This spacious Swedish attic home has an abundance of natural light coming through the many skylights on the sloped roof. The minimal and modernized interior with white walls beautifully showcases the original wood beams and a sage-green kitchen takes center stage in the main living area.

The open-plan kitchen and living area are decorated in a modest color palette, from which the kitchen and the black dining chairs pop out. The bedroom on the other hand has an even more subtle color palette for a very modest and minimal appearance.

Sage green kitchen cabinets and a beige limestone countertop

The kitchen module is built against the wall with the most ceiling height, allowing both upper and lower cabinets combined with a tall cupboard for the fridge to be included in the floor plan. The sage green cabinets are paired up with black hardware, a chrome faucet, and a beautiful beige limestone countertop to finish the look off.

An open-plan dining space with black dining chairs

The open-plan kitchen and dining area connect both sides of the attic apartment. The light wood dining table in the middle of the space is paired up with black bentwood chairs and two black Wishbone chairs on the head of the table for a contrasting look.

Next to the sofa area, you can find a home office spot with a desk and a bookshelf attached to the wall.

A niche space next to the balcony is used for placing an elegant daybed in a dark wood tone that matches the wood tone of the exposed beams.

a subtle light grey living room with a tone-on-tone wardrobe

The bedroom has light grey walls, which are matched by the paint color on the wardrobe for a tone-on-tone look enhanced with black hardware. The white bedding and the beige accents in the blanket and the art print add a subtle warm tone to the color palette, from which the small table lamp stands out because of the black base.

The area underneath the sloped roof is used for a small wooden bench on top of which small accessories can be displayed. A great use for an area that would be otherwise lost.

Wood paneling in the bathroom

The grey tiles, white sink, and chrome fittings make for a very neutral color palette in the bathroom, which is enhanced by the wood vanity and the wood paneling in the shower, which add a very warm tone to the color palette.

This gorgeous Swedish apartment has light beige walls throughout, with a few eye-catching pops of color and elegant decor pieces that enhance the unique interior design. The living room has a TV gallery wall, which subtly integrates this piece of electronics and gives it a unique spot on the wall.

The kitchen includes a breakfast nook and the bedroom has a wardrobe built over the bed for optimal storage opportunities. The design of this apartment stands out because of its beautiful custom cabinetry matched with some elegant vintage pieces and unique decor elements for a personalized look.

Beige living room walls with bright accents and a TV gallery wall

The beige living room walls are finished off with a wide white trim underneath the ceiling and warm beige linen curtains that frame the windows. The subtle color palette of the furniture pieces creates the perfect backdrop for a few colorful elements like the red TV bench, the blue Valerie Objects wall lamp, and the color variations in the art prints on the wall.

The TV is integrated into a gallery wall that spreads over the dining area as well. The combination of colors in the art print adds a unique effect to the beige walls and I love the pop of red in one of the art prints and on the TV bench.

Off-white kitchen cabinets with brass hardware

The galley kitchen space has antique white shaker cabinets combined with a dark stone countertop and beautiful brass hardware to finish the look off. The combination of tall cupboards with upper and lower cabinets fills the space with storage, however, by leaving the area close to the window free of upper cabinets, a lighter kitchen look is achieved.

A breakfast nook with shiplap walls is included in the area next to the window. The small table is attached to the bench with a leather cushion and is perfect for holding a cup of coffee in the morning.

A bedroom with built-in storage above the bed

The custom-built wardrobe spreads over the bed, providing the space with ample storage opportunities. The paint color on the cabinets matches the beige paint color on the bedroom walls and the brass hardware provides this custom built-in with a similar expression as the kitchen modules.

The upper cabinets can be reached by placing a ladder (stored in the hallway) on the gold ladder rail. The niche space for the bed has two wall lamps as reading lamps and a small bedside niche has been carved out on each side of the storage modules.

The red and white striped bedding on the bed adds a wonderful pop of color against the beige backdrop of the walls and cabinets.

A custom mudroom bench in the hallway

The hallway includes a custom mudroom bench with closed storage on top, a rail for jackets, and a bench with cubbies to store shoes. The top storage modules can be accessed with a ladder on a rail, just like in the bedroom.

A small concrete bathroom with a custom wood shelf

The small bathroom is covered in micro-cement, which gives it a subtle industrial look that is paired up with a custom wood shelf to add warmth to the setting. The shelf goes all the way up to the ceiling, which makes it blend into the space.

This small apartment combines the kitchen, living, and sleeping functionalities into one single open-plan room. A new wall is constructed in between the kitchen and the bedroom and to allow light to flow freely into the space, an interior window is fitted inside this wall to connect both spaces together.

The white kitchen with beige pale wood countertops sets the stage for the modest color palette of the interior in this small studio apartment that includes tints of beige, white, and other natural colors.

