I love this beautiful turn of the century Swedish apartment with lots of natural light coming in through those beautiful tall windows. The wall colors have mainly been kept white, with the exception of a very light warm grey in the bedroom. These light wall colors reflect the daylight beautifully and makes the green of the plants and the subtile colors in the accessories stand out so much.

The cognac leather armchair and the rust tints in the pillow cases on the beige linen sofa warm up the sofa area and make it cozy and inviting. I love the vintage desk there as well and even though it would feel a little bit weird to me looking at myself the entire time while working, I think the mirror does a great job reflecting the space and the sunlight coming through the windows.

The light grey shaker kitchen with the natural countertop stone in beige works beautifully with the white soaped flooring and the round vintage dining table stands out perfectly in this palette.

The bedroom looks cozy and inviting and I love the tall mirror which can be seen from the other room. The beige and white bed linen* on the bed combined with the dark grey throw match very nicely with the wall color and the black accents in the side tables and the wall lamps.

This turn of the century Swedish home is mainly decorated in tints of white and beige which works so nicely with the abundance of daylight coming through those beautiful old windows. The kitchen and living room are made into one big area, you can still see a small part of where the wall used to be (such a nice touch and a wink to the past).

The white sofa combined with the light area rug and the white &Tradition armchair form the perfect white canvas for the contrasting black marble coffee table and the oak side table. The oak dining chairs at the dinner table match this look perfectly and the black and oak details in the kitchen complete the look in this color palette perfectly.

I think the combination of the beige and warm elements in this home like the white soaped wooden flooring and the exposed brick wall works so nicely with the blue paint color on the bedroom wall and the blue kitchen cabinet fronts.

The navy blue on the kitchen cabinets is paired up with wooden details and a very light beige wall. I think this combination of warm and cool works so nicely and the round dining table in front of the exposed brick wall is beautiful as well.

The bedroom has a muted dark blue wall, and just like the warm and cool combination in the galley kitchen, also here the cool blue is combined with warmer elements. I especially like the little vintage table next to the window which has been used as a home office desk. The bedroom wardrobe has the same color as the walls as well, which is such a nice touch.

I think the dark grey color in the living room works so well combined with the white and light palette of the living room furniture. The sheer dark grey curtains* match the wall color so nicely and I love the way the light beige sofa and the paper lampshade pop out of the darker wall.

The String shelving on the living room wall works wonderfully well as a bookshelf and also offers a small living room office spot, which so many of us need right now.

The dining table in the kitchen has been placed in front of the window in a niche, which makes it very cozy and I love the way the wooden shelf and the opal glass pendant visually make this area into its own room.

The bedroom walls have been painted in a dark muted blue color, which makes the white linen curtains* and the linen pillow cases* in white and beige tints on the bed stand out so nicely.

One of the elements I find most inspiring about a home is character and personality. When you follow trends blindly, I think a home can become so bland and neutral, which I find very uninspiring. On the other hand, I love to see homes like this one in Sweden, where you start wondering about the people who live there. 

I love the way the kitchen was built around the pipes that where there on the wall and even though this is not a design element per se, they have been integrated well on the tiled wall with the shelving. Imperfection adds personality and it’s lovely when you can work with the elements that a home provides. I love the custom glass shelving on the tiled wall, which looks light and modest.

The dining area next to the kitchen consist mainly out of vintage furniture, and I love the vintage cupboard for the vinyl player with the old wooden mirror above it. The oversized poster on the wall next to the dining table has a wow effect as well and I love the way the blue in the print adds a pop of color here.

Look at this beautiful turn of the century Swedish home. I think the light is so soft and beautiful coming through those large windows decorated with white and beige linen curtains* which soften out the harsh sunlight a lot.

The three main rooms of the apartment are connected to each other, with the dining room at the center. I believe in any space it’s important to have a cohesive style and color palette in the interior, but this is even more the case when you can see all the different rooms from wherever you are standing.

The walls of the apartment are painted in a grey that is on the cooler side (though only slightly), mixed up with a warm beige wall in the study. The cool grey is warmed up with tints of wood and warm textiles and details like the burgundy fabrics on the bed which really stand out all the way from the other side of the room.

The white fabric and paper lampshades also tie together the rooms, which is a red thread throughout the apartment. In the bedroom you can find a beautiful fabric pendant by Gong design, above the dining table I think I recognise the HAY Nelsson saucer* and the rice paper shade in the living room matches this look perfectly.

I’m pretty sure this small apartment with a beautiful olive green kitchen is the same as this small studio that I blogged about in 2019, yet the kitchen has changed colors in the meantime. I think both color palettes are beautiful, yet the olive color of the kitchen has a more calming effect together with the sandstone countertop. 

The layout stayed the same, with a cozy round dining table and a small sofa in the living room. In the bedroom, the last owners have built a bed on top of storage modules, which makes a lot of sense in such a small space. The mirror next to the bed is a great idea as well since it reflects the daylight and makes the space look bigger.

A very dark flooring like the one in this Swedish home can sometimes look bottom heavy when combined with white or light walls. In this space the walls were painted in a beautiful shade of grey, accentuating the angled lines of the white ceiling and softening the contrast with the dark flooring. The light area rugs in both the bedroom and the living room break the surface of the floor as well and soften out the look.

I love the way the art prints stand out on this wall color and in the kitchen you can find my own ‘Crinkled no.1’ art print, which I’m so happy about. The bedroom has a small home office, which is placed in the niche of the rooftop window and I love the combination of the warm textiles on the bed, which contrast nicely against the cooler grey wall color.

I love the darker grey color on the walls of this beautiful Swedish home. It gives the space a bit of a moody vibe, but also makes the simple furniture and objects stand out very nicely. The fluffy area rug in the living room adds a cozy touch to this room and I love the combination of the gallery wall and the small wooden shelf on the wall.

In the kitchen a green wall paint is combined with white tiles and a darker wall paper where the dining area is, which has a very moody effect as well.

The bedroom seems to share the same wall color as the living room and I love the peg rail with the little stool which can be seen from the other room.
