I think you can rarely go wrong with a shaker kitchen, it usually looks so classy and timeless and fits wonderfully well in a turn-of-the-century home like this Swedish apartment. The warm sand color of the cabinet fronts works very nicely with the color of the chevron floor and the soaped oak wood of the dining table and chairs. The marble countertop and the chrome details give it a fresh touch to the beige kitchen cabinets and I love the big green plants on the window sill, soaking up all the sunlight coming through those beautiful windows.
The color palette in this bedroom is making me happy. The blue walls are subtle, yet fresh and the yellow chair just adds a playful touch to this look The bedroom decor is quite modest, apart from the yellow chair and I like that there is a place for sleeping, storage, and a spot to get some work done. I think the wooden desk goes so nicely with the blue of the walls and the yellow of the chair and I love the way the yellow storage box on the desk matches the palette.
This beautiful turn-of-the-century Swedish home is decorated delicately, with subtle industrial touches throughout. I love the big black bookcase with the ladder which goes over the entire living room wall. It adds such a statement to the living room and is the perfect spot to display decorations.
The layout and planning of the flat are very open, with a curtain separating the guest bedroom from the living room and an open-plan kitchen with a big wooden dining table, black bentwood chairs, a subway tile backsplash, and two big industrial lamps as a light source in this area. The door next to the kitchen, which I assume is the entry to the bathroom, has custom-made shelving above it, which makes for optimal use of this space.
The bedroom and guest bedroom are decorated with soft colors and classy elements and a small office space is placed in the guest bedroom as well. I love the subtle green wall color in the bedroom, which complements the beige in the bedlinen and beige linen curtains* and contrasts nicely with the brass wall lamps.
I think this Swedish home with white waxed floors and white walls looks so fresh and inviting. The main furniture in the living room was picked in light or white shades, with the smaller pieces like the armchair, coffee table, and armchair in a variety of wood colors that warm up the interior look a lot. The color in this space comes mostly from the green plants spread all over.
I think the art prints work really nicely in this space and I love the arched tall mirror which reflects the space. The small home office in the hallway is a really nice touch as well, it fits perfectly in this corner which would otherwise be lost anyways.
This turn-of-the-century Swedish home has great features to begin with, which makes it an easier home to decorate, but I think the styling and decoration really are next level. The warm grey, green and pink wall colors in the different rooms are different from each other, yet complement each other in a really nice way. I love the way you can look into the other rooms and see the different wall colors.
The living room has been painted in a dark neutral grey, which contrasts so nicely with the white fluffy area rug and the white linen sofa. The neutral palette of the sofa area is enhanced by the big green plant next to the window and the cognac leather armchair, which matches the color of the linen pillowcases* in the sofa.
The dining room has been painted in a subtle green wall color, which has a very subtle and sophisticated effect in combination with the oak dining chairs. I really like the vintage table which has been used as a sideboard in combination with the art print arrangement on the wall.
From the living room, you can look into the bedroom, which has been painted in a warmer grey or greige paint color. The bed has been made with a white linen bedskirt* and a beige striped duvet cover (sold out, similar here*) which matches perfectly with the color palette of the room. The paper shade lamp adds a touch of burned orange, which mimics the color palette of the adjacent living room.
I love this small yet ultra-cozy living room with grey-green walls. The white linen sofa (it’s the Ikea Soderhamn with a Bemz custom cover*) and the white linen curtains* really stand out against this wall color and the big and light area rug lightens up the sofa area even more. This green-gray living room look works well because of the lighter soft furnishings I feel.
The big mirror above the open shelving reflects the daylight coming from the windows and makes the space look bigger, which is a great solution for smaller rooms like this one. The other side of the room has a beautiful gallery wall that adds a lot of character to the space. The vintage cupboard next to the doorway adds a darker touch to this living room and I love the big rice paper lamp hanging in the middle of the room.
More light green living room ideas to take a look at
Take a look at the gray-green living room in this blog post which looks fresh and inviting. While this living room also makes use of light colors in the soft furnishings, the color goes more into the sage green direction, which makes it fresher.
The gray and green living room in this blog post combines deeper green walls with grey soft furnishings for a more dramatic look which can easily be achieved with darker colors. The dark green painted living room sets the perfect stage for the decorations in this space.
An all-white space can be tricky to style, as it can easily look clinical, so introducing textiles and soft textures is a must to add coziness and make the room look inviting. This beautiful white living room has been decorated with a velvet light grey sofa, combined with a light area rug and a mixture of linen pillowcases* on the sofa. The different textiles, the cork on the cabinet, and the texture in the art piece all add to the overall look of this room.
While the living room is completely white, both the kid’s room and the bedroom have elements of blue, which add a cool touch to this home. The bedroom has a wallpaper with blue flowers (the pattern isn’t my favorite but I love the fresh touch it adds to this room), which combines so nicely with the white elements on the bed and the fresh green leaves from the branches on the side tables.
I love the styling and decor in every single corner of this home. The floor plan of the space is very open, yet since different wall colors and wallpaper are used in different areas of the home, little areas of interest have been created that look different from each other, yet work together in harmony. The sage green color on the walls makes me think about another project by the same stylist, which you can see here. In this apartment, Linnea worked with a mint green bedroom wall, also worth a look.
The round wooden dining area with the white Series 7 chairs works nicely with the beige curtains* in the background. The kitchen has a muted green tint on the cabinet fronts, which is made interesting with beautiful wallpaper in the hallway in a darker olive green tone.
When looking into the living room, however, a fresh mint green wall adds a fresh touch to this interior. I love the way the art prints in neutral colors and the green tree in front of the window just pop out of this wall color. The vintage desk next to the sofa adds a spot to get some work done, while also adding character to this look. The vintage wood of the desk matches perfectly with the distressed wood on the original double interior doors leading up to the bedroom.
The bedroom has been painted in a greyish-blue color which adds yet another interesting touch to the color palette of this space. The white linen bed skirt* and the pleated bedside lamp* add a romantic touch to this look and I love the long peg rail on the opposite side of the bed.
I love this small studio home which has been decorated with a variety of neutral colors in addition to lots of textures and textiles for an interesting and cozy look. The sofa in front of the window looks like it has been framed by those sheer beige linen curtains* which soften out the daylight and give the space a warm glow. The sofa and area rug in light grey combined with neutral colors and some green plants freshen up this warm glow coming from the windows and the mixture of linen pillows* in the sofa adds so much coziness to this area.
The other side of the studio room is used for a bed and a small home office area, which both match the overall neutral palette of the room. I love the way the art prints on the wall have been used to separate the areas from each other and create small divisions for each functionality in the space, which always works great when decorating a small studio home.
I think this kitchen is so characterful and eye-catching. Even though it’s a typical shaker design, the combination of the mint green color of the fronts, the white marble tops, brass details, and the visible bricks through the wall treatment turn this kitchen into something extraordinary.
High cabinets are used on both sides of the kitchen providing enough storage space, while the kitchen island and the center of the kitchen with the sink consist out of low modules only, which makes the design look a lot lighter. I love the wood open shelving above the sink and the integrated ladder which is needed to reach the top cupboards. This reminds me of one of those library ladders.
While the kitchen island provides space for two people, there is a larger dining table on the other side of the kitchen in front of the window. I think the contrast between the straight lines of the kitchen layout and the round dining table works so nicely, while the wood of the table visually matches the details in the kitchen design as well.
