A bedroom with a black limewash wall

post

What stands out the most to me in this beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden, is the black limewash wall in the bedroom, which can be seen from the wooden double interior doors in the living room.

The living room lies between the kitchen and the bedroom, making the large wood dining table the center point of the apartment. The brown tints and green plants work well with the beautiful exposed brick wall in the living space.

The simple kitchen design features light grey kitchen cabinets, paired with a wood countertop, brass hardware, and a tiled backsplash that goes up to the ceiling.

In the living room, the double interior door that leads up to the bedroom stands out against the white walls. The beautiful wood texture in the doors pairs nicely with the different wood tones at the dining table and frames the black limewash walls in the bedroom.

One of the walls in the living room has exposed brick, which provides the space with a lovely texture. The Golden Photos in the living room corner branches out over the wall and over the wooden double doors, which adds a lovely green touch to the interior design.

The brown fabric sofa is paired up with a beige textural area rug and a mixture of neutral tones in the throw pillows, art prints, and accessories for a modest and calm look.

The vintage dining table with a mixture of chairs is placed in between the kitchen and the bedroom. This spot gets a lot of daylight through these two windows, which have been decorated with a variety of beautiful accessories.

On the other side of the bedroom, you can find a kitchen with light grey kitchen cabinets and wood countertops. The simple cabinetry is enhanced with brass hardware and the kitchen walls and backsplash are covered in an elegant white tile for a beautifully finished look.

Going for a black or dark grey bedroom wall color can have a very unique effect on a space. In this particular bedroom design, the walls are covered in black limewash paint, which results in a beautiful wall texture from which the accessories, green branches, and artwork stand out.

The black limewash wall contrasts nicely with the white shelf on the wall, the white side table, and the beautiful white table lamp. The limewash wall is framed beautifully by the white floorboards and the white trim underneath the ceiling.

Brown kitchen cabinets in a spacious turn-of-the-century home

post

You often see a variety of wood tones in kitchen designs, yet brown kitchen cabinets, just like in this beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden, are not something you see very often. The beautiful open-plan kitchen shares a room with the dining table with the compact kitchen on just one wall.

The bedroom includes a custom built-in wardrobe around the bed as a space-saving storage solution and dark green walls that contrast nicely with the white wardrobe modules. The hallway has a soft pink wall color that can be seen from the kitchen living space.

The beige wall color in the living kitchen is paired up with dark brown kitchen cabinets that add a beautiful warm tone to the setting. The white marble countertops stand out against this dark cabinetry, while the chrome hardware and faucet add another material quality to the mixture.

The kitchen cabinets go all the way up to the ceiling and are finished off with cabinet molding for a smooth transition towards the white ceiling.

Since the kitchen is built on a single wall, the use of both upper and lower cabinets ensures ample storage space.

A bedroom with dark green walls and a wardrobe above the bed

The bedroom is characterized by a custom-built wardrobe that goes around the bed and leaves out a cozy niche space where a custom headboard and a wall lamp fit in. The contrast between the white wardrobe and the white wainscoting against dark green the walls of the bedroom is very stong and powerful.

The hallway is painted in a light pink wall color, perfect for a room that doesn’t get direct daylight. The paint color, however, is just dark enough so that the white trim on the ceiling and the white door frames stand out nicely.

A tiny studio home with creative space-saving solutions

post

While there are a lot of ways you can optimally decorate a small studio apartment, sometimes the best space-saving solution might be a custom one and this small yet beautiful apartment in Sweden is a great example of that. This small studio apartment includes a kitchen with a dining table, a desk that can be folded into the wall, and a loft bed with an integrated wardrobe that slides out.

n just 23 square meters (about 250 sqft) the owners have created a cooking space with a dining area that seats four people, a place to work from home, a sofa section, a bedroom area, and lots of smart storage space.

The beautiful exposed brick wall has an elegant white trim on top of it and the upper cabinets extend towards this trim, for a beautiful and finished effect.

On the narrow wall next to the dining table, you can find a tall storage cabinet that is painted in the same beige color as the kitchen cabinets. The table can be folded away when it’s not in use, allowing more space in the sofa area of this smart layout.

Modern attic home with amazing custom built-ins

post

This amazing attic apartment for sale in Sweden has a spacious living kitchen with dark wood cabinets, an integrated window seat, and a kitchen island that can seat four people at the same time.

