The walls in this Swedish apartment are painted white in every single room, which goes well in combination with the beautiful hardwood herringbone flooring that spreads throughout the large rooms. The black and brown decor pieces and furniture are a key element in the design of the apartment, and it’s a color palette that comes back in every single room.
The living room and master bedroom are connected with beautiful historic sliding doors, allowing you to see from one room into the other. The color palettes of both rooms complement each other perfectly, while the textures of the different materials add interest and texture to the space.
A living room with black and brown decor against white walls
The living room has a beautiful light beige fabric sofa, which is decorated with a mixture of beige and brown throw pillows and a beautiful beige linen pendant light. The black coffee table on the natural area rug adds a lot of contrast to the sofa area, which also comes back in the black antique dining table next to the fireplace.
The framed art print next to the window with the white linen curtains has brown tones that also come back in the small details and accessories that are spread throughout the interior.
A contrasting dining table next to the fireplace
The black vintage dining table next to the fireplace is paired up with two black chairs and two dark wood Bruno Rey chairs (currently produced by HAY). This dark setting is enhanced with black and brown decor pieces on the table and on the mantle of the fireplace and the brown tones also come back in the beautiful art print on the wall behind the dining table.
A simple white kitchen with a vintage table
The simple white kitchen has a white subway tile backsplash and wood countertops for a simple, yet elegant look that matches the white walls. The distressed vintage dining table really stands out in this all-white setting and adds a bit of character to the kitchen decor.
The vintage dining table is combined with two black bentwood chairs for a black and brown decor palette that matches the one in the living room.
The stainless steel Moccamaster coffee maker stands out on the wooden counter and matches the stainless steel hood and faucet in a subtle way.
Beige and brown tints in the master bedroom
The master bedroom, which can be reached through the sliding doors from the living room, has been decorated with a mixture of beige and brown linen textiles on the bed and headboard and a beige wool area rug to add a lovely texture. The black bedside tables add some contrast, while the white fabric pendant light adds an elegant touch to the space.
A small home office spot with a white-painted vintage desk adorns the corner next to the window in the bedroom. The white desk is contrasted with a black Series 7 chair and black and brown decor pieces on top of the desk.
The bedroom wardrobe is custom-built and has a subtle grey color that stands out against the white bedroom walls. The oak wood ladder to reach the top cabinets underneath the ceiling is hung up as part of the wardrobe design and matches the wooden ladder rail.
A cozy hallway with shelving above the doors
The hallway connects the different rooms of the apartment and is characterized by a bookshelf above the doorways. I think this is a smart way to store books when you don’t want them to take up a prominent place in your interior.
The vintage dresser in the hallway is painted in a subtle blue color which stands out against the walls, while the round mirror completes its look.
The finishes and floor plan of this majestic attic apartment in Sweden are very high-end and it’s amazing to see the result of the remodeling of this historic place. The dark oak kitchen cabinets stand out in the interior with white walls exclusively, not only because of their deep tone but also because the kitchen connects all the different rooms in the apartment, functioning as a true hub.
The interior design of the living room and the bedrooms is minimal yet elegant, highlighting the beautiful quality of the natural materials used throughout the space.
A dark oak living kitchen is the hub of the apartment
The combination of the dark oak kitchen cabinets with the white walls and the white natural stone countertops works beautifully in this big attic kitchen space that can be reached from the staircase when entering the attic apartment.
The layout consists of a large module on the wall with a small window and a beautiful kitchen island in the middle of the space, that includes the cooking hob.
The beautiful, irregular wall in this historic attic apartment is decorated with dark oak floating shelves that follow the lines of the sloped ceiling.
A dining area in a dark tone complements the dark oak kitchen cabinets
I love the combination of the dark wood dining table and chairs, which takes front and center in the living room, with the dark oak kitchen cabinets which can be seen throughout the open floorplan.
A simple living room setting underneath a sloped roof
The living room features small exposed beams underneath the windows, which contrasts nicely against the white walls and are quite the eye-catcher in the space. The rest of the living room decor is kept minimal and in a neutral color palette.
