A light grey shaker kitchen and soft beige walls

post

This gorgeous apartment (Styled by Martina Mattsson, photographed by Krister Engström, via Kvarteret Makleri) has a spacious light grey shaker kitchen paired with a soft beige wall color on the walls above the counter. This color palette matches perfectly with the white oak hardwood flooring in the space.

The kitchen features a dining area with a cozy seating bench that wraps around the wall corner to make optimal use of this space. The beige walls in the living room can be seen from the kitchen space and they are paired with a subtle palette of black and white furniture pieces and a wall-shelf painted in the same color as the wall for a tone-on-tone effect.

The bedroom has a greige wall color from which the classic wall lamps and the black stools next to the bed stand out in a powerful way. The entryway walls are treated with beautiful floral wallpaper that adds a unique effect to the apartments’ entry.

A soft beige interior with a white kitchen

post

This small apartment (for sale via Stadshem) has a soft beige color palette that comes back in every single room in one form or the other. The natural light reflects on these soft tones in a beautiful way and the furniture pieces and accessories complement this elegant palette perfectly.

The white kitchen features an impressive beige natural stone on both the countertop and backsplash, which adds a sophisticated pop of beige to the space with off-white walls and warm beige curtains. The small round dining table in the kitchen fits perfectly in the layout and it is located in the prime spot in front of the window.

The beige walls in the living room are paired with a mixture of light furniture pieces and a few walnut tones in the storage cabinets add a bit more texture and depth to the setting. The bedroom is painted in a beige paint color with strong yellow undertones, resulting in a sunny and playful bedroom color palette.

post

This stylish studio flat (Styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Krister Engström for Kvarteret Makleri) features a wonderful storage solution with a wardrobe that is built to integrate the bed underneath it.

The subtle light grey wall color in this small place is paired with a beige sofa and different wood tones for a natural, contrasting, and elegant color palette that is finished with fresh green plants and a white fluffy area rug.

The U-shape of the open-plan kitchen separates the living and sleeping area from the rest of the apartment and the small dining table in the middle connects the different functional areas together.

A wardrobe above the bed to add storage opportunity to the sleeping area

In a small studio apartment, storage opportunities are key to keeping a clean and tidy space. In this studio space, a custom wardrobe is built on top of the bed so that the height of the walls can be optimally utilized to store away clothes and other things.

By placing the bed underneath the wardrobe length-wise, it doesn’t take up too much of the floorplan.

The bed is made with a mixture of beige textiles and black and brown tones in the art prints and the wall lamps finish off the look perfectly.

A small dining table in between the kitchen and living area

In between the kitchen and the living space, a small dining table with two light oak chairs is placed. The decor on the table matches perfectly with the one in the sofa area for an integrated look and a smooth transition between functional areas.

The dining table stands in between two large windows and the curtains of those windows come together behind the table when open. This creates a beautiful textile backdrop for the dining area, finishing the look off perfectly.

The light grey kitchen cabinets are built in a U-shaped layout so that the wall where the fridge is placed is also the separating wall between the living space and the rest of the apartment.

Light grey living room walls and an olive green bedroom

post

This elegant turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Fredrik J Karlsson for sale via Alvhem) has a beautiful paint color combination in the living room and bedroom, which are connected by historic white double interior doors.

The subtle light grey wall color in the living room is paired with a light palette in the furniture and textiles and a bold wall rug and green plants to spruce up the design. The bedroom, on the other hand, has a dark olive paint color on the walls that brings out the beautiful mixture of beige textiles on the bed.

The windows are framed with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling sheer white curtains that add dimension to the interior. The rug wall art is a real eye-catcher on the wall and it looks like one of those large-scale artworks.

The green plants in the space add a fresh touch to the interior.

A green-grey kitchen in a living space with a burned orange sofa

post

This small one-bedroom apartment in Sweden (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Fredrik J Karlsson, for sale via Alvhem) has a beautiful living kitchen with a green-grey kitchen spreading over one of the walls, paired with a burned orange sofa that is a real focal point in the space with a subtle light grey paint color on the walls.

