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.

A living and dining room with a burned orange couch in the middle

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 living room gallery wall includes both neutral and orange tones that match the color palette of the sofa section.

A bedroom with an asymmetrical floor plan and a built-in wardrobe

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.

Subtle contrasting black tones in the bedside tables and the art prints add extra depth to the color palette.

The white fabric pendant adds a soft look to the bedroom interior.

The stainless steel on the countertop also comes back in the material finish on the Moccamaster coffee maker that fits the kitchen look perfectly.

The large kitchen island separates the cooking and dining areas from each other visually and stands proudly in the center of the large room. Other than the main kitchen module, the island is finished off with a butcher block countertop for a natural effect in the space.

A bedroom with a floral wallpaper

The bedroom has a romantic floral wallpaper from Morris Co. that is a real focal point in the otherwise scarcely decorated sleeping space.

This beautiful apartment with two bedrooms in Sweden (Styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Hendrik Linden, for sale at Alvhem) has a subtle light grey wall color throughout the floorplan, which makes the furniture and accessories stand out against the walls in a modest way.

The apartment has two bedrooms: one next to the living room, and a second one next to the kitchen. The decor of the living room is based around the white sofa and white area rug and finished off with black and brown accent pieces.

The bedrooms are decorated in a warm yet modest way, and the kitchen includes a vintage dining table that adds a lot of contrast and texture to the space.

A living room with a white base palette and black and brown accents

The white living room couch is paired with a beautiful textured area rug in an off-white color. These white elements, along with the sheer white curtains in front of the window and the light grey living room walls, make for a perfect color palette from which the darker tones stand out.

The black coffee table, the mixture of textiles on the couch, and the green plant on the window sill all add a beautiful contrast to the living room decor.

The vintage dining table transforms the look of the basic kitchen and adds a cozy area in front of the windows. The rough texture of the wooden table pairs nicely with the industrial touch of the metal chairs, while the careful selection of ceramics on the table and on the window sill add an elegant touch to the setting,

The color palette of the second bedroom pairs nicely with the one in the kitchen dining area, for a smooth transition from one space into the other.

A guest bedroom with a vintage desk

Just like in the rest of the interior of this apartment, the color palette is based around a natural base, with contrasting black elements in the textiles, lighting fixtures, and art prints, with a subtle touch of green brought on by the plants.

A white-painted vintage desk makes for a great home office section in the bedroom. The bedroom wall has a subtle wallpaper, which makes the beautiful objects on the desk and the peg rail on the wall stand out.

The small kitchen island is paired with two elegant black bar stools that add contrast to the setting. The island adds countertop space, yet it also provides a visual separation between the kitchen and the living area.

The hardware material also comes back on the Moccamaster coffee maker with chrome details and on the kitchen faucet, which is a nice touch.

The black metal and leather in the bar stools also come back in the impressive Drop chandelier from 101Cph and in the leather details of the dining chairs. The impressive fig tree by the window adds a fresh touch of green and the warm wood tones in the vintage dining room set add a warm element to this beautiful living kitchen.

The blue-grey ceiling with green undertones adds an impressive focal point in the guest bedroom while accentuating the intricate details in the crown molding. The elegant blue and green tones used to finish the decor of the space complement the color of the ceiling perfectly.

The custom wardrobe in the main bedroom is built in a smart way, including a floating desk in between the main storage modules and a place to hang the TV on the wall. I love this smart combination of different functionalities and it also provides lots of storage space for the apartment.

The rest of the bedroom decor is kept minimal to complement the functional design of the space.

The light grey kitchen cabinets are finished with a white subway tile backslash on the wall, brass hardware, and a butcher block countertop to add a natural touch to the otherwise cooler color palette.

The kitchen includes a walk-in-pantry with wall shelving, which is painted in the same wall color as the kitchen, making it a smooth extension of the space.

The kitchen window is fitted with white curtains that stand out against the sage green wall color. The dining table is paired with light wood bentwood chairs and a classic chandelier adds a whimsical touch to this area.

The wall behind the kitchen table has a custom oak wood peg rail that is perfect for hanging kitchen utensils and decor items. It finishes off this dining area in the most perfect way I think.

A combination of beige tones in the cozy living room

While the grey and green tones in the kitchen add a subtle fresh touch to the apartment decor, the living room is decorated in warm beige and brown tones that result in a warmer and cozy atmosphere. The greige living room walls are paired with a warm beige fluffy area rug and natural wood tones in the coffee table and armchair.

The different patterns of the textiles in the throw pillows on the beige sofa add a beautiful texture to the setting, which is reflected in the big round mirror next to the window.

On the other side of the living room, you can find an Ikea Ivar cabinet with a dark stain. The dark brown of the cabinet pairs perfectly with the greige wall color and the brown also comes back in the art print hanging above it.

The white double interior doors that lead towards the kitchen are a gorgeous historic element in the space and they frame the view from the living room into the kitchen nicely.

The TV is mounted to the wall right next to the historic fireplace, paired with an elegant bench to finish the corner.

The white walls in the bedroom paired with a mixture of of subtle textiles and carefully selected objects result in a minimal yet cozy bedroom setting.

A mixture of subtle beige and grey textiles on the bed add an interesting texture while keeping a modest color palette.