The light grey sofa combined with the two black leather armchairs and the dark wood tables forms the perfect setting in combination with the adjacent dining table and chairs.
A minimal guest bedroom design with a large balcony window
The design of the attic guest bedroom is kept minimal since the angles of the sloped ceiling already add a lot of visual lines to the setting. A subtle mixture of textiles on the bed, a soft grey wool rug, and a single black leather armchair are enough to design the room.
A large window leading up to the balcony is decorated with beautiful linen curtains that transform this window into a design element in the space.
A beautiful staircase with exposed beams and an eye-catching light fixture
The staircase in the hallway comes out into the kitchen, where the dark exposed beams perfectly complement the dark oak cabinets. The focal point in the staircase is a multi-arm pendant with reflective discs that must cast a beautiful atmospheric light throughout the space in the evenings.
Master bedroom with a custom wood headboard
When going up the small staircase in the open-plan kitchen, you can reach the master bedroom, which has a minimal appearance like the guest bedroom. The natural oak headboard complements the hardwood flooring and accentuates the half-wall behind which a wardrobe is hidden.
The two wall lamps fit perfectly against the white walls, while the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling curtains add a luxurious look and feel to this beautiful space.
A modern yet delicate bathroom design
Rather than matching the dark oak kitchen cabinets in the bathroom as well, a lighter color palette was selected with fluted cabinet fronts in a soft color palette that complements the limestone tiles on the walls and flooring. The large, custom mirror above the sink reflects the space in a beautiful way and the sheer curtains in front of the window add an elegant element to the modern materials.
The module next to the sink contains the washing machine, built into a custom casing so it’s not in plain sight.
This spacious yet cozy and inviting Swedish apartment is decorated with a balanced mixture of black, brown, and beige tones resulting in a natural color palette that is modest yet provides a stark contrast with the white walls and beautiful herringbone hardwood flooring.
The apartment consists of a living and dining room connected by sliding doors, resulting in an open-plan feeling with a historic touch. The simple white kitchen is completed with a beautiful round dining table and the bedroom shares the same color palette as the rest of the space.
A dining room with a vintage dining table and eye-catching pendant light
The dining room must be my favorite room in this apartment. The vintage dining table and chairs combine wonderfully with the whimsical shape of the beautiful pendant light above it.
The seating bench against the wall and the fiddle fig tree in the corner next to the window complement the space well, yet all the attention goes to the middle of the space where the dining room stands.
The simple round mirror on the wall reflects the room, adds depth, and accentuates the size of the connected living spaces.
Black, brown, and beige tones in a subtle living room look
The spacious living room has two light grey couches facing each other, leaving a spot for the dark wood coffee table in the middle. The bay windows let a lot of natural light into this space and the white walls reflect it back into the room.
The brown wood tones, combined with the different tints of beige in the textiles and the subtle black accents result in a subtle decor that looks cozy and inviting.
The simple gallery wall above the sofa provides the interior with extra texture and details and the black, brown, and beige tones match perfectly with the surrounding materials.
A simple yet elegant kitchen with a beautiful round dining table
In the middle of the space, surrounded by the kitchen, you can find a small round dining table in dark oak, combined with light oak dining chairs on a textured wool rug. This color combination adds a natural touch to the black-and-white kitchen and ties the layout of the kitchen cabinets together.
A bedroom decorated in matching black, brown, and beige tones
The minimal white bedroom design is decorated with a mixture of subtle textiles in the curtains, throw pillows, and bed sheets, combined with different wood tones and subtle black accents to make this minimal setting more interesting.
I love the way the Margin pendant from New Works, which also hangs in the living room, comes back in the bedroom decor as well.
A simple hallway with the coat rack placed inside a niche space
The hallway shares the same color palette as the rest of the apartment with brown tones in the chair and rugs combined with black accent pieces in the accessories. The coat rack and shoe shelf are placed inside a niche in the wall, which looks like the perfect spot for hiding your shoes and jackets away.
An elegant bathroom with brass fittings
The simple white bathroom with subtle white marble tiles on the wall has eye-catching brass fittings that transform the bathroom design and make it special.
