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.

An impressive historic fireplace and green kitchen walls

post

This turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by Livin Deco, photographed by Jonas Berg, for sale via Stadshem) has an impressive light grey historic fireplace, which adds a beautiful and unique touch to the otherwise minimally decorated living room. The bedroom and living room are connected by beautiful white double interior doors that allow you to look from one room into the other.

The basic white Ikea kitchen is enhanced with a bold green wall color on the kitchen walls, which gives this space a characterful touch. The deep tone of the green color also makes the white historic details of the building stand out in a lovely way.

The bedroom includes a small antique home office desk and the bed fits perfectly in this small and narrow space in front of the bedroom window.

The main focal point in the living room is the impressive light grey porcelain fireplace that takes up almost an entire wall and stands out against the white living room walls. The rest of the decor is selected in neutral colors, with a few black accents standing out of the light color palette.

The large cream area rug adds a light tone to the hardwood floor, from which the black leather stands out even better. The wall above the sofa is decorated with a vintage painting, which adds a lot of character to the space.

You don’t often see glossy black kitchen cabinets that work well in a space, however, the combination of the matt black wall and the high-gloss treatment on the cabinets in the space looks very interesting. The antique painting on top of the kitchen adds a beautiful warm touch and the vintage table in front of the kitchen works perfectly as a kitchen island.
