Tiny attic apartment with a black kitchen and dark walls

post

This tiny attic apartment (Styled by Nouvel Interior, photographed by Alen Cordic, for sale via Entrance Makleri) has dark grey walls paired with a black kitchen for a moody effect in the living space that adds a unique and characterful effect to this interior with a small floor plan.

The living kitchen includes a small sofa section with a white sofa that stands out against the dark grey walls and a round dining table with dark wood dining chairs that add a warm element to the setting. The kitchen itself has black kitchen cabinets paired with a black stone countertop for dramatic effect in the interior.

The bedroom has lighter grey walls, highlighting the abundance of daylight that comes through the skylight in the ceiling.

Dark grey walls make the white couch stand out

The living kitchen includes a sofa area with a white couch, a graphic area rug in off-white, and a white pendant light above the coffee table. The white tones stand out against the dark grey living room walls in a strong and contrasting way that makes this space unique.

By painting both the walls and the ceiling in the same paint color, the different surfaces blend in with each other, and the low ceiling height isn’t that apparent anymore in the space.

A large round mirror on the wall at the entrance of the apartment reflects the living room and makes the space appear bigger.

A small round dining table with warm wood dining chairs

Opposite the sofa area and next to the kitchen, a small round dining table is placed on top of a natural area rug. The warm wood tones in the dining chairs add a beautiful warm tone to the setting, while the tall plant in front of the window adds a fresh element against the dark grey walls.

A black kitchen with black countertops and black hardware

To further enhance the moody effect of the dark grey walls, the kitchen is fully black. The black kitchen cabinets are paired with black countertops and black hardware for a tone-on-tone look that stands out against the wall color.

The black kitchen aesthetic can also be found back in the black wall shelving and the black range hood above the kitchen counter.

The kitchen is planned along a single wall, perfectly fitting this small space.

A bedroom with light grey walls and a gallery wall

Even though the ceiling is rather awkward in the attic bedroom, a niche space for the bed allows for a functional bedroom interior. The light grey bedroom walls add a subtle color to the design, which is enhanced by a round mirror and a gallery wall decorating the wall at the end of the bed.

A light-flooded historic apartment with blue accents

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Fredrik J Karlsson, sold via Alvhem) with beautiful wainscoting and historical details is decorated in an elegant way, with a great selection of colors and materials.

The white kitchen with gold hardware features a beautiful floral kitchen wallpaper in the dining area, giving the space a unique and personal look.

The bedroom, which can be reached from the double interior doors in the living room is decorated in a mixture of neutral tones and includes a small home office section with a vintage desk.

All the walls in the living room have been finished with elegant wainscoting that complements the historic features of the building nicely. The white fabric couch in front of the window is decorated with a mixture of beige and blue textiles, a color palette that can be observed in the artwork hanging above it as well.

The living room gallery wall in brown, black, and beige tones connects the dining area with the sofa section. The light oak wood on the bentwood dining chairs pairs nicely with the white-soaped hardwood flooring in the apartment and the end of the area rug indicates the start of a new functional area visually.

A reading corner with open shelving

On the other side of the living room, you can find a comfortable armchair paired with open shelving on the wall and a small side table, resulting in a cozy reading corner. Also here a few pops of blue can be found back in the accessories.

A white kitchen with gold hardware and a wallpaper section

The kitchen features white cabinets finished with gold hardware, a white marble countertop, and a white subway tile backsplash. The floor plan is arranged in a galley kitchen layout, leaving a large space by the balcony window for a small kitchen dining table. This dining section is treated with beautiful floral kitchen wallpaper.

The white subway tile backsplash is finished with black grout that stands in strong contrast with the whimsical pattern on the wallpaper.

The gold hardware is complemented with a gold faucet and the brass rails on the wall are great for hanging small kitchen utensils.

The round dining room table with the white tablecloth and the white curtains stands out against the deep blue and red color palette of the wallpaper in the background.

A bedroom with light grey walls and a modest color palette

The light grey bedroom walls are paired with a mixture of white, beige, and grey textiles on the bed, and a fluffy white area rug at the end of the bed adds a lot of texture to the room. The subtle grey headboard complements the color palette of the room perfectly.

Bedroom home office with a vintage desk

The vintage desk in the corner of the bedroom is perfect to function as a small bedroom home office corner. The section next to the double interior doors is a great spot for this, as it’s not used for a wardrobe or other storage functionality.