The elegant soft beige aesthetic in this small one-bedroom apartment is so powerful. The wall paneling finishes the look in a very nice way and a variety of custom-built closed storage modules combined with open shelving makes it easy to keep the place clean and organized.
The living room and adjacent bedroom have a soft beige wall color that pairs up nicely with the hardwood flooring and the white furniture and soft furnishings which are carefully selected for the apartment.
The dark wood kitchen adds a bit of contrast to the setting, while also matching the warm and elegant color palette of the rest of the interior design.
A round dining table with boucle poufs and a seating bench
The small dining area in this living space is my favorite element in this elegant apartment. The open shelving built into the wall provides a perfect spot for books, accessories, and a portable table lamp, while also adding extra depth to this corner of the room.
The black and white art print stands out against the beige walls, the beige stone dining table, and the white soft poufs around the table.
A soft beige aesthetic in the sofa area
The white Togo sofa fits perfectly with the soft beige aesthetic in the living space and the beige fabric art pieces above the sofa fit perfectly within the beige wall paneling on the beige living room walls.
A glass coffee table looks light in small spaces since they don’t obstruct the view and in this case, it also adds an elegant touch to the sofa in combination with the black and white Linnea Anderson blanket*.
A dark wood kitchen with beige stone countertops and white upper cabinets
The dark wood kitchen cabinets stand out in stark contrast with the rest of the light beige color palette that is present throughout the apartment. By combining the dark wood fronts with white upper cabinets and a white glass cabinet, however, a lighter look is achieved.
The beige stone countertop matches the kitchen design and the rest of the apartment, while the chrome hardware adds a modern element to the mix. The two-tone kitchen design works perfectly in this elegant apartment.
Soft beige and white built-ins for a finished look
In the hallway, you can find another elegant built-in solution combining a closed wardrobe with an open shelving module where small accessories are on display.
I think the rattan room divider in this tiny apartment stands out so much against the white walls and white floors in this interior design. Room dividers make small-space living more comfortable and allow you to create different sections inside the same room for different functionalities.
The natural wood, leather, and rattan tones add a subtle, natural look to this all-white interior and give it a cozy and inviting look and feel.
A rattan room divider separates the sleeping area from the living room
You can use various divider types to separate functional areas in the same room, yet a folding screen is one of the easiest ones, as you can pick it up and place it in the right spot. The rattan folding screen matches the natural palette in the interior and gives it a subtle boho touch that works nicely in combination with the low wood bed frame.
A bedroom section in natural tones
The bedroom section is defined by the materials in the folding screen and the bed frame. The warm tones in the art print above the bed, the mustard tones in the bedding, and the rattan accessories in the window finish the look off nicely. At the same time, the sheer white curtains and the white sheepskin behind the bed accentuate the white surfaces in the interior.
A beige and brown palette in the sofa area
The living room section follows the color palette of the rest of the space, yet here some darker wood and black tones are included to add a bit more power and contrast to the setting. The beige fabric sofa, combined with the off-white area rug works nicely with the white flooring and the green plants add a beautiful fresh touch to the setting.
The brown leather armchair is a true focal point in the living room section and it has a prime spot in front of the window.
The doorway toward the kitchen is closed off with a simple white curtain.
A wardrobe behind a curtain
Curtains with ceiling rails are great ways to fence off different sections in the same room. This white curtain hides away storage space located close to the bed.
A white kitchen with a round dining table
The modest white kitchen is paired up with a beautiful round dining table and natural wood Series 7 chairs. The wood tones and accessories match the color palette in the adjacent living space and make the kitchen cozy and inviting.
This beautiful Swedish apartment with light floors and white walls has the most beautiful selection of vintage living room furniture pieces spread throughout the interior. I love the way the different wood tones stand out against the light palette of the interior color palette and add character to this beautiful home.
A simple white kitchen with an antique glass cabinet in the dining section
The simple and minimal kitchen has push-to-open white kitchen cabinets and white marble countertops for a clean and subtle look that blends into the white walls and white flooring of this space.
The layout of the kitchen is spread over two walls, with an island section that also functions as a separator between the kitchen and the dining area right next to it.
