A classic grey shaker kitchen in a flat with exposed brick walls

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment for sale in Sweden (photographed by Frederik J Karlsson for Alvhem) has partially exposed brick walls by the window adding a warm and rustic effect to the otherwise classic interior. The classic shaker kitchen is paired with beige walls with green undertones for a beautiful combination of colors.

The rest of the living space is decorated classically, with the original porcelain fireplace and the floral armchairs adding a bit of a romantic element to the interior.

A contemporary residential renovation with classic elements

post

This newly-built private residence in the south of Finland is designed by Fyra (in collaboration with Studio BonBon Architects, photographed by Riikka Kantinkoski). The calm and tranquil aesthetic of the interior is carefully crafted with custom furniture, lighting, and surfaces to meet the needs of the residents.

The clean and minimal architecture draws inspiration from a Mediterranean aesthetic, while the interior design disrupts uniformity with a variety of textures and materials for a vibrant and engaging effect. The combination of rough and soft surfaces works well in this spacious home where thoughtful lines of sight facilitate serene transitions from one room into the other.

Modern elegance in a historic motor torpedo boat hall renovation

post

This modern renovation project done by Norm Architects (photographed by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen) is located in what used to be a torpedo boat hall from the nineties. The thoughtful interior of the apartment celebrates the historical significance and contemporary relevance of the original building.

In this modern renovation project, Scandinavian and Japanese design elements are merged for a tranquil and harmonious look that pairs well with the original steel structure of the building.
