I love the subtle touches of beige in every single area of this home, making the interior elegant and delicate, without adding too many pink items. Both the living room and the adjacent bedroom are painted in subtle grey wall color, which is going more towards beige, which makes the white turn-of-the-century double doors and window frames stand out in a very nice way.
The beige fluffy area rug underneath the sofa makes this area very cozy and inviting, while also visually separating it from the dining area in this room. The black furniture and accessories and the green plants and flowers give a little bit more power to the beige palette in the living room and the leather armchair fits wonderfully in this palette.
The kitchen fits a small island in the middle and the beige-pink cabinet fronts fit the overall look of the apartment. I love the open cabinets on the top half of the kitchen. The black in the lamps and the leather in the bar stools link the color palette of the kitchen and living room together.
The bedroom features a little bit of pink and gold in addition to a beige palette, which works much more calm and feminine. The pink duvet cover* fits so nicely with the beige waffle throw* , while the brass in the beautiful Valerie Objects lamp makes the look of this bedroom pop.
Even though this apartment has a lot of natural light and a well designed layout, since it is a newly built, the building itself lacks some character compared to the beautiful turn of the century homes I often share here. Nevertheless, the space has been styled to perfection to add character and has been made very cozy and inviting.
The walls are painted in a very subtile grey, which goes nicely with the warm wood of the flooring, which has been largely covered by these grey area rugs to add extra texture. The round dining table with the linen table cloth* and the big rice-paper shade above it works perfectly in front of the angled wall. The lower bench next to the dining table is used for deco objects and I love that the wood tint is slightly darker, adding variety to this corner.
On the other side of the living room the sofa is placed on a large area rug and I love the combination of the cool blue elements in the print and pillow cases* combined with the beige in the furniture.
The dining area in the kitchen features a mixture of beige, walnut and black accents and I love the color palette of the bedroom as well, which is slightly warmer. The warm beige in the curtains* and the blanket on the bed* really warm up the palette in this room and I love the small home office in front of the window.
I love the grey walls in this beautiful Swedish home, which contrast so nicely with the black and wooden details in the furniture. The living room has these old built in cabinets in a beautiful wood color, which stand out so nicely against the grey of the walls and fit perfectly with the little round dining table in the living room.
The green plants throughout this space add a fresh touch to the otherwise rather neutral color palette and I love that a vintage element was added in every single room of the apartment as well: the small dining table and chair in the kitchen, the chair by the bed and the vintage office chair. Note also that a home office was created in what seems to be a walk in closet. It doesn’t have any natural lighting but it’s perfect when you need to work away from everything else going on in the apartment.
This grey kitchen with white marble countertops and brass handles and faucet stands out so much against the white floor and walls. The space is long and narrow, with cabinets placed on both sides of the room, but there is just enough space for an inviting dining area in front of the balcony window where you can sit with two people.
In the niche next to the galley kitchen, a small home office was installed and a custom floating desk was made to fit in this rather awkward corner space. A window would be nice to have here, but it’s so nice anyways to have an area to get some work done which is not the kitchen table right?
The different materials, colors, and textures in this apartment make it cozy and inviting and I think the mixture of it all is delicate yet characterful. The living room has a beautiful fluffy area rug, which adds a lot of texture to this space. The walls of the living room have been painted in subtle, warm beige-grey and I love that the beige linen curtains* add variety to this wall color. I love the effect of the velvet burned orange chair as well, it adds even more warmth to the palette. The sofa is Ikea with a Bemz custom cover in linen* and the art prints add so much personality to the wall above the sofa.
The String shelf on the other side of the living room serves as a storage area as well as a little home office and I love the combination of the wood, grey, and white of the metal shelving rails here.
The kitchen is a modest white one with a concrete grey countertop and black hardware which works nicely with the white dining table and chairs here. I like that the kitchen consists of mostly lower cupboards, combined with an open shelf above the sink for the prettiest kitchen items and a subway tile backsplash.
The bedroom has been painted in a greenish grey, which makes the white linen bedding stand out so much. I love the combination of the darker art print with the peg rail* as well. The door of the old built-in cabinet has been painted in the same color as the wall, which makes the effect of this color even cooler.
This beautiful apartment in Sweden (Styled by Emma Fischer, and photographed by Anders Bergstedt for Alvhem) features amazing wall color choices. A gorgeous olive wall color steals the show in the living room, where it is paired with a light color palette in the furniture and textiles, and a few black and brown accent tones to add some contrast.
The open-plan living room goes over into a kitchen and dining space with white kitchen cabinets, wood countertops, and black hardware that comes back in the black leather seats of the dining chairs.
The bedroom is painted in a beautiful shade of greige, from which the light bedsheets and black accent bedside tables stand out. A black home office desk provides a lovely spot to get some work done from the bedroom.
An open-plan living room with olive green walls
The olive green wall color is what stands out most in the living space. The deep muted wall color brings out the white crown molding below the ceiling and it contrasts nicely with the white-soaped hardwood flooring.
