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.

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.

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 soft yellow 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 dark green-grey kitchen cabinets add a lot of contrast to the interior with light grey walls. The white marble countertops and the white subway tile backsplash lighten up the color palette and the chrome hardware adds a modern touch to the setting.

The backside of the larger cupboard on the side of the kitchen lengthens the hallway section of the apartment. On the wall next to the entryway, you can find a wall shelf and a small bench.

While you often see floor plans where the sofa is placed against one of the living room walls, placing the sofa as a separator can be great when you want to create a visual difference between two functional areas.

The dining table with black dining chairs is placed parallel to the brown sofa and the window, allowing for two different areas in the living space.

The burned-orange velvet sofa fabric is paired with a mixture of beige throw pillows and a dark oak coffee table on top of an off-white area rug that makes this section of the living kitchen cozy and inviting.

The bedroom can be reached through the doorway right next to the kitchen. The mixture of orange and beige tones stands out from the other room and ties the two color palettes together.

The wall-to-wall wardrobe is built into one of the bedroom walls and the cabinet doors have been painted in the same paint color, which makes them blend in nicely.

Grey walls, beige tones, and an elegant white kitchen

post

This elegant apartment in Sweden (Photographed by Frederic Boukari for Historiska Hem) has a beautiful white kitchen with a white marble countertop and backsplash standing proudly in a living kitchen with a dining and sofa area.

The walls of the apartment are painted in a beautiful light grey shade, that complements the white-soaped hardwood flooring and accentuates the white ceiling trim and the beautiful white historic windows. The living space is decorated in a modest color palette with neutrals, beige tints, and black accent pieces to bring some contrast to the mix.

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.

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.