The kitchen dining area has sheer beige curtains hanging on subtle brass curtain rods, a material that also comes back in the impressive chandelier hanging above the dining table.
The vintage glass cabinet adds a deep wood tone to the color palette, which really stands out against the white backdrop of the walls and kitchen elements.
Vintage living room furniture contrasts with the white color palette for a cozy effect
The adjacent living room shares a similar color palette as the kitchen, with white on the fabric sofa, walls, large area rug, and in the details. The vintage living room furniture adds beautiful contrasting elements to the space, while the vintage crystal chandelier adds an elegant touch.
Subtle black and white art prints on the wall complement this black, white, and brown color palette present in the living room.
A vintage sideboard adds a warmer wood tone to the mix, which has been decorated with black and beige tints for a cohesive look.
A built-in wardrobe around the bed with an oak inlay
The bedroom is equipped with a beautiful built-in wardrobe around the bed that allows for a combination of storage space above and next to the bed to save space. The blue bedroom walls complement the light grey wardrobe in a nice way and the oak inlay finishes the look off perfectly.
Not that the oak headboard hides away the cables from the wall lamps, which is such an elegant solution.
A simple hallway with a beige wall color
The hallway connects the different rooms together and has a subtle beige wall color that makes the carefully selected elements in natural tones stand out. The standing mirror in the hallway is great for checking your outfit before you go out, yet it also reflects daylight into the hallway, which barely has direct natural light coming in.
A small kitchen design is one of the key elements to consider when designing a small apartment and it’s most likely also the most challenging one. If you are not blessed with a large sociable space, however, you have no reason to fear, because a tiny kitchen can be just as amazing as a large one!
Below, I have listed the most inspiring small kitchen ideas offering different solutions for layout and planning depending on the type of space you have available in your studio apartment.
Storage opportunity is a key consideration for any kitchen design and it’s just as important as countertop space. Those two main functionalities are crucial elements to take into consideration in any kitchen design, yet you might want to pay extra attention when planning a kitchen on a tiny surface.
A tiny kitchen fitted in a small space
A niche or nook space in your apartment is great for fitting a small kitchen. This beautiful white kitchen with black countertops is finished off with white tiles on all the walls of the niche space, which is such a beautiful finish.
The textured walls create depth and add interest to awkward corners like his one. The open shelving on the wall ensures a lighter layout look, while a the same time offering extra storage spots.
When you have many doors or windows to work with, you’re not left with a lot of wall space meaning you are in need of small space solutions, no matter how much square footage you have available. In this one-bedroom apartment, the kitchen module had to be fitted in between two doorways.
By using lower kitchen cabinets only and working with stainless steel open shelving on the top half, a light look was created that leaves this living and dining space feeling spacious.
Create more counter space by wrapping the kitchen around a corner
Even though this kitchen is slightly larger and not exactly tiny, it does have easy-to-apply small kitchen ideas you want to keep in mind. By wrapping the kitchen layout around the corner, you provide more space for food preparation and for keeping appliances.
By selecting white cabinet fronts, countertops, and a white backsplash, the design will bounce light back into the room, creating the illusion of a bigger space. Since no upper cabinetry has been added to the layout, a light look is achieved for a larger space that is made cozy with the soft beige wall color on the walls.
Tighter spaces tend to benefit from custom-made solutions to maximize space and that’s exactly the approach you can see on display in this one-bedroom apartment.
By placing all cabinetry on one wall, more room is created for high cupboards that form a long row of storage that can be used for both kitchen and hallway purposes.
The all-white cabinets and countertops function as reflective surfaces for the daylight coming in, creating a bright kitchen that highlights the natural materials in the accessories, table, and flooring.
Interior designer trick: work with different materials
This little space underneath the roof has been used for a beautiful two-tone kitchen including the sink and stove. The walnut cabinet fronts are a focal point in the open space and are complemented with light grey upper cabinets for a light palette.
The larger cupboards on the other wall are placed next to the bedroom entry, optimizing the little space available in this attic home to the fullest.