Bright two-level home with a light palette decor

post

This beautiful Swedish apartment on two levels (for sale via Alvhem) is flooded with daylight coming through the windows, which gets reflected nicely on the light wall color and the light palette interior color palette.

On the first level, you can find a living room and dining room, with a reading corner utilizing the otherwise lost space underneath the staircase. The entryway includes a custom white mudroom bench that matches the overall light palette of the interior.

The second level includes a large master bedroom with a seating area, a kid’s room, and a niche space with a floating desk that can be used as a home office.

The subtle light grey walls in the living room area paired with two white fabric sofas and the beige and white textured area rug adds so much character to the room. The dark wood legs of the coffee table and the black wall lamp add a bit of contrast to the setting, while the green plants add a fresh touch.

The TV is mounted on the small wall next to the doorway with a floating shelf underneath it for books.

A built-in wardrobe that spreads across the living room wall provides this level with so much storage space. By closing the area above the wardrobe until the ceiling and by placing floorboards on the bottom, the wardrobe looks built-in. Since it has been painted in the same color as the walls, it blends in with the interior.

A dining room with a reading corner underneath the white staircase

The space right next to the living room includes a bright white staircase to go to the master bedroom on the second level. This space makes for a perfect dining room with oak wood dining chairs and a cozy reading corner transforms the otherwise unused space underneath the staircase.

A simple kitchen with greige walls and a small dining area

Even though the kitchen itself looks a bit dated and the new owners will most likely remodel it, the general setting of this room looks stylish and inviting because of the cozy dining room setting by the window.

A kitchen with greige walls and a round dining table with a large wall shelf

A large wall shelf placed high up above the dining table is great for holding wine bottles, glasses, and accessories. The shelf gives this section a unique look.

A spacious master bedroom underneath the sloped roof

On the second level, underneath the sloped roof, you can find a master bedroom with a seating area and so much daylight coming in through those rooftop windows. The light color palette present on the first floor also comes back in the master bedroom, with white, beige, and natural tones decorating the space.

The bamboo bench behind the bed is a great decor element and the off-white wool rug offers a soft surface to place your feet on when you get up in the morning. The black bedside tables with green plants add a bit of contrast to this beautiful bedroom section, while the striped headboard adds a beautiful texture.

On the other side of the master bedroom, you can find a seating area with a white couch and a white fluffy area rug. The wood tones in the Wishbone chair and the blanket on the sofa add a beautiful warm element to this setting.

A small wardrobe in the same style as the one in the living room is placed against the bedroom wall.

A home office with a floating desk in a niche spot by the staircase

A niche spot by the staircase includes a floating desk, which makes for a perfect home office spot to get some work done. This area would otherwise not be used for any other functionality anyways. I believe that an awkward rooftop niche can be found behind the curtain, which doesn’t need to be accessed so often but is great for storing items that are not used that often.

A hallway with a custom mudroom bench and a large mirror

The hallway on the first level is fitted with a custom white mudroom bench that includes closed storage drawers on the bottom and an elegant coat rack on top. The custom elements are white, just like the wall so they blend in nicely. The large mirror next to it is great for checking your outfit before you go, yet it also reflects daylight back into the entryway space.

Light grey kitchen cabinets and a breakfast nook in a stylish Swedish home

post

The focal point in this beautiful Swedish flat (photographed by Krister Engstrรถm, styled by Livindeco, sold via Kvarteret Mรคkleri) is definitely the modern light grey kitchen with the custom breakfast nook fitted in between two pantries. The kitchen lies right next to the living room and is connected by an open-plan layout.

The living room features greige walls, a textural area rug, and a TV that’s integrated inside of a beautiful gallery wall, making it a beautiful decor element in the space.

Both the master bedroom and the kid’s room have a delicate wallpaper design that adds an elegant and slightly romantic touch and the hallway hides away a small home office space behind the curtain.

The kitchen is built alongside the entire kitchen wall and includes a combination of light grey kitchen cabinets, chrome hardware, and a beige natural stone countertop that results in a modern yet cozy appearance.

The top half of the wall above the kitchen sink doesn’t have any upper cabinets. Instead, it features a beautiful wooden wall shelf with a peg rail underneath it.

The custom breakfast nook on the other side of the kitchen is built in between two pantries and the grey fabric bench is made to fit the space. The wall shelf used above the kitchen sink comes back on the wall in the breakfast nook and displays a beautiful selection of ceramic plates.

