I think this is such a beautiful turn of the century home. I love the beige palette with black and accents, which works very calming yet adds contrast to the white walls.
The kitchen seems to be the center of the apartment, with a beautiful matt black kitchen island that stands out even from the other room. The black island is combined with high white storage cabinets against the wall and a beautiful vintage dining table in front of the window.
The beige palette comes back in both the living room and bedroom, which makes the look of this home very coherent. The hallway doesn’t get so much natural light, but because it has been painted white entirely, including floors and a large mirror was added to the wall it actually still looks bright.
This mostly white Swedish home is far from boring if you ask me. I think the gallery wall in the living room works very nicely and adds a personal touch to this otherwise calm and modestly decorated space. I love the mixture of vintage and modern art prints combined and the gallery becomes even more impressive because it reaches from the sofa onto the ceiling.
The bedroom would be the only room in this place that has a darker color on the wall, making it a bit more cozy and moody. The grey walls work very nicely with the dark wood bentwood chair and the mixture of muted colors on the bed.
This dark and moody studio home has been fitted with a black kitchen and a glass partition with a black steel frame to separate the bedroom from the living area. Behind the glass partition on the bedroom side, dark grey linen curtains* are installed to be able to darken out this room and to get some privacy.
The kitchen and living room are small, yet the sofa and the small round dining table fit perfectly in those spots and the layout of the kitchen has been utilized to have enough storage space with cupboards going all the way onto the ceiling.
I love the touch of pink in the duvet cover* which can be seen from the entire studio and stands out so much against all the dark colors. It softens out the otherwise dark grey and black palette a little.
Every year Swedish concept store Artilleriet shares their Christmas inspiration and each year (have a look at their inspiration from 2019 and 2018 as well, they hit the mark every single year) they make me want to get the box of Christmas things out. These pictures make me want to get a tree, light all the candles in my home and bake some Christmas cookies. Those ornaments are just so quirky as well, all available in their online store.

Another cozy and inviting home in Sweden, in a turn of the century building again, which automatically adds character. The mainly beige and grey color palette works very nicely together and I love the cozy sofa area on the large beige area rug combined with a gallery wall in matching colors.
The white, round dining table works very nicely with these light wooden chairs and fits perfectly in that area. The floor lamp combined with the prints on the wall makes for a simple, yet powerful decor.
The cozy yet minimal bedroom can be seen from the living room and I love the beige and grey color palette coming back in the bedsheets connecting both rooms. The beige linen curtains* going from wall to wall seem to frame the little home office area right in front of the window, which is a nice touch.
Swedish concept store Artilleriet has recenlty opened a bigger store in Gothenburg and it’s full of inspiration. The store seems to be set up in different living rooms, perfectly curated and made to inspire the customers for their personal homes.
Artilleriet is a personal project of the owners, who often get inspiration for their handpicked products on their travels. They are always on the lookout for items that are stunning to look at, have high functionality and have an interesting history or craft and design behind it.
This beautiful minimalist bedroom has been made cozy, characterful, and inviting with mostly neutral tones and a few dark tones combined with warm elements. The white walls of this beautiful bedroom reflect the natural light coming in from the windows and complement the white-washed wooden flooring resulting in a modest elegance with the focal point above the bed.
Eye-catching lighting in a minimalist bedroom
When you leave the walls white and work only with a few muted shades in the interior design, you can be slightly bolder in the lighting design. The Benitier silk ceiling light from Gong is the perfect example of a lighting fixture that’s also a point of visual interest and a true masterpiece addition to a perfect minimalist bedroom. On the side table next to the bed you can find a felt lamp made by Swedish Studio Lampent which complements the gray palette around the bed so nicely.
A vintage desk in contrast with the minimal space
The dark wood of the vintage desk really stands out next to the sheer curtains (available here*) that filter the daylight coming in. The restrained palette of the grey textiles on the bed comes back at the desk with the beautiful grey office chair.
Crisp bedding for an airy feel
The bed is decorated with a grey linen duvet cover with a subtle stripe, and a mixture of brown and beige throw pillows in the same color family as the art print. The muted tones of the textiles combined with the impressive autumn branch result in a serene space and a great example of modern minimalism that still looks cozy and inviting. The grey wool area rug turns this minimalist bedroom area into its own little space, by visually separating it from the rest of the room.
Artworks as the focal point above the bed and vintage desk
The clean lines, minimalist vibe, and relatively monochromatic color palette make this minimalist bedroom into a very serene space, yet also minimalist bedrooms need something special: a focal point that immediately grabs your attention when you come into the room. At the bed, this is the beautiful artwork in warm colors and the same effect is achieved above the vintage desk as well. Other than these two artworks, the minimalist feel has been kept with fairly empty walls.
The living room of this beautiful Swedish home is bright and white, enhanced by the light wooden flooring and the contrasting black accents in the furniture. This apartment has two dining tables, one in the living room and one in the kitchen, both in front of a large window, which would make it hard to pick where I would have my coffee in the morning.
The kitchen has a minimal shaker look and I love the match between the grey cabinets and the warm grey color on the kitchen walls. The turn of the century doors and windows really stand out against this wall color and I love the way the small wallpapered office space comes peeking through. I think this wallpaper really makes a statement and adds character to this home.
The bedroom is painted in a cooler grey, which is warmed up with the dark, dusty pink duvet covers and the beautiful Japanese rice paper pendant. The TV on the wall is nicely integrated into an art wall, which makes it less visible.
I love the cozy vibe in this apartment decorated in tints of grey and beige for a cozy and inviting effect. The living room has a cleaner color palette with white walls and grey furniture. The fluffy area really adds a cozy touch to this room and the black accents in the furniture together with the green Monstera plants look interesting in this otherwise grey environment. The autumn branch is a really nice touch and I love the hanging wardrobe rail as the perfect solution for a small hallway storage system.
The dining area in the all grey kitchen looks very inviting and I love the combination of the vintage dining table with the folded pendant light and the classic Borge Møgensen chairs.
The bedroom is decorated in a warmer color palette with the warm grey walls combined with the dark grey bedcover. The rustic peg rail really stands out nicely on the wall as well.
A Turn of the century home naturally has this way of making everything look cozy, yet a newly build home needs a lot more effort to achieve the same results. This doesn’t mean however that a cozy and inviting atmosphere can’t be achieved, on the contrary.
Look at this beautiful Swedish apartment for example, where beautiful wall colors, accessories and textiles are combined for a cozy look that creates character and style.
The cozy sofa area works very nicely with the linen fabric cover, the mixture of pillow cases and the velvet pouf on the light area rug. The round mirror above the sofa reflects the light coming from the windows, which brightens up this corner. The round wooden dining table that stands in the middle of the kitchen and living area contrasts very nicely against all the grey in the kitchen and I love the combination of the different Thonet dining chairs.
The bedroom has a warm beige color palette, which is warmed up even more by using a dusty pink duvet cover. The combination of beige and white linen curtains works very nicely on the window as well.
