.

In the entryway, the high ceilings are accentuated by a clothes rail that hangs from the ceiling. It’s a simple storage solution where the area underneath can be used for shoe storage.
