This beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden (styled by Linnéa H. Manaberi, photographed by Frederik J Karlsson for Bjurfors) has an eye-catching kitchen with dark grey cabinets and an impressive tile backsplash that goes all the way up to the ceiling.

The living room has an open floor plan with a dining and sofa area. The beige color on the walls also comes back on some of the furniture pieces, which results in a calm and tranquil look from which the black accent furniture pieces stand out.

The bedroom has dark grey walls, which contrast nicely with the white and beige textiles on the bed and the neutral color palette in the accessories.

The dining area features a large table in front of the window, paired with contrasting black dining chairs for an impressive effect.

Salmon living room walls paired with a green bedroom

post

This small apartment in Sweden (for sale via Stadshem) has a subtle yet intriguing color palette. A subtle salmon paint color in the living room is paired with a bold pink wall in the hallway and a modest yet fresh color in the bedroom.

The living room has a soft warm glow from the daylight that is reflected on the warm wall color. The furniture pieces and decor have a neutral palette that complements this warm look perfectly. The black dining table is the most contrasting piece in this setting.

The fresh green bedroom is decorated in a neutral palette as well. The beige and brown tones in the textiles and art prints add a few warm tones to the fresh wall color and the blue desk adds a unique touch.

Sage green walls and a limewash accent wall in the bedroom

post

This beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden (via Alvhem) has an open-plan living kitchen that connects to the light-flooded living room. The color selected for the living room walls has a dark sage green tone, bringing out the warmth from the exposed brick wall in the kitchen and dining area.

The dining area connects the kitchen with the living room and the wall towards the kitchen has been opened to create a spacious open floorplan. The simple white kitchen has partly exposed brick wall elements, which add a unique element to the space.

The bedroom has a grey limewash accent wall, that stands out from the living room. The rest of the bedroom, including the wardrobe, is painted white, for a lovely contrast in the space.

The sage green living room walls bring out the white crown molding underneath the ceiling and the light hardwood flooring. The living room decor has a mixture of grey and brown tones for a warm look that contrasts nicely with the cool undertones in the wall color.

The wall in between the kitchen and living room is partly removed, creating a doorway with exposed brick on either side. The dining table stands underneath this opening and connects both areas.

Next to the kitchen doorway, there is a small space for a TV on the wall, which is perfectly located opposite the sofa.

A white kitchen with an exposed brick wall

The simple white kitchen with wood countertops is fitted in a rather awkward layout with the rounded wall in the space. The exposed brick wall adds a unique effect to the look and offers a warm element to the color palette.

The hallway is rather small and doesn’t have any direct natural light coming in. A large mirror on the wardrobe doors reflects a bit of daylight coming from the kitchen and it also makes the space look bigger than it actually is. Great trick.

post

This beautiful open-plan apartment in Sweden (Styled by Studio Rydman, photographed by Frederic Boukari for Historiska Hem) has a modern grey kitchen planned out in a corner layout. The kitchen is separated from the kid’s bedroom with a non-bearing wall with a window. This way, the daylight can flow into the kitchen space as well.

The kitchen is connected to a dining area and through glass doors, you can walk through the living room into the bedroom. All rooms are connected in one open-plan layout, yet since they all have different wall treatments, they look distinctly unique.

The living room has a blue wall color, while the bedroom is covered in a bold black and white striped wallpaper. Through the glass doors, you can look from one room into the other and the different color palettes can complement each other.

A dark oak kitchen in a beautifully renovated attic apartment

post

This gorgeous modernized attic apartment in Sweden (for sale via Alvhem) has white walls, a white-soaped hardwood floor, and dark oak support beams. The dark oak kitchen cabinets match the wood tone on the support beams and stand out against the light hardwood flooring.

The open living kitchen features a large kitchen dining area and a sofa section in a spacious room with sloped ceilings. A niche space with an exposed brick wall is turned into a cozy seating area, while another smaller niche in front of the window is made into a home office spot.

The small bedroom features a bright white wardrobe, with a custom open shelving section made out of the same wood as the kitchen cabinets. The entryway features a similar kind of storage solution, tying the apartment’s material palette together in a lovely way.

The beautiful dark wood kitchen cabinets stand out against the white walls in this attic apartment. The kitchen goes floor-to-ceiling, highlighting the sloped roof in the space. You can find the doorway leading up to the bedroom in between the two kitchen modules.

In front of the kitchen, you can find a beautiful oval dining table paired with smoked oak dining chairs just a few wood tints lighter than the kitchen cabinets. A niche space in front of the window is used for a home office spot with a beautiful view over the rooftops.

The dark wood kitchen cabinets are finished with beige limestone countertops and a modern chrome faucet. The countertop material comes back in the backsplash as well for a finished look.

Small and subtle wood hardware adds a minimal and elegant touch to the kitchen cabinets. Note that the kitchen counter continues into the niche space next to the window, utilizing this rather awkward attic layout to create more countertop space for a coffee machine.