The wall color is paired with an Ikea sofa with a custom linen cover* and a white fluffy area rug adds a bit more texture to the sofa area. The sheer white linen curtains in front of the window lighten up the palette and the wood and leather tones in the armchair and the coffee table add a natural touch to the setting.
The mix of throw pillows on the sofa paired with the two elegant art prints on the wall provide the color palette with a mixture of brown, beige, and grey tones to finish off the look.
The wall that connects the kitchen and the living room is removed to connect the space into an open floor plan.
The entryway of the apartment comes out in the living room. By painting all the walls in the same color, the spaces become visually connected to each other in a nice way.
A white kitchen with black accents and wood countertops
Even though both rooms are connected to each other, the difference in wall color between the kitchen and the living room allows them to be visually separated from each other.
Two main kitchen modules are separated by a beautiful walk-in pantry in the corner. The module with the stove top is finished with a wood countertop, paired with a minimal white hood that blends into the wall behind it.
The sink module of the kitchen is finished with a stainless steel countertop that matches the faucet. The upper cabinets have glass fronts for a lighter look with subtle light wood inlays, paired with a spot for wine bottles on the side.
The side of the kitchen has an angled corner to fit in front of the kitchen window.
A greige bedroom wall color and a black home office desk
The bedroom has been painted in a dark grey-beige wall color that adds a subtly warm glow to the setting. The beige bedding and the white curtains stand out against this darker wall color and the black bedside tables add a lovely contrast to the space.
The other side of the bedroom is a great spot for a home office section using a black desk paired with a back chair. The standing mirror with the black frame matches the color palette in this corner and it makes the room appear larger.
A peg rail in the wall niche space is a great spot for hanging a selection of clothes and a hand mirror.
The white wardrobe stands out against the greige bedroom walls and matches the white of the door frame.
I think the cool grey walls work so refreshing in this beautiful Swedish home. The living room wall color is a very cool (almost blue) grey, which is warmed up by a variety of warm accents in the accessories and furniture. The sheer beige curtains* warm up the daylight that is coming through those big windows. The black in the art prints, lamps and the bentwood dining chairs adds contrast to this look and I love the big mirror at the dining table, which reflects the daylight and makes the room look bigger.
The bedroom has been painted in a warmer grey, but also here you have a beautiful mixture of cool and warm tints. The cool grey in the duvet cover stands out and the black wall lamps combine so nicely with the wooden bedside tables.
I love all the inspiring home office spaces that I see popping up in the last year, during which the majority of us have been working from home. Depending on the space available, you can create a space to get some work done and make it cozy and inviting. After all, it’s the place where you spend a consistent part of your day, so you better make it comfortable to work at right ?
I love this beautiful home office space underneath the roof, with a height adjustable desk on top of a grey area rug for extra coziness and wooden wall shelves to keep some deco items and a little plant. This looks like a wonderful place to get some work done.
I think this beautiful turn-of-the-century Swedish home has been decorated in such a nice and thoughtful way. The colors of the textiles and accessories are very subtle, yet enhance the delicate wall colors throughout the space.
The adjacent dining and living area are decorated in a more neutral color palette with grey walls in the dining room and white ones in the living room. The black furniture pieces like the dining chairs and the sofa table really stand out against the warm gray area rugs in both rooms and both the white sofa in the living room and the white table in the dining area form the perfect white canvas for the accessories. The mixture of warm-colored pillowcases on the sofa and the poppies on the dining table really stand out in this color palette.
The look of the classic white shaker kitchen with gold hardware has been lifted by the use of the pale mint wall color, which makes the space so fresh and vibrant. The kitchen accessories are perfectly picked to match this fresh color scheme and the small round dining table in front of the window works so nicely with the black bentwood chairs and the copper pendant light.
From the kitchen, you can look into the bedroom, which has been kept white as well and therefore has a calm and modest look. I like the mixture of the neutral bedsheets on the bed combined with the warm grey bedspread* and on the wall above the bed you can find my Hestar print, which adds contrast to this look.
I love how much style and character this Swedish home has. The lower level has these muted green painted floors, which combined so nicely with the white fluffy area rug in the living room and the light wooden fronts of the kitchen. All these different textures and materials make the palette of this home interesting and personal.
The dining room has a beautiful vintage cupboard against the wall, which has been painted white, matching the white dining table and contrasting with the black Flos pendant lights and a mixture of different black dining chairs.
In the living room, the soft green of the floor is combined with the white rug, a white linen sofa cover* and fresh green plants for a more vibrant look and feel.
The light oak wood kitchen combines nicely with the white tile backsplash and the black hardware, all complementing the green flooring in an elegant way.
The bedroom underneath the rooftop has been decorated with a mixture of beige and warm tints. I love the way the bed is made with the white linen bedskirt*, beige linen duvet cover* and those chequered pillow cases* for a soft yet interesting look matched by the art prints on the wall.
