Other then the beautiful and majestic turn of the century ceilings, windows and wall pannelling in this Swedish home, I’m absolutely in love with the black fireplace that seems to be the center around which the entire room is planned.

A fireplace is always such a cozy element in a home, but this one is especially made for gathering around considering its position in the room and the beautiful marble details, which stand out so nicely against the light color of the walls and flooring.

I think this is such a beautiful kitchen. The deep blue color of the cupboards contrasts so nicely against the lighter countertop and the white walls and since the blue is so dark, it also has a bit of a dramatic effect that is enhanced even more by the black wishbone chairs around the dining table.

The layout of the kitchen is planned out very nicely as well, with the kitchen island in the middle and enough space for a large dining table on the other side. The somewhat weird niche, which can often be found in turn of the century buildings, has been filled up with a glass panel cupboard, which is a nice touch as well.

As you might have read here on the blog before, I’m a long-time fan of Danish Montana Furniture, a Danish manufacturer of modular furniture that can be customized according to your needs and is made to order in one of the 30 new colors designed by Margrethe Odgaard.

They recently released these press images of the bathroom collection and this concrete bathroom with pastel accents and brass faucets just really spoke to me. The Montana bathroom collection consists of big and smaller elements, which can be customized in any of the 30 colors.

I think this studio home in Sweden looks simply magical. The all-white floors look so clean and fresh, yet the warm grey walls soften everything out so nicely. The glass panel wall divider between the sleeping and living area works well for separating the two areas, but the glass also lets through the light, which is both functional and pretty to look at.

The beige, grey, and natural color palette of the furniture in the living room matches this white and warm grey room perfectly and the black dining table in the kitchen brings a welcome touch of contrast.

I have a serious weakness for round dining tables and even more for pretty antique ones like in this beautiful Swedish dining room. I don’t know if it’s the chairs not being in two lines, or the fact that everyone faces each other, but I certainly prefer a round dining table over a rectangular one for smaller spaces.

The spot here in front of the window is just perfect for this table as well, with a pendant hanging in the center of the table to have a light source exactly where needed and to ground the dining table into the room.

Beige palettes have really been popular in the last few months and if combined with the right textures and accent pieces, they can be interesting yet calming to look at at. I love the balanced and soft look in the living room of this Swedish apartment for example, where the bigger furniture is all white (an easy choice, which is also future proof if you ask me) but the textiles and accessories used are in a beige palette which softens out the look of this space. I love the combination of the beige* and white* linen curtains in front of the window that soften out the daylight. The warm textiles and fabrics on the pillow cases and the big beige art piece on the wall enhance this palette even further and the black armchair and dining room chairs add a bit of a welcome contrast to this setup.

The all white galley kitchen has been finished of with wooden accessories and also here the black dining chairs are coming back for a touch of contrast. I love the open shelf above the countertop as well where the glasses and bowls are kept.

The bedroom is probably the most modestly decorated room in this home with the white linen bedsheets*, beige throw* and beautiful art piece above the bed being the main decor elements here.

Danish design brand Ferm Living just opened its doors to a new showroom in Copenhagen, where everyone can come and shop and take a closer look at their designs. The building was originally constructed in 1777 and serves as the perfect historic location for displaying its collection.

I’m always a fan of their collections and the way they present their products at fairs, in their catalogs, and in their old Home in Copenhagen. I think this showroom is no exception from this pristine sense of styling, combinations of colors, and materials, not to mention the emphasis on the historic details of the building.

I can’t wait to visit their new space, so far the bathroom and the kitchen are my favorite spots as far as I can tell from these beautiful pictures.

Forest green might be an uncommon color for kitchen cabinets, but I think it works wonderfully in this space. The upper cabinets are white for a lighter look and the green goes so well with the hardwood flooring and the wooden worktop. The forest green kitchen cabinetry is very saturated, yet because of the combination with neutrals, it’s the sole focal point in the space. You can see a similar effect with a mint green kitchen here.

The height cabinets are only planned on the wall opposite the window, which was a great choice I think. The other wall has been decorated with art prints to make it more personal and I love the plants spread throughout the room which complement the green color of the cabinets so nicely. The palette of this two-tone kitchen comes together nicely.

I wouldn’t go for a pink wall color very easily myself, but always love the soft glow it has in rooms like this, combined with other pink colors like the curtain or terracotta items. The curtain is a great divider as well when you are working with one room for the bed and living area for example. It visually separates the two areas and in this case it also complements the wall behind it perfectly.

Love how balanced out this kitchen looks in both terms of layout and color palette. The L-shaped layout of bottom cupboards works nicely in this corner, while still allowing ample space in front of the window for this beautiful round dining table with the Wishbone chairs in oak.

The String shelf above the kitchen cupboards is perfect for small items and the peg rail on the other side of the kitchen doesn’t take up a lot of space, yet still adds a little something to this wall.