A greige shaker kitchen and beautiful red tones in a cozy Swedish flat

post

This gorgeous flat in Sweden (Styled by JosefssonLjung, photographed by Alen Cordic for Nya Kvadrat) has a wonderful greige shaker kitchen that fills the entire side of the living kitchen. Since the shiplap backsplash is painted the same greige color as the cabinets, the kitchen has a strong presence in this room with white walls.

The kitchen dining table with the red dining chairs stands out against the greige kitchen backdrop. This red accent color is carried over into the interior color palette of the rest of the apartment, where red tones pop out in every single corner.

The bedrooms are decorated subtly, with white walls and a mixture of red and pink tones taking over the color palette. The apartment door comes out straight into the living kitchen, which made it necessary to work with a hallway storage section behind the sofa.

The shaker kitchen with greige cabinets fills the entire side of the living kitchen. The corner kitchen layout with both upper and lower cabinets in an L-formation ensures lots of storage space, while the absence of upper cabinets above the sink makes the layout appear lighter.

A greige kitchen with a shiplap backsplash, a butcherblock countertop and chrome hardware, red dining chairs

The greige cabinets are paired with chrome hardware and a beautiful natural wood countertop brings out the warm undertones in the paint color. The right side of the kitchen is filled with an open shelving module that goes from floor to ceiling, which is an ideal spot for cookbooks.

Light grey walls and subtle decor in a historic flat with light flooring

post

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (styled by Grey Deco, photographed by Frederik J Karlsson for Alvhem) has a balanced color palette and subtle decor. The light-soaped hardwood flooring and natural palette of the interior fit perfectly with the light grey wall colors picked out for each room.

The light grey wall color in the living room makes the white crown molding underneath the ceiling stand out beautifully, accentuating the impressive ceiling height. The white couch and wall rug create a cozy seating area by the window and the big dining table on the other side of the living room fits a large group of people.

The bedroom and living room are connected and share a similar interior palette. The light grey wall color used in the bedroom has a slightly cooler undertone, which complements nicely with the warmer palette in the adjacent living room.

This cozy flat with beige walls and a warm color palette (Styled by Clindholm design, photographed by Therese Jahnson for Historiska Hem) has a layout that pairs a lot of functionality on a small surface.

The open-plan living room includes a sofa area, dining table, and a kitchen with walnut cabinets that are custom-fitted on a small surface. The combination of upper and lower kitchen cabinets in the kitchen niche spot allows for an optimal combination of countertop space and closed storage.

The small bedroom includes a walk-in closet and the entryway of the apartment is fully packed with custom storage solutions as well.

post

This small open-plan apartment (Styled by Mabel Market, photographed by Alen Cordic for Nya Kvadrat) consists of two rooms, with the kitchen in the middle of the layout. The shared living and sleeping space has a light grey wall color, which brings out the muted purple color of the velvet couch in a wonderful way.

A beige curtain separates the sleeping and living space and the corner layout wardrobe adds more visual separation between the two areas. The neutral color palette in the art prints, furniture, and accessories perfectly complements the room.

The small light grey kitchen is paired with a round dining table with bentwood chairs and the room on the other side of the open-plan kitchen has an eye-catching black wall color.

This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment with white walls in Sweden (sold via Entrance Makleri) stands out because of the impressive home library that is built around the doorway between the bedroom and the office space. The bookshelf spreads over the entire wall and includes the double interior door.

The interior decor of this apartment is modest, with natural materials standing out against light wall colors. The living room features a historic fireplace with brown tiles that set the tone for the brown tones featured in the living room decor.

The kitchen is built in a somehow uncommon layout that pops out of the kitchen floor plan and allows for more storage drawers on the side that faces the dining area. Both the main bedroom and the guest bedroom are decorated in a similar color palette, with a few vintage pieces that add a unique touch to the place.

The brown porcelain historic fireplace in the living room is complemented by a beautiful mixture of beige and brown tones in the furniture pieces and textiles. Even though the doors are painted white, the door frames are kept in their original wood tone, which matches with the wood tones in the furniture pieces.

From the living room, you can look into the home office space, which has a natural palette that complements the one of the living room.

The home office room features a small vintage desk in the middle of the space, paired with a custom white bookshelf that is fitted around the doorway that leads up to the bedroom. A vintage glass cabinet in a warm wood tone also functions as book storage.

The vintage desk lamp and accessories add a unique character to the home office spot, while the abstract art print on the wall adds a beautiful color palette.

A kitchen layout that flows over into the dining room

The layout of the kitchen is quite uncommon, with a floor plan that continues through the doorway and into the dining room. This allows for more drawer space and the additional counter space on the dining room side is used for a beautiful selection of accessories.

The dining area features a round dining table in the middle of the space, paired with oak dining chairs. The window seat is decorated with a combination of pillows and must be a great coffee spot.

If you have the luxury of too much space in your apartment, you can always pair two armchairs with a table in the middle, and just like that you have a cozy spot to read or have coffee when you have guests over.
