Setting a table can be an art in itself I think and it’s such a nice thing to do when guests are coming over. These table settings are the work of one of my favorite Swedish stylists Pella Hedeby for Duka Kitchen Life and I love the way they are clean and simple (just like my cooking), yet they have a certain character which just looks so inviting.

Sloped walls can be such a challenge to decorate, but they also have the best daylight and they make a room so cozy as well, don’t you think ? Behind these old white sliding doors, a small bedroom decorated in warm tints and natural materials is hidden and I love the placement of the small mirror above the bedside table which can be seen from the other room. The art prints match the color palette of the textiles perfectly and the darker elements combine wonderfully with the dark wood beams of the roof.

This small sunlit studio home has such a warm and cozy color palette with all the different materials and textiles in terracotta, mustard, yellow, and nude pink tints that come back in the furniture, accessories as well as in the art prints on the wall. The brown sofa stands out in this interior especially.

The bedroom is placed inside the niche behind a curtain and has been custom-built to have storage space underneath which is so important when you live in a small studio home.

I think this home is a great example that small doesn’t mean you have to make any sacrifices in terms of style.

When you live in a newly built home, it can be a little bit more challenging to add character and personality to a home and you have to work with lots of textures and materials to make the place look interesting. This newly built home in Sweden shows you a new home can be just as cozy as a turn of the century one by the use of beautiful textiles and sculptural pieces that make this place special.

The large beige fabric sofa in the living room combines so wonderfully well with the fluffy area rug and the minimal white marble coffee table. The whole look has been made more sophisticated by the curtains that go wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling. The round mirror on the way to the kitchen adds another minimal shape to the interior and reflects the daylight beautifully as well.

The bedroom has a darker palette than the rest of the home and also here the combination of textiles from the bedsheets, blankets, area rug and curtains make for a very cozy and inviting setting.

Custom carpenter solutions are always the best option if you own a home or are planning to stay in a rental for an extended period of time. Nothing beats perfectly fitting storage solutions and I think this home is a prime example of the way these custom-built modules can be an eye-catching design element in a home. 

The plywood kitchen built in an L-shaped layout must be my favorite part of this place, with the wooden cupboards matching the old hardwood flooring and the vintage Arket dining table and chairs. All the wood here gives this home such a warm look and I love that the same material comes back in the low cupboard in the bedroom and in the custom shelving in the bathroom.

The work of Anette Hallbäck is both sculptural and textural, which results in a series of artworks that fit wonderfully in a minimal interior with a beige sofa, as shown here in these beautiful pictures. I love how every piece is different, yet so similar, with the subtle changes in curves, textures, and color giving each piece a unique look.

Anette is a Swedish Artist and Interior Designer with a long-time passion for the visual craftsmanship of interior designs as well as architecture and the creative process has always been a critical part of Anette’s life. I think it’s wonderful when interior and art meet in such a great way.

Talented Swedish stylists duo Sundling Kickén just shared these amazing pictures of their studio and it’s such a great representation of their work. They renovated this small space completely and worked with a natural color palette of greys, beiges and whites, enhanced with black accents and wooden pieces. They have worked with lots of textiles in different textures to add character and personality to this space and I just love the way the little coffee kitchen flows over into a storage unit to fill up the entire wall next to the window.

I think the simple color palette of this beautiful, light-flooded, turn-of-the-century Swedish home just speaks for itself. The walls in the living room are kept white, while the furniture and textiles in this room are light grey or beige, which makes the green plants and the cognac leather of that beautiful vintage armchair stand out perfectly. 

The little corner where the bed is placed has its own little gallery wall, which separates this area of the room visually from the rest and I love that the colors in the prints match the palette of the room.

The kitchen has been painted in a very warm grey, which makes the old white built-in cabinets stand out in such a nice way. The dining table with the wooden chairs around them and the green plant in the window add to the modest color palette of this home.

I love the brightness of this contrasting living room space. I have to be honest, I’m not that big of a fan of the bird cage pendant in this particular room, but I do love the white area rug which brightens up this entire space and is combined in such a nice way with the contrasting dark grey sofa and the black and white gallery wall. Imagine this space without the white texture of the rug underneath this furniture and you would have a completely different look won’t you ?

Another great example of wall colors in an apartment playing together so nicely. I love the dark green of the bedroom peeking through from the warm grey living room. It makes the interior so much more interesting and the wall colors seem perfectly outlined by the white historic door frames.

The wall paints are also the thing that stands out most in this interior, combined with simple furniture and textiles for a calm, light, yet contrasting look. The dark green in the bedroom combines so nicely with the warm wood of the vintage pieces next to the bed and the green plants match the wall color so well.
