Open-plan apartment with an eclectic mix of furniture

post

This beautiful open-plan apartment in Sweden includes a living kitchen with a vintage dining table combined with a mixture of blue and yellow colored plastic shell chairs and a subtle light grey kitchen with an eye-catching white tile backsplash.

The living kitchen includes a custom storage solution with a mirrored sliding door and a stained steel sliding door that adds a beautiful industrial touch to the space.

The adjacent bedroom is decorated in a cozy yet minimal way and contains a walk-in closet that is separated from the rest of the bedroom with a beautiful glass partition with sliding doors.

The simple light grey kitchen cabinets in this open-plan kitchen are enhanced with brass hardware and a beautiful black stove and hood. The white tiles on the backsplash add an industrial touch to the space and the white marble countertops add a subtle elegance.

The kitchen is planned along a single wall, making this loft space appear even bigger.

The vintage dining table in between the kitchen and the sofa area is a great spot for having dinner. The mixture of yellow and blue chairs adds a subtle yet unique color variation to the interior.

A custom storage solution with sliding doors

On the wall opposite the window, you can find a built-in storage module, which can be closed with steel sliding doors. One slider door is made of mirrored glass, which reflects the living kitchen in a beautiful way.

The distressed wood French doors that lead to the bedroom add a certain farmhouse look and feel to the space.

The minimal white bedroom decor with a cozy atmosphere features white walls with a beautiful white fabric pendant lamp and yellow tones in the textiles and accessories.

A sliding door glass partition with a white metal frame separates the bedroom from the walk-in closet and a simple wainscoting detail on the bedroom wall marks the borders of the sleeping area in a lovely way.

The walk-in closet contains custom wardrobes on each side of the space, combined with a yellow daybed in the middle. The large round wall mirror on the wall reflects the daylight coming from the bedroom window and brightens up the closet space.

A renovated attic home with exposed beams and a sage-green kitchen

post

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.

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 living room 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.

Light beige walls and pops of color in a turn-of-the-century apartment

post

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.

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.

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.

Small apartment with a window between the kitchen and bedroom

post

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.

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 peninsula 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 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.

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.

Black accent decor pieces in a cozy interior

post

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.

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.

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.

Minimal white interior with a dark green kids room

post

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Duplex loft with a beautiful rounded window

post

This beautiful duplex loft in Sweden has an impressive ceiling height, which is used for a second level that contains both a bedroom and a home office. The impressive steel staircase comes out in the living room, while the area underneath the loft level is used for the kitchen and a dining area with dark grey walls.

On the second level of this duplex loft, you can find a bedroom with dark teal walls and a walk-in closet with a small home office. The loft level is separated by a glass partition that allows the daylight to come through from the large window.

Even though the selection of the decor and wall color in the living room of this duplex loft is rather simple, the beautiful gallery wall reaching up toward the ceiling is what makes the space unique and personal.

On the other side of the rounded window, you can find a smaller gallery wall that follows the staircase. These art prints really accentuate how high these ceilings really are.

The simple white kitchen with black countertops is paired up with an elegant white and black tile floor. The black backsplash of the kitchen is complemented by the dark grey wall color in the dining area and the black furniture pieces in the entryway.

The section underneath the loft that holds the dining table is visually separated from the sofa area by a dark wall color. The dark grey paint on the wall pairs up nicely with the dark wood vintage dining table and the dark green dining chairs and I love the way the white in the art prints pops out against the wall color.

The second loft level can be reached when climbing up the steel staircase in the living room. The bedroom space is separated from the downstairs area by a black metal glass partition that still lets through the daylight coming from the rounded window in the living room. Curtains are added behind the glass wall for added privacy when needed.

The bedroom is painted in a deep and dark teal paint color, which puts all the attention on the white structural beams that can be observed on the ceiling. The white fabric bedframe stands out against this dark wall color, while the round mirror on the wall reflects the bedroom and makes it appear bigger.

A small home office combined closet

The walk-in closet behind the bedroom also holds a small home office space made with a String furniture desk in walnut that is attached to the wall. For the closet space, the same paint color as the one used in the bedroom was picked out in a few shades lighter, which was a great choice for this tiny room that doesn’t get any direct daylight.

Mixing modern and antique furniture in a small grey studio home

post

This beautiful studio apartment with grey walls is a perfect example of how mixing modern and antique furniture pieces can have such a unique and personal effect on an interior. Especially when you live on a smaller surface, it’s important to add character and to make your home look unique.

The modern furniture pieces in the sleeping and living area of this studio home are mixed with a beautiful antique dresser and a small antique desk. These antique pieces add a beautiful warm tone against the warm grey paint color on the walls and give the color palette a richer appearance, while the modern striped lounge chair adds a trendy element to the space.

The sofa area is placed on top of a warm grey area rug that visually separates this area from the home office and sleeping section. The rug complements the wall color nicely, while the moss-green sofa adds a beautiful color variation to the setting.

The warm beige rice-paper pendant, the modern striped lounge chair, and the gallery wall above the sofa add a unique and personal touch to the interior, while the radiator covers add a classic element to the space.

The beautiful antique desk in the area next to the window is paired up with two simple wooden boards that rest on wall brackets for holding books and accessories above the desk. The warm wood of the antique furniture pieces and the lighter pine wood of the wall shelves warm up this office nook, while the white bentwood chair stands out against this setting.

The small sleeping area on the other side of the room is paired up with a vintage black wall lamp, a simple stool, and a beautiful beige art print that stands out against the backdrop of the grey wall color. The white bedding and bed skirt is paired with a combination of throw pillows in beige, yellow, and brown to match the warm wood tone of the hardwood flooring.

The small kitchen dining area features a beautiful antique pendant lamp in combination with a white-painted vintage wall shelf and modern oak dining chairs around the table.

Sky-blue kitchen cabinets and tone-on-tone walls

post

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 kitchen 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.

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.

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.

Grey paint with green undertones in a small apartment with white floors

post

This small yet beautiful apartment with white plank floors has the most subtle grey paint with green undertones on the walls, with a large trim below the ceiling to accentuate the height of the small apartment. White floors are a great choice for small apartments and studios as they will reflect the daylight and make your space appear bigger.

The furniture and soft furnishings in this small flat are picked out in a white or light color palette, with a few green plants that bring out the subtle green undertones in the paint color.

The white sofa combined with the white pendant light, white area rug, and white lounge chair provides the living space with a bright appearance that is contrasted by a few dark wood elements and black tones in the accessories. The light wood coffee table adds a soft note to the color palette, while the greens add a fresh touch to this combined living and sleeping space.

A single bed is placed opposite the sofa. The bed can be used to sit on when guests are coming over and the window with the beautiful fabric curtains separates the two functional areas nicely from each other.

The addition of the simple yet popular Ikea Vittsjö desk in black is perfect to provide the small apartment with a home office section. The black of the desk and table lamp contrasts nicely with the light wall color and the green and brown tones in the flower and art print bring out the green undertones in the grey paint in a wonderful way.

The narrow kitchen is just wide enough to place a small round dining table in front of the window, enhanced with two compact wall shelves to store kitchen accessories. The light wood of the dining table combined with the black dining chairs and the simple white pendant light makes for a cozy setting that is freshened up by the addition of green plants on the window sill and on the table.

Just like in the rest of the apartment, the plank floors in the hallway are also painted white. The black wood storage wall in combination with the black folding bench and the black mirror adds a powerful contrast to this setting that is warmed up and softened out by the natural materials in the rug storage and basket.