A spacious living room with greige walls and a textural area rug

The living room features greige walls, paired with white and beige textiles, which results in a soft and inviting look. The large textured area rug covers a large portion of the living room flooring and complements the two different couch designs perfectly.

A TV gallery wall for an impressive effect in the space

A TV is one of the most challenging things to decorate and including it inside of a TV gallery wall is a perfect way to make it blend in.

The TV is surrounded by a selection of art prints in natural colors and on the bottom you can find two wall shelves offering storage space for magazines and a few complementing decor elements.

A delicate pattern wallpaper in the bedroom paired with an impressive headboard

The bedroom wallpaper enhances the look of the interior and adds a delicate touch in combination with the impressive headboard that continues up to the ceiling. The beige and natural color palette of the bedroom textiles and accessories allow for the wallpaper to shine and the black accents offer a lovely contrast.

Red and brown tones in a small apartment with a kitchen inside a niche space

post

This small yet stylish Swedish apartment (styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Henrik Linden, for sale via Alvhem) is decorated with subtle tints of beige, brown, and terracotta. This color palette adds a warm glow to the interior and has a contrasting effect at the same time.

The small kitchen with white cabinets and black countertops has been fitted inside a niche space in the wall, fully utilizing this otherwise lost space.

The bedroom has a minimal, yet cozy appearance with a mainly white color palette enhanced with brown tones in the furniture and art print above the bed.

In front of the white living room walls, a beige fabric sofa is placed on top of a white area rug. The mixture of beige and terracotta textiles combined with the dark wood coffee tables and the brown tones in the art prints add a warm glow to this setting, while the black stool and the black table lamp add a beautiful contrast.

The dining area starts where the rug underneath the sofa ends, allowing for a clear visual separation between the two functional areas.

A small kitchen built inside a niche space in the wall

This tiny kitchen has been built inside a small niche space in the wall, which is an efficient way of utilizing this space. An old doorway is used to place the fridge, which otherwise would take up too much space on such a tiny surface.

Lower cabinets are paired with a single upper cabinet and floating kitchen shelves allow for a lighter look in this small kitchen.

Minimal white bedroom with subtle brown tones in the accessories

This bedroom has a minimal appearance, with a cozy effect with white walls, off-white linen curtains, and subtle beige and dusty rose bedding on the bed. The dark wood bedside tables and the brown tones in the artwork above the bed add a few contrasting elements to this otherwise light palette bedroom interior.

White walls and white floors in a bright Swedish apartment

post

This bright and white Swedish apartment (sold at Stadshem) pairs white walls with white floors that reflect the daylight coming into these historic windows. The kitchen and living room are connected with beautiful double interior doors, allowing for an open-plan layout. The white living room palette is contrasted by a few darker interior elements and a vintage wood desk by the window.

The bedroom is the only room with a darker wall color, which makes the white historic details on the ceiling and the white textiles stand out in a powerful way.

The bedroom, living room, and the kid’s room with an asymmetrical floor plan come out onto the hallway which is fitted with a DIY mudroom bench that provides a creative solution for the storage of shoes and jackets.

The white walls and white floors are paired with a white fabric sofa (it’s the Ikea Soderhamn with a custom Bemz cover*) and a beautiful white and beige chequered area rug that adds a playful effect to the space. The darker textiles and the black leather Eames lounge chair provide the space with a beautiful contrast.

A simple white kitchen with a spacious dining area

The simple kitchen design has white kitchen cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling for ample storage space. Since the main kitchen module is located on just one side, the kitchen was planned with both upper and lower cabinets on almost the full length of the wall.

A kitchen with white cabinets and a spacious dining table

The white kitchen is contrasted with a selection of black and wood dining chairs and a wood dining table, which adds a lot of character to the space. The subtle beige area rug separates the dining area from the kitchen visually.

Rather than placing another upper cabinet right next to the kitchen window, a small open shelf provides a spot for a few kitchen accessories.

Sand walls and a minimal decor in a historic Swedish flat

post

This gorgeous Swedish flat with sand walls (sold via Historiska Hem) has a clean and minimal decor that makes the historic details of the building stand out in an elegant way. The combined dining and living room is connected to the kitchen, which has simple white cabinets and a cute bench in front of the window that can be used as a breakfast nook.

The bedroom is my favorite space in the apartment, as the decor pairs perfectly with the greige walls, and the careful selection of accessories and textiles enhances the look of this space.

As a smart solution to work from home, a small walk-in closet is transformed into an office space with a floating desk paired with a few floating shelves for storage space.

