I think the neutral color palette in this home with subtle beige walls looks calming, yet interesting with the many textures and black accent pieces everywhere. The prime spot in this home must be in front of the large windows in the living room, where the white sofa found its perfect spot. The dining table on the other side in combination with the black cupboard works very nicely there and the long mirror reflects some of the beautiful natural light coming from those windows.

The bedroom is decorated in the same color palette, also with a black cupboard and the natural light coming from both sides through these curved windows is simply stunning.

Look at this beautiful bedroom styling in this cozy Swedish home. The grey walls have a little bit of a cooler tone in them, which combines exceptionally well with the warm tints in the textiles, the accessories and the ‘Crinkled no.1’ art print on the wall (so happy to see this one included here!).

I think the white linen curtains really stand out of these grey walls as well and I love the peg rail with the linen robes on the wall.

I love the color palette of this beautiful Swedish studio home. The beige wall color fits wonderful with the dark wood on the antique cabinet against the wall, the black accents on the furniture and accessory pieces and the warm tints on the textiles. The white linen curtains that go wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling give the living room a more sophisticated look, and makes it seem like the window is bigger then it is.

In the small kitchen I love the narrow oval dining table, combined with a bench against the wall for saving space. A great way to fit a dining table in a narrow kitchen area like this one.

I have shared many beautiful kitchens from Swedish Nordiska Kök here on the blog and just want to share there new projects almost every single time because they are always so on point: from the use of materials, to the perfect layout, finishing of with a great styling, usually built in a cool home as well.

They have recently opened their first showroom just outside of Stockholm where they want to invite you into a physical version of their Instagram Account. They have set up a system with a unique code, with which you can enter the showroom without having to go into a crowded space with other customers (especially in these times this is such a great idea).

They have picked out their most engaging pictures on Instagram and recreated those kitchens in their showroom and I just can’t get enough of this idea, which is so modern and forward thinking. I would love to visit their showroom in the future and take my time to browse their beautiful kitchens.

This apartment is rather small, but it certainly doesn’t lack style or personality. I love all the art prints and accessories in this home, which finishes it off so nicely. The wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling white curtains* outline the beautiful balcony doors in the living room really nice and I love the small round dining table with the beige linen table cloth* and the black bentwood chairs.

The kitchen has been placed at the wall of the hallway. Note that the layout of the kitchen doesn’t actually fit exactly and extends over toward where the wall ends, but I don’t think this is a problem at all, plus it adds extra storage space.

A small workspace has been added to the hallway right in front of the bedroom door, by using a floating shelf as a desk and I love the String Pocket shelf* above it to keep small decor items as well. The bedroom itself has a beautiful exposed brick wall and the bed with a beautiful mixture of textiles fits exactly in this space.

A while back it was super trendy to paint bedrooms in petrol blue, which was very dark and kind of a statement. I loved the look of this but am much more a fan of these toned down blue walls in this Swedish bedroom. The muted blue wall colors are very cool, while elements like the art prints, warm beige blanket on the bed and the wooden floor add a very warm touch. This cool and warm combination works so nicely together and the style is so refreshing to see.

This light grey kitchen with white walls and floors works really nicely against the black dining table and the bentwood Thonet chairs, but what adds the most warmth to this look is the beautiful exposed brick wall in the doorway to the bedroom. I think it’s so nice that you can see the small workspace from the kitchen, but the bed is hidden behind the wall for privacy.

The layout of the kitchen works very nicely as well, with the higher cupboards and appliances on the wall facing the windows and an open shelf for displaying the prettiest ceramics and plants on the other end.

This living room with subtle beige walls looks so cozy and inviting and it’s mainly because the beige fluffy area rug adds so much texture to this space. The combination of the soft beige rug, with the rattan and dark wood of the Pierre Jeanneret chair, the colorful mixture of pillowcases, and the prints on the wall look so wonderful together. All these different colors and textures make this look interesting and personal.

Sunlight really is the best interior accessory and the owners of this beautiful Swedish home certainly are lucky with the natural light that is flowing through those big windows. The light is reflected on the white walls and floors, which makes for the perfect white canvas to decorate.

All this white can easily look clinical, but by introducing warm tints of wood, cognac leather and beige fabrics, this home looks cozy, warm and inviting. When you decorate an all white space, darker furniture and accessories will stand out very nicely. Look at the black bedside table next to the bed for example: your eye instantly goes to the legs of the table and the wall shelf above the bed blends into the wall.