A white studio kitchen with a kitchen island and window toward the bedroom

The kitchen in this apartment is built on a relatively small surface and so the floor plan has to be optimized for enough storage opportunities. The kitchen island not only visually separates the kitchen from the living room area, but it also includes storage modules underneath.

The wall space above the sink is used for upper cabinets that go up to the ceiling, leaving out a small gap next to the wall for floating shelving. This ensures a lighter look and provides a great spot to display the prettiest kitchen items.

The white kitchen cabinets are paired up with a light wood countertop, chrome hardware, and a limestone backsplash that adds elegance to the otherwise simple materials used.

The long window in the kitchen wall looks out onto the bedroom and it allows daylight to flow into the kitchen section of the apartment as well.

A simple white and beige color palette in the living section

The white walls in the living room are enhanced with sheer beige curtains and subtle brown and beige tones in the accessories and textiles for a simple look that works in a calming way.

A round dining table provides ample space for having guests over for dinner and a simple gallery wall decorates the walls in matching tones and colors.

A large mirror leaning against the living room wall reflects a lot of daylight back into the room and makes the space appear larger.

A small bedroom with beige walls and floating shelves inside a niche

Since the kitchen takes up a lot of floor space, the bedroom is rather small, fitting a small bed just barely. Since the bed is wedged in between the kitchen window and the apartment window, it doesn’t feel too cramped, however.

A niche behind the bed is turned into floating shelves which work great as a nightstand, for books, and for small decor pieces.

The beige walls of the bedroom are met by the white walls of the living room. The two wall colors visually separate the two functional areas from each other.

A small hallway with an optimized mudroom section

The small hallway, which can be reached when opening the curtain next to the kitchen, includes access to the bathroom and a small built-in mudroom section to hang jackets, place shoes, and a close storage module on top.

In this simple Swedish apartment with white walls, you can find a variety of black accent decor pieces and furniture spread throughout each room. This ties together the design of the space and the contrast between the black and white elements looks great in this minimal interior design.

The spacious living room contains a sofa and a dining area and the smaller bedroom has a beautiful wardrobe built around the bed to optimize storage space on a relatively small surface.

Black accent decor in a spacious living and dining room

The sofa area in front of the window is marked by the large beige area rug that covers almost this entire section. The white sofa forms the perfect backdrop for a combination of darker tones in the throw pillows and the dark oak coffee table stands out in this setting as well. The black accent decor throughout the space adds interest to this otherwise modest color palette and adds points of interest to the setting.

The elegant black round dining table stands out against the white walls in the living room. The table is paired up with beige textile dining room chairs with a black metal frame: a color palette that also comes back in the eye-catching fabric pendant centered above the table.

A small kitchen dining table in black

The white kitchen cabinets combined with the black countertops have a simple and basic design and follow the black and white color scheme present in the living room of the apartment. The simple black dining table adds a lovely spot to have coffee in the morning and the black rattan bentwood chairs match the look perfectly.

A white bedroom with a wardrobe over the bed

Rather than fitting a small wardrobe on the wall opposite the window, the owners of this beautiful apartment planned out the wardrobe over the bed to save space. This setup allows for the full space above the bed and underneath the ceiling to be utilized and creates a little niche space for the bed.

The wardrobe module is painted in the same off-white paint color as the walls for an integrated effect and is finished off with brass hardware for an elegant look. A floating shelf is added in between the two wardrobe modules on each side of the bed, which is the perfect spot to keep books and small deco items.

The black accent decor that stands out in the rest of the apartment also comes back in the throw pillows on the bed, the lamp and plantpot on the window sill, and the elegant vase on the floating shelf.

While the rest of the rooms in this apartment have white walls and a minimal interior, the dark green kids’ room with an integrated home office spot really stands out in this interior.

The white living room walls are paired up with white and neutral furniture pieces, which is a look that is continued in the connected dining area as well. While the bedroom shares the same white and natural color palette, in this space beige walls are added to the setting.

The dark green kids’ room walls contrast with the white and pink textiles in a very powerful way, which is a color combination that can be observed from the standing mirror in the living room as well.

A minimal white living room setting enhanced with brown tones

The white fabric sofa combined with the white fabric bench, the white walls, and the cream-white fluffy area rug provide the perfect white canvas for the subtle wood and rattan tones in the furniture pieces, and the mixture of beige, brown, and black tones in the textiles, accessories and art prints.

The large standing mirror opposite the sofa reflects the dark green kids’ room and this reflection adds a beautiful glimpse into the adjacent space.

A simple kitchen dining area with a round wood dining table

The open-plan kitchen includes a dining table that can be reached from the living room. The light wood tone of the table combined with the sheer white curtains and the white dining chairs provide a subtle and elegant color palette that complements the materials in the living room area.

A bedroom with beige walls and dark brown furniture pieces

The bedroom is painted with a subtle beige wall color that brings out the dark wood tones in the bedframe and the bedside table. The white curtains, white fabric pendant, and white bedding on the bed lighten up this space and reflect the daylight coming in through the window.