A small kitchen fitted underneath a sloped ceiling
Attic spaces often require creative small kitchen ideas because not only do you have to overcome little space, but you also have a sloped ceiling to work underneath – such a challenge!
When designing a small kitchen underneath a sloped roof, you should always place higher cupboards where vertical space is available and place less used items in the more awkward spots.
This small kitchen is made in a light and natural color palette with grey countertops, which fits nicely with the rest of the space. I love the way the wooden spoons and the chopping board complement the light oak kitchen cabinets.
Work with lower and upper cabinets in a niche space
The floor space of this apartment has been used optimally by including the kitchen in the niche space. The niche is filled with both lower cabinets and wall cabinets for ample storage space.
Since the small kitchen fits inside the niche completely, a dining area with a small dining table and two chairs could be placed next to it, all in the same small space.
A Tiny kitchen in a Small Space that used to be a Closet
This is one of those small kitchen ideas that prove you can build a cooking area in any small space available in your home. What used to be a closet has little to no floor space and an asymmetrical floor plan.
This narrow galley kitchen makes use of the niche spot available to create more space for moving around freely, yet in addition to this, the oven module has been placed towards the other side for easy access.
Rather than working with just a long and narrow format for the layout, all sides are used for functionality. Like this, you can make a smaller space work for you in an optimal way.

Extend the counter space into your living area with a small kitchen island
Countertop space is often an issue with small kitchen ideas, as the sink and stovetop will already take up a large portion of your counters.
By expanding your kitchen planning into the entire room, you create just the right amount of countertop space combined with an extra seating area for dining as well.
The kitchen walls are covered completely with white tile, which reflects the natural light coming from the window beautifully in this narrow space.
Replace cabinet doors with a curtain for a light and playful look
The large window in this compact space takes up a lot of kitchen space, yet you can always use the window sill as a surface to save space in a small kitchen.
By replacing the doors of the lower cabinets with a green linen curtain, the look of this small kitchen design is lighter and more playful.
Enlarge a small kitchen by using the corner of your living space
Have a niche space available that’s too small? You can always extend the kitchen out of the borders of the niche and create a dynamic room layout with smart storage that makes use of the available space.
By placing the small kitchen in the corner of the room, the room layout is intact, resulting in a very natural flow in the floor plan.
A U-shaped kitchen is ideal for when you have an open floor plan. This layout also functions as a separator between functional areas and you can use tiling and an open shelf as extra elements to help visually distinguish the kitchen from the rest of the space.
A U-shaped layout can also maximize storage since there are quite a bit of lower cabinets involved and you even have the opportunity to transform the other side of the kitchen into a breakfast bar.
Combine the use of vertical space with open shelving
When you have tall ceilings, it’s great to include tall cupboards that extend up to the ceiling for extra storage space just like in this bright white kitchen with black countertops.
The floating shelves don’t make the layout appear too heavy and they are great for storing cooking utensils, small appliances, and spice jars.
Let the kitchen design come back in the hallway storage space
This compact kitchen has been extended into the hallway area of the apartment to maximize space. The open-plan layout uses light grey cabinet fronts and countertops on both walls, as small spaces tend to work nicely in a neutral palette.
Note that this small kitchen is fitted with a small stove top for only two pots, ensuring more countertop space is available for other items.
Tiny kitchens tend to make use of any awkward space available and make the most out of it. In this case, this white kitchen has a corner layout to facilitate ample storage space on a small surface and spread over two walls.
The white cabinets paired with the white tiles on the backsplash and the white countertops make the kitchen space appear larger.
A niche space in the living room turned into a kitchen to maximize space
This white kitchen with black countertops fits perfectly within a living room niche space and features both upper and lower cabinets with a contrasting black countertop resulting in a modest yet contrasting look that matches the adjacent living room.
A small kitchen inside of what used to be a walk-in-closet
This is probably the tiniest of the small kitchen ideas on this list as it includes just the essentials to be able to fit into the small niche space left where there used to be a walk-in closet I assume. The walls of the kitchen space are painted in the same wall color as the rest of. the studio apartment for a cohesive effect.
