A blue living kitchen paired with a pink bedroom in a historic home

post

The color palette in this gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (styled and photographed by Therese Jahnson for Historiska Hem) is unique and bold, yet so balanced at the same time. The living room is painted in a combination of light blue and a darker blue on the wainscoting and window and door frames for a cool setting that is contrasted by the warm tones in the artwork and the warm wood dining chairs.

The bold color choice in the living kitchen elevates the minimal white kitchen design with an island in the middle and the glass dining table in front of the window offers a perfect spot to gather for dinner.

The main bedroom is painted in a pastel pink shade on the walls, paired with a burgundy paint color on the wainscoting and a combination of warm wood tones and warm textiles to match the warm effect of the wall color in the space.

The kid’s room might have the boldest color palette of the entire apartment, with a mixture of blue on the walls, pink on the moldings and window frame, and a bright orange fabric canopy above the cod.

A modernized attic home with a natural oak kitchen and a glass partition

post

This beautiful modernized attic apartment (Styled by Yngfalk interior, photographed by Mia Borgerlin for Historiska Hem) features gorgeous curves in the ceilings where the windows are and a modern natural oak kitchen with limestone countertops and a matching backsplash.

The living kitchen includes a dining table in between the kitchen space and the sofa area. The guest bedroom that lies right next to the sofa area is separated from the rest of the space by a glass and metal partition that is custom-made to fit the sloped ceilings of the attic home.

The main bedroom has a dark grey wall color for a moody effect that is paired with a comfortable grey bed and custom oak cabinets built inside the walls. The bedroom has an impressive walk-in closet that uses the same oak wood as the rest of the apartment.

Both the bathrooms in the apartment feature limestone finishes, which add a beautiful natural effect to the modern bathroom designs.

The natural oak kitchen cabinets paired with the limestone kitchen countertop and backsplash provide a natural touch to the crisp white walls and natural hardwood flooring in the apartment.

This stylish Swedish home (Styled by Studio Rydman, photographed by Lina Östling for Historiska Hem) has white walls and a beautiful, natural color palette with a combination of carefully considered design classics and contemporary pieces in the living room with herringbone hardwood flooring.

The small white bedroom has white-painted hardwood flooring, making this tiny space feel bigger than it is.

Sage green living room walls and a dark green bedroom

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Henrik Linden for Alvhem) has a combination of sage green living room walls, with dark green wall color in the bedroom. The fact that both rooms can be seen from each other, makes this effect of the two greens even more impressive.

The living room has a neutral color palette in the decor pieces and furniture, accentuating the beautiful and elegant sage green color on the walls. The sofa area has an off-white textured area rug that visually separates this area from the rest of the space, which includes a small dining area in front of the window.

The bedroom is painted in a dark green wall color, which accentuates the historic white doors of the walk-in closets on each side of the bed.

Dark green living room walls and dark wood kitchen cabinets

post

This beautiful Swedish flat (Styled by Bon Interior, photographed by Fredrik J Karlsson for Bjurfors) pairs a unique dark green wall color in the living room with a two-tone kitchen design pairing different kinds of dark wood tones with brass hardware.

The dark green wall color in the living room adds a unique dramatic touch to the space, which is paired with a white fabric sofa and a white dining table. This combination of light and dark results in a beautiful contrast in the space.

The dark wood kitchen features a kitchen island in the middle of the room, which separates the kitchen from the dining area. The bedroom with white walls has a very minimal appearance, with a white wardrobe built around the door to optimize the storage space inside the apartment.

Greige kitchen cabinets paired with a dark grey bedroom

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century home in Sweden (Styled by Yngfalk interior, photographed by Mia Borgelin for Historiska Hem) features a gorgeous corned layout kitchen with greige kitchen cabinets and an island separating the kitchen section from the rest of the open-plan living space.

The modular sofa on top of a textural area rug fills the other side of the space and finishes off the kitchen look perfectly.

The bedroom has a dark grey wall color, which adds a bit of a dramatic effect to the interior and it allows for the curved beige headboard and the mixture of blue and orange textiles to stand out in a powerful way. The walk-in closet is painted in the same color as the bedroom and an antique mirror reflects this space in a majestic way.

The asymmetrical layout of the living space is fully utilized by a corner kitchen layout with high cupboards on the left side and a lower module including the sink and stove against the wall. The kitchen island in the middle offers more countertop space to the kitchen, yet at the same time it also does a great job of separating the kitchen space from the living section.