A dark green kids’ room with white and pink textiles

The dark green kids’ room really stands out in this otherwise neutral apartment decor, which is a great choice to add character to a small kids’ room. The swan head, white and pink bedding, and sheer white curtains just seem to pop out of this dark wall color and make for a great contrast in the space.

A white home office spot stands out against the dark green kid’s room walls

In the home office section of the kids’ room, the white Ikea desk and art print stand out against the dark wall color, while the wicker, oak wood, and clay elements add a warming texture to this cozy home office setup.

A bathroom with white tiles, black grout, and brass fittings

The bathroom has beautiful white subway tiles with black grout on the walls, finished off with brass fittings for an elegant look. Note that in the shower, the direction of the tiles changes for an interesting variation in texture.

Dark wood tones in a simple entryway setting

The small entryway of the apartment consists of a dark brown bench combined with a peg rail in the same material which is just enough to store the necessities.

The unique sky-blue kitchen cabinets in this spacious living kitchen are matched by the exact same color on the walls for a tone-on-tone look that modernizes this rather outdated kitchen in such a lovely way. The picture ledges on the wall behind the dining table are painted in the same mesmerizing color as well, tying together the look nicely.

The long white dining table with the white linen tablecloth combined with the mixture of black dining chairs and the dark tones in the artwork adds a lot of contrast to the sky-blue walls with the white trim. These accessories and furniture pieces make the color palette interesting.

Sky-blue kitchen cabinets against a sky-blue wall color

The effect of a light blue kitchen in a space can be so impressive whether you go for a light or dark blue color. This rather outdated kitchen was painted in a very light blue color, giving it a unique update and a modern touch against the backdrop of the tone-on-tone wall painted with the exact same color.

The cabinet fronts, as well as the sides, plinths and walls are all painted in the same sky-blue wall color, which makes the black countertop and the accessories on the wall stand out in a lovely way.

A long dining table paired with a mixture of black dining chairs

The white, black, and natural tones stand out so nicely against the sky-blue walls and the sky-blue picture ledges are perfect for displaying carefully selected accessories and art prints against the beautiful sky-blue backdrop.

The contrasting lines on the different models of black dining chairs add a lot of contrast to the setting, which also comes back in the painting on the wall behind the dining table.

A vintage sideboard provides the kitchen with extra storage space

Even though the color palette is relatively neutral apart from the sky-blue kitchen cabinets and the wall color, on the other side of the dining table, you can find a beautiful vintage sideboard in a warm wood tint that adds another tone to the color palette.

The beautiful detailing in the doors and the warm wood tone stand out in such a nice way against the backdrop of the sky-blue walls, accentuating this beautiful vintage piece.

A daybed in front of the window adds a lounge area to the living kitchen

Since this living kitchen is so spacious, the area in front of the window is reserved for a beautiful daybed paired up with an elegant standing lamp and a sky-blue throw pillow that makes a link to the wall color.

This small one-bedroom apartment in Sweden has a warm grey paint color in the bedroom, combined with grey paint with green undertones in the adjacent living room. The different colors in both rooms can be seen through the open bedroom door and I think they complement each other nicely.

The decor in this apartment is simple yet elegant, with a light palette in the furniture and soft furnishings contrasting against the darker wall color.

Grey paint with green undertones in a living room with bay windows

The Ikea Eket modules on the living room wall are painted in the same grey paint color as the walls for a tone-on-tone effect with a green plant on top that brings out the green undertones in the wall color. The standing mirror on the cupboard and the hanging mirror on the wall make sure a lot of daylight is reflected in this beautiful living room corner.

The bay windows let in a lot of light, which is reflected off the white lounge chair and the white fluffy area rug in the sofa area. The TV is mounted on the wall with a hidden cable for an unobtrusive effect in the interior.

A white kitchen with black countertops and an elegant green wallpaper

The modest white kitchen with black countertops is a little dated, yet by adding a statement wallpaper above the shiplap walls on the other side, the dining room section becomes very cozy and inviting.

Subtle accessories spruce up the kitchen and the green plants and flowers bring out the green tones in the kitchen wallpaper.

A dark grey bedroom wall color

The bedroom is small, which is accentuated even more by the dramatic dark grey wall color. The white curtains, white bedding, and the white pendant light stand out in such a contrasting way against the dark wall color, while the black Arum wall lights add an even darker tone to the wall.

The wardrobe is painted in the same dark grey paint color as the walls, making it blend into the interior. The white knobs on the wardrobe doors stand out nicely against the dark grey backdrop.

Charcoal grey in the hallway

While the bedroom is painted in a dark color, in the small hallway the paint choice was made even darker for a more dramatic effect. The simple wall shelf is painted in the same color as the walls and the classic mirror on the wall reflects the daylight coming from the other room.