The combined dining and living room has the most subtle greige paint color on the walls, which makes the white floorboards, crown molding underneath the ceiling, and the white doors stand out. The elegant light wood dining table pairs nicely with the off-white dining chairs and the next to the table finishes the look off perfectly.

Villa Vipp Puglia: a Danisch design retreat in Italy

post

Danish design brand Vipp has opened the doors of a new countryside guesthouse in Ostuni, one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. The design of the guesthouse was realized in collaboration with the Dutch design studio Studiotoff who are specialized in adaptive reuse and renovation projects.

The whitewashed building so typical of Puglia’s scenic landscape holds a one-story family guesthouse that goes in line with the architectural style of the area. The edges of the 1.5 ha plot are lined with a low dry-stone wall which is a local tradition to define your piece of land. The villa itself stands in sharp contrast against the rugged natural scenery.

A modern living space with a light grey kitchen

The living kitchen is characterized by the modern light grey kitchen with stainless steel countertops that contribute to a modern design aesthetic. The curated furniture selection harmonizes perfectly with a selection of rural countryside objects.

The concrete flooring and white walls set the stage for the grey Vipp kitchen and the grey sectional sofa, which seem to both blend in and stand out in this setting at the same time.

Cozy yet minimal bedrooms with a mixture of modern and rustic elements

Just like in the rest of the interior, the bedrooms are decorated in a cozy, yet minimal way, with a mixture of modern design elements paired with rustic accessories and details to make the space inviting and to make it match the style of the area.

Open-plan apartment in a turn-of-the-century building

post

This beautiful Swedish apartment (sold by Alvhem) has an open layout plan that connects the living room to the kitchen via the dining room. The view from one side of the apartment all the way to the other side is impressive, to say the least, and you can see that the opening towards the kitchen was made at a later point during renovations.

The dining room and living room are decorated with a mixture of beiges, different wood tones, and a variety of green plants that stand out against the white walls.

Both the master and guest bedroom have a wardrobe fitted above the doorway to optimally use the floor space for storage.

By opening up the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, the layout of the kitchen can be bigger and the owners planned a large kitchen island with a sink that connects the kitchen with the adjacent living space.

The island includes storage cabinets on both sides. The storage cabinets right next to the dining table are great for storing dinnerware right next to the dining table.

The dining area features a large oval dining table, which is paired with a mixture of light and dark wood dining chairs. The vintage sideboard against the wall adds another interesting wood tone to the setting, which pairs well with the white-soaped hardwood flooring.

A Swedish apartment with a combination of different wallpaper designs

post

This gorgeous Swedish apartment (Styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Jonas Lundberg for Stadshem) features a combination of two different floral wallpaper patterns in the living and bedroom for a characterful effect that is romantic, however since the furniture selected is quite minimal, the interior has a modern appearance at the same time.

The wall between the kitchen and the living room is opened up for an unobstructed view and an open-plan layout. The sage green kitchen cabinets are paired up with an elegant wood dining table and chairs and the green of the kitchen cabinets complements the green tones in the living room.

The bedroom has a green botanical wallpaper pattern, which makes the old doorway that was turned into a bookshelf stand out in a powerful way.

The living room features a bold wallpaper pattern with red and green tones, which is a true focal point in the space. The white historic fireplace, beige sofa, and white area rug stand out against the darker tones in the wallpaper, and the white pendant light adds a statement piece to the setting.

Sage green kitchen cabinets and a round dining table

The green tones in the wallpaper come back in the sage green kitchen cabinets of the kitchen, which are paired with a black countertop and a tile backsplash with an elaborate pattern.

The round wood dining table and chairs provide the kitchen with a spacious dining spot that pairs wonderfully with the soft beige wall color used on the kitchen walls.

The wall next to the dining table is finished with a simple wall shelf and an art print with green tones that pair nicely with the kitchen cabinets and the living room wallpaper.

A botanical pattern wallpaper in the bedroom with a niche turned into a bookshelf

The bedroom wallpaper has a beautiful leaf pattern that adds a lovely texture and makes the dark hardwood flooring and the white ceiling stand out. Since the wallpaper is such a focal point, the decor in the rest of the bedroom interior has been kept rather modest, with a combination of white and beige textiles on the bed.

Next to the bed, an old doorway has been transformed into a bookshelf with white shelving and a white background, which stands out against the green backdrop of the wallpaper design.

The small table in front of the window provides a lovely office spot to work from home and I love the way the light wood tone of the desk stands out against the dark wood floor.