A tiny grey kitchen fits inside a small walk-in closet
This is most likely the tiniest of the small kitchen ideas on this list, as this smart and functionality-packed solution fits inside of a small walk-in closet. The grey kitchen cabinets with gold hardware are arranged in a small corner layout, making use of both of the walls in this small area.
The bottom cabinets are paired with open shelving on the top paired with an upper cabinet for a tiny oven. If you need to fit a kitchen in such a small space, you must pick out a small stovetop and a small sink just like in this example.
A tiny light grey kitchen with open shelving above the doorway
This is one of those small kitchen ideas that truly is adjusted to the space. The high ceilings in this studio apartment are great for including tall cupboards that can provide the entire apartment with storage space and the open shelving above the doorway transforms the kitchen into a bookshelf as well.
The small dining space in front of the kitchen is great for eating dinner, yet it also provides the kitchen with extra workspace, as the countertop space is quite limited.
A small kitchen fitted in a niche space underneath a sloped ceiling
To maximise space underneath the sloped ceiling in this attic apartment, the light grey kitchen cabinets are fitted inside of a niche space in the wall. The area under the sloped ceiling is great for open shelving to finish the layout of the upper section.
This is probably the tiniest of the small kitchen ideas on this list, with a two-tone color palette that resembles the wall paint as well. The upper cabinets are light grey, paired with glass front cabinets right below the ceiling.
The bottom cabinets are dark grey, with a butcher block countertop offering limited counter space in between the small sink and stovetop.
Make a Tiny Kitchen feel more Spacious with a Mirror
One of the tiniest small kitchen ideas on this list consists of a small cooktop and sink inside a niche space. To make the space feel less cramped, a mirror is applied above the countertop, allowing for natural light to be reflected, making the space feel larger.
This beautiful attic apartment has very steep sloped ceilings, which makes the planning of the interior design and layout a bit more challenging, yet by carefully selecting the furniture pieces and their position, the design works nicely in the space.
The light grey attic kitchen has two modules on each side, met by a glass partition fencing off the lowest part of the ceiling used for displaying plants. The glass partition also comes back as a custom solution for separating the bedroom from the rest of the space.
A light grey kitchen underneath a sloped ceiling
The light grey kitchen has been built underneath the sloped ceiling with upper cabinets starting from where the ceiling height allows it. The light grey kitchen cabinets are paired up with white marble countertops and brass hardware.
The area underneath the roof where no upper cabinets can be placed is filled with open shelving so this surface can be utilized as well.
The area next to the kitchen module where the ceiling touches the floor is too narrow to have a function. Because of this, the interior designer of this beautiful attic apartment placed plants behind a glass partition so this narrow space can still be enjoyed.
The oven and fridge are placed in a step-like layout which could be fitted underneath the angle of the ceiling.
A small rectangular dining table fills the area in between the two kitchen modules, which are connected by the black metal framed glass wall.
Next to the kitchen module, you can find another glass partition with a swing door that leads up to the bedroom.
A small living room in a niche space of the attic apartment
The living room is fitted in a niche space next to the kitchen, making it crucial to only select the necessary furniture pieces. The sofa is placed at an angle and is combined with a beautiful light oak dining table and a big plant to complete this cozy setting.
A small bedroom underneath a sloped ceiling
The bedroom is decorated in a minimal and simple way, with beige tones and a black accent wall lamp that resonates with the black metal of the glass partition.
A round mirror reflects the daylight coming in from the window and the open shelving provides some storage space away from the sloped ceiling.
A bathroom with glossy white subway tiles
The simple bathroom design features chrome fittings combined with glossy subway tiles for an elegant, timeless look that works nicely in a small space.
A staircase hallway with a window bench in front of the round attic apartment window
When you live in an attic apartment where not all areas can be optimally used, you have to get creative. In front of this beautiful round attic apartment window, the owners of this place created a custom seating bench with storage underneath it from which the view can be enjoyed.

When you live in a small space or studio apartment, loft beds can be great to optimize floor space and utilize the vertical space available to ensure all needs and functionalities are met within the square footage available. In this post, I have collected my favorite loft bed ideas, each one as creative as the next.