The large dining table stands in between the kitchen and the sunken living room, dividing the majestic living space into three main sections, all styled to perfection with a careful selection of design pieces that complement the original exposed beams underneath the ceiling.

The kitchen layout is planned in an L-shape, fitting underneath the sloped ceiling on the left side and including tall storage cabinets in the section where the ceiling is highest. The lower cabinets by the window continue into an elegant window seat with storage modules on top of which a custom seat cushion is applied.

Greige walls and a dark grey ceiling

post

This turn-of-the-century home for sale in Sweden has beautiful historic features including elaborate details on the crown molding underneath the ceiling, which have been accentuated by a dark grey paint color, making the ceiling stand out against the greige walls of the living room.

The white kitchen with black countertops is integrated within a small space perfectly, working around an awkward niche space and including a small breakfast bar against the wall.

The minimal master bedroom includes a small home office and the warm greige wall color in the kid’s room makes the subtle playful elements stand out in a powerful way.

The dark grey ceiling in this historic living room makes the design of this entire apartment. The decor is carefully selected and quite minimal, resulting in a balanced layout and color palette that accentuates the bold choice of paint color for the ceiling.

The white sofa combined with the light area rug stands out nicely against the darker wall color, which is decorated with a single art print and a sculptural black wall lamp.

A white kitchen with black countertops and a breakfast bar

The kitchen is placed in a corner layout in a relatively small space, with a combination of lower and upper cabinets for ample storage space. On the wall without any cabinets, a small breakfast bar is attached to the wall. This space wouldn’t be large enough to place a dining table, yet by working with a wall-hung solution, you optimize the kitchen floor plan.

The white kitchen cabinets combined with the black stone countertops provide a beautiful contrast in the space. The historic windows behind the sink are integrated within the kitchen layout and the chrome Moccamaster coffee maker and chrome faucet add a modern touch to the kitchen design.

An old niche space in the wall is perfectly integrated within the kitchen layout by customizing the black countertop inside the niche. The vase and art print is the finishing touch in this corner of the kitchen.

A minimal bedroom with light grey walls

The subtle light grey walls in this minimal black and white bedroom decor are enhanced by a mixture of white and grey bedding and two beautiful black and white wall lamps for reading at night. Since the living room and bedroom are interconnected by these beautiful historic double doors, it’s crucial that the color palettes of both rooms complement each other.

The ceilings of the bedroom are painted white, with white trim, yet the dark pendant light and dark grey curtains add a lot of contrast to the decor.

The space next to the double door in between the bedroom and living room is ideal for a small home office spot. The black desk and leather desk chair contrast nicely against the grey bedroom walls and the crisp white doors, while the white vase, black and white art prints, and white table lamp finish this desk setting off nicely.

The kid’s room can be reached from the kitchen and I love that this space has the darkest color in the entire interior. The subtle white bedding and the striped side table stand out against the dark greige wall color and the selection of art prints adds a subtle yet fun element to the setting.

When you live in a historic apartment with high ceilings, you better take advantage of it in terms of storage space. The hallway of this beautiful apartment is the ideal spot for a ceiling-high wardrobe that provides the entire apartment with lots of storage space.

A turn-of-the-century apartment with a walk-in closet office

post

The walk-in closet office makes this spacious and light-flooded turn-of-the-century apartment (for sale via Entrance Makleri) unique, yet the other rooms’ design elements are also worth mentioning. The spacious living room with light grey walls includes an elegant TV gallery wall and a beautiful crystal chandelier that matches the ornate historic elements in the space.

The two-tone kitchen includes black cabinets on the bottom and white ones on the top for a light yet contrasting look that is matched by a kitchen island and a dining table by the window.

The bedroom has a darker grey wall color than the living room, giving it a slightly more moody look. The custom walk-in closet includes a home office space and storage space in a more narrow area. By painting this custom module in the same color as the wall, it perfectly blends in with the rest of the interior.

The ladder to reach the top of the closet and the headboard behind the bed have both been painted in the same color as the walls for a tone-on-tone look that makes the white crown molding stand out in a nice way.

Duplex apartment with a steel staircase

post

This wonderful apartment in Sweden is located in an old industrial building with large black windows that let in an abundance of daylight that spreads throughout the space. The ceilings are so high in fact, that the area above the kitchen could be turned into a loft level that is accessible by a modern metal staircase.