The sofa stands in the middle of the living space, also functioning as a separator between the living and dining area that is located right next to the window.

The small bedroom has an asymmetrical floor plan and a wardrobe that is painted in the same color as the walls for an integrated effect. The throw pillows on the bed pair nicely with the color of the sofa, tying the color palettes of the adjacent rooms together.

Dark green-grey kitchen cabinets with lots of storage space

When decorating a small space or studio apartment, it’s crucial to include enough storage space on a small surface. The kitchen in this living space makes use of tall ceilings with upper cabinets reaching high up where lesser-used items can be stored.

The bedroom is painted in a darker grey shade that adds a cozy mood to the interior design, paired with beige tones and wood elements for a natural effect.

The classic white kitchen is spread over one of the walls in the living space, with a combination of high cupboards and both upper and lower cabinets to ensure enough storage space. Molding is applied to the top of the upper cabinets to make the kitchen integrate with the space smoothly.

The light grey walls in the living kitchen bring out the white kitchen in an elegant way. In between the sofa and the kitchen, you can find an elegant round dining table with black shell chairs that add a beautiful contrast to the setting.

The windows are decorated with beige linen curtains that warm up the daylight coming through. The black dining chairs are paired with a simple black pendant light that hangs in the middle of the table.

Grey walls and beige tones in the bedroom

The bedroom is painted in a grey wall color for a slightly more moody effect on the space. The same beige linen curtains decorate the windows of the bedroom and the beige and white textiles on the bed pair nicely with this color palette.

Light wood kitchen cabinets and a dark grey living room

post

This beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by Bon Interior, photographed by Maria Sahlander, for sale via Bjurfors) has a spacious living kitchen with ornate crown molding on the ceiling and a gorgeous kitchen with light oak cabinets, and a dark marble backsplash. A kitchen island with lots of storage space separates the cooking area from the cozy kitchen dining table with white dining chairs.

The living room has dark grey walls for a unique, dramatic effect from which a colorful sofa and gallery wall stand out. A custom living room bookshelf is built around the living room door, which is painted in the same color as the walls for an integrated effect.

The bedroom has a beautiful floral pattern wallpaper that adds a subtle romantic touch to the space and the bathroom pairs a gorgeous black marble floor and walk-in shower with a white wall tile.

The spacious room with ornate detailing on the ceiling is filled with both a kitchen and a dining area. The kitchen with light oak cabinets is planned out against the back wall, paired with a kitchen island in the middle that contains storage drawers on each side and allows a bottom-heavy kitchen arrangement that looks lighter in the space.

The light oak cabinets are paired with a stainless steel countertop and a dark marble tile backsplash, which adds a modern and contrasting effect to the light wood tone. The space in between the two upper cabinets is filled with a floating shelf made out of the same dark marble material for displaying decor objects or spices.

The stainless steel on the countertop also comes back in the material finish on the Moccamaster coffee maker that fits the kitchen look perfectly.

The large kitchen island separates the cooking and dining areas from each other visually and stands proudly in the center of the large room. Other than the main kitchen module, the island is finished off with a butcher block countertop for a natural effect in the space.

On the other side of the kitchen island, you can find a modest white dining table with white series 7 dining chairs on top of an elegant light grey area rug.

A living room with dark grey walls and a blue velvet sofa

The living room features dark grey walls, which add so much character to the light-flooded space. The blue velvet sofa stands out against this dark wall color and the beautiful living room gallery wall adds a wonderful combination of different colors to the setting.

The rest of the interior is decorated in modest colors, with a beige textured area rug, a white Bertoia diamond chair, and a contrasting black coffee table.

On the other living room wall, a bookshelf is custom-built on top of the doorway and painted in the same color as the living room walls for an integrated effect in the space. It’s the perfect home library if you ask me.

The back of the bookshelf has a shiplap treatment (also painted in the same color) and the colorful collection of books and accessories stand out nicely against the dark grey color.

What used to be a doorway is now turned into a wall shelf for decor objects. The white door frame stands out nicely against the darker tones in the wallpaper design.