While small spaces are obvious candidates for the integration of a loft bed, they can save space in any type of apartment. You can use a loft bed to create a guest bedroom, a cozy nook for reading, a kids’ room, or for a home office spot.
A loft bed with integrated storage underneath the stairs
This beautiful studio apartment with white walls has an integrated loft bed on top of the small kitchen, which provides a second level for sleeping in this small space. The custom staircase to access the loft space has been fitted with white cabinet doors so this empty space can be utilized as storage.
I think this is one of those loft bed ideas where every bit of square footage has been used up in a smart way, turning a small room into a functionality-packed private space.
A pink studio apartment with a loft bed on top of a wardrobe
The loft bed in this pink living room is built on top of a walk-in wardrobe. The loft beds’ wall is painted in the same pink color, integrating it nicely into the space and creating a cozy spot next to the sofa for hanging art prints and displaying accessories.
A wooden loft bed with integrated storage space beneath
This is one of the smartest loft bed ideas in the list in my opinion, as it makes such clever use of the space available to integrate ample storage space. The loft bed integrates nicely with the kitchen module in the living space, as it’s made out of the same plywood material,
On the top level, you can find a cozy bed with integrated bookshelves in the wall, while the area on the bottom of the elevated bed integrates a rotating wardrobe and a combination of open and closed storage modules.
Pack Your Loft Bed with Functionality and Storage Opportunity
This functionality-packed loft bed idea includes a spot to sleep on top, with storage in the DIY staircase and a TV mounted on the side to complete the living room. The space underneath the bed is turned into a home office, which offers a perfect place when you need extra privacy to work from home.
The style and color palette of the space are a true inspiration as well, with the white walls making the room appear spacious and the neutral colors warming up the palette and creating a cozy atmosphere.
A beige studio apartment with an integrated loft bed
All the walls in this small space are painted in a subtle beige wall color, including the additional wall created when constructing the loft bed. This unified wall color integrates the loft bed nicely with the sitting area and I love the way the white ladder and the white details in the bed frame stand out against the beige wall color.
Loft beds tend to work best if you can work in a space with high ceilings, yet if you don’t have high ceilings to work with, you can reduce the height of both levels for a more natural look.
The sofa area beneath the loft bed is low, yet a very cozy place has been created with a built-in bookshelf and a space for the TV. Imagine this space without the extra room created by the loft beds’ integration: you would need to compromise the sofa for the bed to be able to fit a small bed in the living area.
This beautiful loft bed takes advantage of the area underneath the custom staircase to the fullest, integrating a wide plethora of additional storage options. The area underneath the loft bed includes a dining table, which can also be used as a desk during work hours.

A loft bed on top of the kitchen
On top of the white kitchen built-ins in this apartment with black walls, you can find a wall-to-wall loft bed that integrates an entire bedroom with storage opportunities.
Even though this is one of those loft bed ideas for which you would definitely need a contractor and a lot of ceiling height, the result opens up the living space in such a crucial way, allowing both levels to be able to take advantage of the daylight coming in through those large windows.
Make your loft beds’ paint color blend in and your ceiling stand out
This beautiful mint green custom solution includes a desk and wardrobe underneath the actual bed, optimising the rather small room. The custom structure is a real eye-catcher in the space. By painting the sofa in a soft pink color, the room gets extra character and the bed frame stands out even more.
The bed frame of this loft bed is simple, as the white walls on each side have been used to support the bed itself. With the addition of a simple ladder, a second level is created for the bed, allowing the space underneath to be used for a walk-in-closet.
Another one of those loft bed ideas that are constructed with the help of a contractor, opening up the space and allowing the area above the dining area to be used as an additional bedroom space.
All walls, floors, and ceilings are painted white in this stylish apartment, including the loft bed stairs and banister, which gives the apartment a larger appearance and ensures the light coming from one side of the apartment is reflected on every surface.
The sleeping area floats like a cool fort underneath the living room ceiling and is accessible through a minimal white ladder. A bunk bed like this is often used in a kid’s room, however, it also works well in small studio homes with high ceilings.
