Sage green kitchen

post

There is something about this sage green kitchen in this Swedish home isn’t there? The green is subtle, yet it stands out more compared to a white, grey, or black kitchen and even though it’s quite the safe choice, it’s a little bit more daring as well.

I think the soft green cabinets go very nicely with the white tiles and I love the peg rail that goes over the entire tiled wall to hang little accessories and even a small plant. This combination is a bit more fresh than in this beautiful kitchen where the sage green is combined with a wood countertop and gold elements.

The round dining table with the black bentwood chairs fits very nicely in front of the window here as well and fits the layout of the kitchen perfectly.

If you are looking for more sage green kitchen inspiration, have a look at this blog post, where I gathered my favorite kitchens with sage green cabinets.

Turn of the century home with beautiful accessories

post

This beautiful turn-of-the-century Swedish home has a living and bedroom separated by double doors, which is such a nice element to have in an interior. The walls are painted in a light grey, which is subtle, yet it makes the old white door and window frames stand out even better. 

The textiles and accessories do the heavy lifting in terms of interior decor in this home and this has a very cozy and inviting effect. It also adds character and personality, which I always like to see in a space. Tints of rust and burned orange enhance the otherwise beige, grey, black, and white palette and warm it up a little for a more interesting look. I love how in both the living room and bedroom the striped pillow stands out on both sofa and bed.

Simple home with lots of accessories

post

The floors in this home are very nicely renovated, but apart from that, this place is rather simple, yet looks so stylings, cozy, and inviting because of the accessories and finishes used in the decor. 

The living room has windows on both sides and combines both a sofa and a daybed which makes it extra cozy. I love how the crisp white curtains stand out in front of the grey walls and the grey, beige, and natural color palette fits wonderfully well with the wooden floors.

The round dining table and chairs in the kitchen are painted vintage models, which work so well in combination with the small pendant lamp and the little gallery wall.

The bedroom must be my favorite room in this home. The beautiful warm green wall color goes very nicely with the mixture of linen fabrics on the bed and with the interesting fabric pendant.

White home with a green touch

post

This beautiful Swedish home is decorated in a vert light palette, mixing shades of white, light grey and beige with just a few contrasting touches in the green plants, the leather of the lounge chair in the living room, or the velvet pillow* on the bed.

This light palette might be boring to some, yet I find it calming and it has such a clean look, which reflects the natural light coming in from the windows. By painting the walls in a very light grey, the light furniture and accessories stand out a lot more as well and the green leafs from the plants become the eye-cathing element in this interior.

Canal House in Amsterdam

post

If you’re anything like me, you have always wanted to take a peek into these beautiful canal houses in Amsterdam. Well, this one is certainly a wonderful combination of beautiful historic architecture, combined with a modern interior.

This is the home of Thomas Geerlings, creative director of Framework. The building dates back to 1896 and is a former warehouse, which had to undergo a complete renovation. They went for a cozy look and feel for their family home, without loosing the history and industrial character of the former warehouse.

Minimal home in a natural palette

post

This beautiful Swedish home has been decorated in a very minimal way, yet still looks cozy and inviting. I love the big dining table with the oak Wishbone chairs and the fabric lampshade dangling above it and the large velvet sofa is a real statement piece in this room as well.

The kitchen has some turn-of-the-century built-in cabinets, which contrast very nicely with the clean lines of the newly built minimal kitchen on the other side of the room. The small dining table in front of the window with the wooden stools works perfectly for breakfast or a meal with just two people.

The bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, which matches this minimal decor and simple clean bedsheets let the beautiful fishbone flooring shine.

Beige kitchen with turn of the century elements

post
Off-white shaker kitchen cabinets, marble countertops, corner layout, stainless steel appliances, brass hardware

This light-flooded cozy Swedish kitchen with off-white cabinetry and gold hardware has some beautiful wall paneling and turn-of-century built-in cabinets, which are matched with a modern shaker kitchen in a beautiful light beige tint with marble countertops and a white subway tile backsplash.

The marble comes back in the dining table as well and I love the golden rail for hanging small cooking utensils. The area where the dining table is standing is rather small, but it works with the bench and stools in this spot.

Small and cozy studio home

post

I love the look and feel of this small studio home in Sweden, which has a separate bedroom, but very little space for a shared living room and kitchen. The U-shaped kitchen and sofa area are separated by a kitchen island and the sofa and armchairs fit perfectly on the fluffy area rug, which also fits this narrow space exactly.

The furniture in the living room is quite light, to contrast the darker kitchen, while in the bedroom everything is dark and moody. The walls are painted in a dark greenish grey color, which goes so nicely with the dusty pink bedsheets.

Light flooded home with brown and green accents

post

This home has a light grey and white base palette, which works wonderfully with the green plants, the exposed brick wall in the kitchen and elements like the sand velvet pouf in the living room and the black bentwood chairs at the dining table.

The dining table has the prime spot in the center of the apartment, in between the kitchen and the living room and it gets so much natural daylight. The kitchen is a basic Ikea one, which has been decorated with small details and a String Pocket shelf* for little decor items.

The velvet rug in the living room looks really soft and cozy and it also functions as a visual separator between the dining area and the living room, since the spaces just flow into each other in this home.

The bedroom has a beautiful bed made with a white linen bedskirt* and a light grey linen duvet cover* which matches the palette in this room. The wardrobe has been hidden behind a large velvet curtain* which really defines the look of this space.

As extra storage space in the bedroom, an Ikea Ivar cabinet is included, which has been painted in a subtle green tone combined with longer legs to give the cabinet extra height.

Dennis Valencia for Jotex

post

I love this work by stylish Dennis Valencia for Swedish Jotex. The all beige palette in which the products are staged looks so calming and soothing and it’s a palette that would look great in a real home as well. The warm textiles and details looks so well together in this palette and the minimal textured walls add an extra dimension to the look and feel of the space.
