I’m not someone that naturally goes for pink or peachy colors when selecting items for my own interior, but I think this bedroom has such a beautiful spring vibe because of the colors used, it instantly lifts your mood. The burned orange and peachy bedlinen* on the bed go so nicely with the colors in the art print and the poppies next to the bed just enhance this happy spring color palette even more.
I’m usually more fond of minimal and modern kitchens, but I think this farmhouse kitchen in sage green has just so much style and character, I couldn’t really imagine anything else in this room. This kitchen for example is a perfect balance of modern yet still classic.
The lower cabinets have been painted sage green, while the upper cabinets got a cream lick of paint, which makes the overall look of the space lighter and airy. I love the way this color theme is reversed in the dining area, where the shiplap on the wall has been painted cream and the wallpaper on the top has a matching green tint in it. This has been so well thought through.
I think the color palette of this dining room is simple yet so striking. The warm beige color of the sheer curtains* in front of the window warm up the whole room. This same warm beige color comes back in the large art print above the table, which stands out so much from the otherwise very neutral palette in grey, white and black.
I love the beautiful living room area in this home especially. The walls have been painted in a soft beige wall color, which makes the white sofa and area rug stand out in a very nice way. In contrast to this white sofa, the trio of black coffee tables combined with a beige armchair and different beige textiles makes for a very interesting and cozy look which is complemented by the oak wood round dining table with the white series 7 chairs.
The bedrooms, which are on the lower level of this home have subtle grey walls which are combined with tints of beige and cognac. The guest bedroom has a small workspace as well and I love the way the cognac leather office chair matches the rust-colored bedsheets in the guest bedroom.
This home has kind of an awkward layout to say the least, with the curved wall where you have the front door to the niches in both the kitchen and the living room, but I think the furniture has been placed in a smart way to optimize the usage of this rather small space.
The basic color palette with warm and beige details works very nicely in this space. The white linen sofa in the living room combines so nicely with the oak wood of the coffee table and the beige in the big print. The small niche in front of the window has been used as a small living room home office, which is the perfect function of this area which would otherwise be wasted.
The dining area in the kitchen has been placed inside the niche as well and I love the way all the white works together here. The niche-shelf inside the wall is very cute and I love the way the green plant just pops out of all this white.
The bedroom, even though decorated in a very lovely way, has a subtle wallpaper I would definitely choose to replace but the way the textiles on the bed and the accessories work together makes up for this. Imagine a plain beige wall here and this room would be perfection.
The walls in this beautiful turn-of-the-century Swedish home have been kept white, with the exception of the very subtle grey wall color in the bedroom. The fabrics and accessories in both the dining and living room are picked out in a beige and orange palette. The dining room has these sheer beige curtains* which work so well with the cork on the cabinet and the beige in the prints. I love the lightness of the glass table as well, through which you can see the subtle grey carpet underneath.
The living room has deeper orange accents and I love the way the color of the curtain matches up with the cognac leather on the armchair and the pillowcases on the white fabric sofa. The main furniture in this room (like the cabinet, sofa, and area rug) is kept in a light palette so that the details stand out even more.
The kitchen has a completely different color theme to it with those beautiful blue vintage series 7 chairs around the white tulip table. The dining area takes away all the attention here and brightens up the modest yet stylish kitchen in grey, brass, and white marble.
The bedroom again takes on the same color palette as the living area with shades of beige and orange decorating the bed. I love the way the large wardrobe has been custom fitted around the door and the little home office area works so nicely in front of that window as well.
The kitchen in this Swedish home has some really nice features like the large old doors going up to the balcony, the little round window and the vintage cabinets that seem to be from the original kitchen many years ago. The windows, vintage elements and the old hardwood flooring are all painted white, which contrasts so nicely with the darker grey wall color.
The grey and white of the interior makes a great base palette for the furniture and interior accessories, which is quite colourful and interesting. The little niche next to the kitchen is used as a dining area and I think since it’s in this half closed space, it has become so cozy. I love the combination of the brass Bumling pendant hanging above the dining table with the red dining chairs and the colors in the art print. Combining this many vibrant colors is daring, yet spot on.
Making a new-built home (or a modernized one) feel cozy and inviting is often more challenging because the home itself might lack some interesting features and character. Not to worry though as every home can be turned into a place that is cozy, personal, and welcoming.
In this beautiful apartment especially, lots of textiles have been introduced to add textures. The combination of sheer white and beige curtains* don’t only dim out the light coming from these large windows, but they also hide away the TV which is in between the two windows, which is so clever. The fluffy beige area rug adds a lot of texture to the living room which is amplified by the dusty blue fabric sofa and the beige fabric armchair.
The long row of Ikea Besta cabinets on the living room wall adds ample storage and I love that this has been made into a feature wall with these art prints and the Flos 265 wall lamp* which also functions as a dining table lamp. The dining area itself adds some welcome contrast to the look because of the walnut wood on the dining chairs.
The empty space between the living room and the hallway has been used as a home office and even though the pink bedroom doesn’t have any natural light coming in, it has been made cozy and inviting nonetheless.
I think this small loft home is designed to perfection. The space, even though very beautiful with those large industrial-style windows, is rather awkward to decorate, yet a very functional layout has been achieved by the designers.
The kitchen was built in the area when you come in and it goes wall-to-wall, with bottom and top cupboards for optimal use of storage space. The white kitchen with black hardware goes over into hallway storage as well when getting closer to the front door. This is a great kitchen solution for small spaces. Because the kitchen is placed on the wall, this leaves ample space for a big dining table and a comfy sofa area by the window.
The bedroom, which also has a slightly awkward floor plan with these angled walls has been made into a home office as well, which is the ideal use of space of this narrow area by the window. It’s all about planning, isn’t it? The mixture of the grey linen duvet cover*, with the white and burned orange pillowcases* adds depth and character to the palette of the bedroom, even though the walls are kept white.
I think all (or mostly) beige homes can sometimes look a bit bland. This beautiful Swedish apartment though shows you how you can introduce strong features into your beige palette to give it character and style so it looks far from boring. The walls of each room are either left white or painted in a different shade of beige. The living room is painted in a more grey tint of beige, which works so nicely with the fresh green plants which brighten up the entire room. Note the large standing mirror here as well, reflecting the light and the space in such a beautiful way.
The niche next to the living room is used both as a storage space and as a little home office, which looks so cozy to get some work done. This small desk area is equipped with a shelf on the wall to keep decor and office supplies and since this space would usually not be used for anything else, it’s a great idea to turn it into a home office.
The kitchen and dining area are painted in a warmer and darker beige, which lets the white kitchen stand out so nicely. In contrast to this, you have walnut wood dining chairs that add character to this beautiful space. The kitchen wraps around a corner, which is an interesting solution perfect for small kitchen designs as well.
The walls of the bedroom are kept white, with the bedlinen and accessories in a beige palette as well to connect the bedroom to the rest of the apartment visually. What really stands out in this room though is the full wardrobe in a dark walnut wood, which covers the entire wall opposite of the bed, including a sitting area. This wardrobe is such a statement don’t you think?