I think this is one of the most interesting loft bed ideas on the list, as the support of the bed is attached to the ceiling, giving it a floating impression in the room.
A niche space in the room features a plywood loft bed that is attached to the surrounding three walls and therefore doesn’t need a supporting pillar. The wood ladder matches the plywood construction perfectly and the double mattress seems to fit the structure perfectly.
Underneath the bed, you can find a cozy home office section. Since you are sitting down at a desk most of the time, this type of room functionality is perfect for a lower ceiling area.
A bright white studio home with a duplex level for the bed
This crisp white studio home has a high ceiling, allowing for a loft level for the bed right above the doorway towards the kitchen. The bedroom section on top of the loft even includes a TV and the area underneath the loft is the perfect spot for a desk.
The minimal white staircase fits with the minimal structure of the loft bed and the bottom of the loft includes spotlights.
A loft bed with storage underneath the staircase in a small room with high ceilings
If your room is small, yet you have impressive ceiling height to work with, just like is the case in this space, a loft bed might be the perfect solution to combine functionalities in your space.
In the example below, you can see a custom loft with a creative staircase that also functions as a combination of closed and open storage space for the room. The area underneath the loft bed is turned into a spacious desk area and the custom woodwork structure is painted in the same color for an integrated effect in the space.
Add The Bedroom on Top of the Bathroom and the Kitchen
On top of this corner kitchen, you can find a loft bed with a railing that matches the other materials used in the space. The kitchen is constructed on top of the upper cabinets for an integrated effect and the daylight coming from the large window brightens up both the bedroom and the cooking space.
Finish a white loft off with oak wood details for a stylish effect
This loft bed example goes from wall to wall over a doorway, freeing up space for a wardrobe underneath. The main structure of the bed is painted white to blend in with the walls. The ladder, custom storage, and railing are made out of elegant oak wood to make them stand out.
In this beautiful studio home example, the floating loft bed is attached to one side of the room next to the kitchen, leaving enough ceiling height for a full-size kitchen next to it. The storage cabinets underneath the loft bed are used as a staircase, perfectly combining two functionalities.
While this entire Swedish apartment is styled and decorated to perfection, it’s the terracotta accent wall in the kitchen dining area that stands out to me the most. The rest of the space has been decorated with a mixture of greige, beige, and grey wall colors complemented by a wide array of vintage furniture in different wood tones.
A kitchen dining area with a terracotta accent wall
The layout of this beautiful galley kitchen is slightly awkward, with a hallway-like layout that leads up to the window where you can find a small dining area. This section of the kitchen gets so much attention because of its terracotta accent wall, which is so apparent compared to the white and wood color palette in the kitchen.
The simple wall shelf with brackets above the dining table was painted in the same color as the wall for a tone-on-tone look, making the elements on the shelf stand out in a nice way. The black Marseille wall lamp from Nemo Lighting stands out in this beautiful setting and the small round dining table fits perfectly in front of the window.
An off-white kitchen finished off with wood tones
Since the terracotta accent wall takes up all the attention when looking into the kitchen, the kitchen design itself has a more modest color palette. The combination of the off-white kitchen cabinets paired up with the wood countertop and the wood hardware warms the space up, while the stainless steel adds a modern touch.
The warm wood tones in the kitchen materials pair up nicely with the white-soaped hardwood flooring and the combination of white and beige walls.
A cozy greige living room with different wood tones
The living room has a greige wall color that warms the interior design up in a subtle way and makes the beautiful white crown molding on the ceiling stand out. The combination of different wood tones in the vintage furniture pieces spread throughout the living room makes for an interesting mix in the palette.
A grey bedroom with a dark grey wardrobe
From the greige living room, you can peek into the bedroom through two beautiful wing doors. I love the combination of the greige living room walls with the grey walls in the bedroom. The two spaces work very nicely together and complement each other’s color palettes.
The dark grey wardrobe pairs up nicely with the grey wall color and the grey bar cart next to the bed that functions as a bedside table complements the palette nicely as well. The mixture of beiges and yellows in the textiles and artwork contrast nicely with the cool undertones in the grey paint.