While the bottom level includes a spacious living room, dining room section, and a contemporary kitchen with dark oak kitchen cabinets, when you walk up the stairs, you can find a spacious bedroom and home office spot.

The area in front of the large window is an ideal spot for the grey sofa that is decorated with a mixture of throw pillows and two fabric poufs on top of a light beige area rug. The window sill and floor space next to the sofa are used for a combination of various plants that must thrive with the amount of sunlight that comes in.

A minimal white sideboard is spread along the wall next to the sofa, where the TV is included in a gallery wall. This approach makes the TV less apparent in the interior and the long sideboard provides the apartment with extra closed storage space.

The dark oak kitchen cabinets combined with the black faucet and the beige stone countertop contrast nicely against the white walls in this loft home. The round dining table with the walnut chairs adds a perfect spot for dining right next to the kitchen, yet it doesn’t take up too much space in the apartment either.

A kitchen with dark oak cabinets and a round dining table

The combination of the green round table, the walnut dining chairs and the dark wood open shelving behind it works nicely on top of the light hardwood flooring. The mixture of artwork on the wall and the sculptural pendant light finishes the look off perfectly.

A bedroom and home office space on the second level

Underneath the curved ceilings of this loft home, you can find a spacious bedroom and home office with a custom built-in wardrobe that turns into a floating desk.

The area next to the bed is finished off with custom curtains that fill the space in between the metal beams. The curtains and custom-built cabinets really finish the look off nicely and hide away the awkward nooks and crannies the old walls of the building create.

The modern metal staircase enhances the industrial look and feel of the space and continues over into a metal banister that separates the second level. I love the contrast between the dark oak wood of the kitchen, the soft beige curtains, and the black metal of the stairs. These three different materials complement each other beautifully.

The built-in wardrobe continues into a floating desk that can be used by two people simultaneously. The computer display is attached to the wall, which frees up desk space and gives the home office a finished and clean look.

The area where the floating desk touches the wardrobe is turned into open shelving, which is ideal for keeping office supplies.

The custom-built wardrobe follows the curves on the ceiling and is constructed out of the same material as the cabinets in the kitchen for a cohesive look.

The hallway includes a wardrobe that is hidden behind a custom curtain. This is an easy way to hide storage opportunity and by applying the curtains wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling, the space looks very finished and elegant.

Modern summer house with white shiplap walls

post

This gorgeous modern summer house in Sweden has the traditional Swedish red outside walls, yet the large windows and modern structure give it a contemporary look. The interior is fitted with white shiplap walls in all the rooms, which matches the outside walls. The concrete tile flooring in the downstairs area adds a contrasting element to the white walls and the elegant mixture of modern and classic furniture pieces makes for an elegant interior.

Upstairs, you can find a bedroom and an office space, which looks out on the balcony from which you can oversee the beautiful lake. The outdoor area includes two patios: one for lounging and one with an outdoor dining table.

The tall and narrow windows in the living room look out onto the impressive green trees outside, which is an element that also comes back in the green indoor plants spread throughout the space.

The white fabric sofa combined with the contemporary coffee table in a dark wood tone that sits on a natural rug fits wonderfully in the interior.

Above the TV, open shelving is applied, which has an impressive effect on the sofa area. I love the way the dark tones in the accessories stand out against the white walls and shelving.

The round dining table with the oak dining chairs fits perfectly in between the sofa area and the kitchen and looks out over the outdoor dining area. The amphora with the rubber tree fits perfectly into the corner by the windows,

A wood kitchen with an open ceiling

Even though the wood kitchen is a bit dated, it does fit nicely against the white shiplap walls and the grey tile floor. The second floor doesn’t extend over the kitchen area, which allows for an impressive ceiling height that is accentuated by the many double-height windows.

A small and cozy bedroom with a minimal look

The bedroom is minimal yet cozy, with the shiplap walls defining the small space. The floating shelf above the bed adds a subtle spot to the look for displaying small accessories and books.

A two-person workspace looking out over the lake

In the area between the balcony and the railing that looks out over the kitchen, you can find a two-person workspace with a storage module in the middle and a beautiful pinboard on the wall.

On the second level of the home, the hardwood flooring has been painted white just like the walls, which gives this space an all-white impression. Since the desk and storage module are also white, this makes the wooden chairs stand out in a lovely way.

The area underneath the staircase is used for a sideboard and wall storage, which is a great optimization of this otherwise lost space.