In a niche space between the bedroom and the walk-in closet, a home office is created with the use of a simple white floating desk that fits into the space. While this spot might not be comfortable enough to work from home full-time, it’s perfect to take the sporadic meetings or to work from home part-time.

Renowned Danish design agency Norm Architects has recently completed the renovation and modernization of a Village School house originally built in 1721 with respect to the old traditional building style, however completely modernized on the inside.

The interior is tailored to a busy modern-life family with three children. The flooring throughout the entire house is cast magnesite, paired with bright white walls and oak paneling that connects the material choices of the different floors and functional areas.

A spacious living kitchen finished with oak and grey stone

The bespoke kitchen by Kolon stretches from one room to another, seamlessly fitting into the architecture, while also including all functionalities necessary in a family kitchen. The kitchen is built entirely in oak with brass knobs and a great stone countertop that resembles the outdoor nature.

The large round dining table fitted with oak Wishbone chairs provides a great spot for the family to gather and have meals together. The material selection of the dining area complements the one of the kitchen design perfectly.

A modern staircase with integrated storage functionality

The innovative staircase is designed in the same oak material that has been used in the rest of the schoolhouse. Each step is made into a cabinet door underneath the staircase, providing storage for both small and bigger items.

A minimal bathroom with clay plaster walls and oak finishes

The oak finishes that can be found in the rest of the house come back in the gorgeous bathrooms as well, however, here they are combined with beautiful clay plaster walls that add a natural texture to the calming design. The choice of natural materials accentuates the organic forms that can be observed on the walls of the bathroom, creating a soft atmosphere.

Smart storage underneath the bed

Just like in the staircase, in the master bedroom, you can find a smart and custom storage module. The area underneath the bed includes oak drawers integrated into the bed frame, ideal for storing away blankets and less-used clothing.

This beautiful loft home in Sweden (photographed by Adam Helbaoui, sold via Innerstadsspecialisten) has an impressive black metal window that provides the entire apartment with an abundance of natural light. On the other side of the loft, you can find a kitchen with a loft level on top containing the bedroom, which can be accessed by the beautiful black metal staircase next to the sofa.

The loft features a wide array of custom storage modules that were designed when remodeling this place to optimize storage and functionality on a relatively small floor space.

A living room with an impressive window and a ceiling-high custom storage solution

In the front section of the loft space, you can find the living room, which is decorated in an elegant, minimal way. The white fabric couch on top of the large white area rug paired with the white walls provides a beautiful light base palette that is enhanced with black accent pieces to complement the majestic black metal window.

The impressive ceiling height in the living room section is accentuated by the impressive custom bookshelf that includes closed storage modules on the bottom, integrated LED lighting, a home library, and a spot for the TV. I think this is a true masterpiece in the space.

The round mirror above the sofa reflects the space in an elegant way, while the Monstera plant adds a fresh pop of green to the setting.

A minimal sage-green kitchen that continues towards the entryway

Underneath the black metal loft level, you can find a beautiful sage-green kitchen module. Right behind the black metal staircase, you can find the tall kitchen modules including the fridge and electronic appliances. These tall cupboards have a white finish and transform into an entryway storage section right next to the front door of the loft.

The sage green kitchen cabinets are paired with a matching kitchen wall color, a tick white marble countertop, and elegant metal hardware.

The beige stone dining table paired with the light grey Series 7 chairs connects the kitchen with the rest of the living space.

A loft bedroom with a natural color palette and a home office corner

The bedroom is located on the second level on top of the kitchen, right underneath the beautifully curved ceiling the building architecture provides. The grey rug that covers the entire loft floor is paired with a light grey custom hardware that fits perfectly underneath the lower ceiling.

The bed is made with a mixture of white and beige textiles and two beautiful portable lamps on the bedside tables that match the color palette perfectly.

A floating desk right next to the bedroom wardrobe provides a small spot to work from home, without taking up too much surface in this loft home. I think the desk fits perfectly in between the wardrobe and the railing, blending in with the addition of the black table lamp, black chair, and the set of black and white prints decorating the wall.

A minimal beige tile bathroom

The soft beige tiles on both the floors and the walls in this bathroom provide the space with an elegant setting from which the chrome fixtures and white porcelain stand out.

The mirror on the wall opposite the window is a great decor element in this setting and allows the beautiful daylight to be reflected back into the living room.

Light beige bedroom walls and blue accent bedside lamps

Behind the double interior doors in the living room, which subtly stand out against the light beige walls, you can find the beige bedroom, which shares the same color as the living room.

The light beige bedroom walls are paired with a color palette comprised of different beige and off-white textiles and a few wooden furniture elements to add a natural element to the setting. The two blue portable lamps add a blue touch just like in the adjacent living room for a cohesive interior design throughout the space.

The white Ikea Pax wardrobe with classic fronts fits the style of the historic interior details that characterize the apartment.

A white kitchen with a breakfast nook

The kitchen floor plan is rather narrow, yet by optimizing and including two kitchen modules and a breakfast nook, both kitchen and dining functionality can be shared in the same space. The kitchen cabinets are lowered towards a bench against the wall, which is paired with a narrow dining table to allow enough space at the kitchen sink.

The white kitchen cabinets are finished with wood countertops that come back in the wall shelf above the counter and the black hardware adds a delicate contrast to the setting.