Spacious outside lounge areas to enjoy the Swedish summer

The area underneath the upstairs balcony is a great spot for a large dining table. This way, the outdoor spot is protected from rain and the chain lights add extra coziness to the setting.

Open-plan loft home with high ceilings

post

This beautiful Swedish loft apartment has impressive windows that let in an abundance of natural light flooding the spacious interior. The dark hardwood flooring is contrasted by white walls throughout the entire apartment, which makes the perfect backdrop for the subtle furniture pieces and accessories in a modest color palette.

The large living space includes a modest white kitchen, a spacious dining table with an impressive bookshelf, and a subtle sofa area with a large tree in front of the window.

When walking up towards the master bedroom, you can find a small home office that is separated from the rest of the space with a glass partition with a white metal frame.

The long rectangular dining table with black wishbone chairs is set apart from the white walls and the big white bookshelf that is placed against the wall. The hemp rug underneath the dining table adds a natural tone to the setting and the mixture of books and accessories in neutral tones on the bookshelf provides the space with an elegant yet subtle appearance.

The subtle color palette and interior setting in the sofa area accentuate the high ceiling and big windows in a beautiful way and I love the way the big artwork, the large tree, and the floor lamp work together in this setting. The natural color palette is enhanced by orange and brown tones in the throw pillows for a subtle warm tone in the look.

A minimal white kitchen with a breakfast bar

The minimal white kitchen cabinets have a very modest effect on the space and the full wall of upper and lower cabinets blends into the white walls of the apartment. The kitchen island with the breakfast bar is a great addition as an extra spot for sitting, however, it also functions as a visual separator between the kitchen and living area in this open-plan interior.

A home office space separated by a glass wall

Next to the living kitchen, you can find a small home office space that is separated from the rest of the apartment with a glass wall whit a white metal frame. The dark flooring contrasts nicely with the white walls and the white metal frame, while a subtle color palette of soft furnishings and accessories creates a balanced interior look to work from home.

You can find a second desk beside the smaller bedroom window so two people can work from home simultaneously. The yellow and mustard tones in the artwork complement the colors of the fabrics and soft furnishings on and around the bed, while the aluminum desk lamp adds a modern twist to the setting.

White walls and white floors finished off with lots of art prints

post

This crisp white apartment has white walls and white floors, which form the perfect blank canvas for the impressive gallery walls that decorate both the dining and the living room and add a unique and personalized element to the interior. The two rooms are connected to each other, which makes it even more apparent how the two decor styles of each room are similar.

The bedroom shares the same minimal white decor style as the living area, yet the hallway is painted in a light grey color, which accentuates the lack of natural light in this space. The bathroom has a dramatic look with dark glossy tiles that stands out against the crisp white decor in the rest of the interior.

A living room with white walls and white floors as the perfect backdrop

The living and dining rooms are connected by beautiful French doors. In the living room, a simple white fabric sofa combined with a black and white area rug and a glass coffee table sets the stage for a simple look that is enhanced by art prints, a walnut TV module, and black accent pieces.

The gallery wall above the sofa decorates the white walls and makes the space unique. Two single art prints above the TV module add a point of interest in this section along with the elegant black wall lamp.

The Ikea Billy bookshelves behind the sofa are great for books and decor pieces. Since the living room is spacious enough, there is enough floor space to allow for white space between the sofa and the bookshelves.

A vintage black dresser adds a lot of contrast on the other side of the living room. The white table lamp and the chrome candle holder add elegance, while the small wall sculpture adds a playful touch.

A minimal bedroom with white walls and white floors

The cozy yet minimal white bedroom features white bedding combined with grey and brown accents in the textiles and art prints. One of the Ikea Pax wardrobe modules has mirrored doors, which reflect the space and makes it appear bigger.

A narrow hallway with a custom mudroom bench

A niche space in the hallway is the perfect spot for a custom mudroom bench with cubbies for shoes and a top shelf for extra storage space. The light grey paint color used on the hallway wall is used on the custom mudroom bench, which makes it blend in.

The round mirror reflects the daylight coming in from the adjacent rooms and the grey String system module is great for storing accessories in the hallway. The white marble tile flooring adds a beautiful texture and finishes off the hallway space nicely.

A warm bathroom look with dark glossy wall tiles and black accents

The mixture of dark glossy tiles, black metal shower glass, and beige walls gives the bathroom a bit more of a dramatic look, which stands in stark contrast with the white walls and white floors in the rest of the apartment.
