I love the combination of warm and cool tints in this home, combined with contrasting black and dark wood furnishings. The living room has been painted in a cool grey, which is warmed up by the use of the beige linen curtains*, a combination of linen pillow cases in warm colors* and the same warm tints in the art prints on the wall. 

The white linen sofa and beige area rug are combined with a coffee table and lounge chair in black, which makes them very nice accent pieces and I love the picture rails on the wall next to the small bistro table. These ledges are great for creating an ever changing art wall and they are very narrow, which makes them suitable for areas without a lot of floor space that still need something special on the wall.

The kitchen itself is very dark with those black cupboards, but the same beige linen curtains lighten up the dining area in front of the window. The round dining table here has a beige linen table cloth matching the curtains and the lamp centred above the table visually separates this area from the rest of the kitchen.

The bedroom has the same cool grey and warm beige color combination, which is enhanced even more by the velvet beige area rug, the mustard linen bedsheets* and the beige blanket*.

I love the color combinations and textures in this cozy Swedish bedroom. The beige linen curtains* combined with the green and red plant in the window sill and the black wall lamp work very nicely together for a warm yet contrasting look. The round mirror on the other side of the room reflects the light coming from the windows, making everything lighter, which is a great trick.

The bed is made with a combination of a terracotta duvet cover*, a mixture of grey, nude pink and white linen pillow cases* and a white bedskirt* for a textured look.

This cottage home in Harleston, Norfolk was recently designed by  Studio Gabrielle. The medieval building has been reimagined with luxurious warmth and thoughtful sensory experiences for a cozy setting that lets the historic details of this cottage home shine. The original textures on the walls, flooring ceilings and wood beams are combined with delicate accessories and interior pieces for a mixture that is both elegant and respectful towards the history of the building.

This gorgeous cabin is the latest work of Finnish Studio Johanna Laajisto. Wood is the main material used on both the exterior and interior, which is common for a cabin, but there is something about the elegance of these wide oak plank flooring, combined with the warm grey on the walls and the grey marble stone used for the kitchen worktop that looks sophisticated, delicate and high end. 

Like most Finnish cabins, there is a sauna in the cabin as well. Both the bathroom and sauna are tiled with a deep red tile in a beautiful herringbone pattern, which goes exceptionally well with the concrete wall covering and the pine wood.

This is the beautiful home of Johanna Måwe in Sweden, featured in Plaza Interior magazine. which has such a beautiful combination of sculptural elements, turn of the century architectural details and fine textiles and textures for a soft look with both bright and dark areas.

I love the round sculptural dining table with the &Tradition Formakami pendant* in the kitchen. The floor to ceiling linen curtains* add texture to this area and the warm grey wall color adds softness.

The living room looks very bright, with the white linen sofa (It’s the Ikea Söderhamn with a Bemz custom cover*) combined with the beige velvet area rug and the glass coffee table. The round mirror on the wall reflects the light even more, which has such a great effect in this space.

I like the color combinations in this beautiful Swedish home. The muted green, grey, and beige wall colors are rather modest wall colors, yet in combination with each other and with the blue velvet couch, they have a bold effect.

I think the combination of warm and cool tints works very nicely in the living room, where the green walls and blue sofa are combined with the warm wood of the wall shelf, the bench by the wall, and the hardwood flooring. The same warm and cool combo works nicely in the dining area in the kitchen, where a cool grey wall is combined with a warm beige gallery wall and cognac leather Series 7 chairs.

I’m so impressed by this renovation concept of a turn-of-the-century home in Ukraine, done by Lis Design Studio.  The original elements of the beautiful historic building are kept and enhanced by combining them with classic furniture pieces in natural materials and with clean lines and custom carpenter modules for minimal storage opportunities.

As you can see this is a 3D visualization, but I would love to see the final result, which I’m sure will be just as amazing as these images.

A minimal bathroom is finished with a white tub and gold fixtures for an elegant effect.

Another beautiful kitchen realization from Nordiska Kök, this time in a beautiful turn-of-the-century home in the Frederiksberg district in Copenhagen. The kitchen design is a classic white shaker kitchen, but with a Scandinavian touch which makes it contemporary and minimalistic.

Tints of warm grey (Farrow and Ball’s Hardwick white, which results in greige kitchen cabinets) and white form the perfect backdrop to make the natural marble worktop shine. The high cupboards on the wall add a lot of storage space, yet by not making them wall-to-wall this still looks light and airy.

In the latest issue of ELLE Decoration DK the beautiful home of Carolina Storm was featured and it’s an amazing space with these large black windows, combined with the light hardwood flooring and a beautiful interior styled by Pella Hedeby.

I think the living room and dining area have a great loft-look with a sophisticated and sculptural vibe which is softened out by that fluffy area rug and the natural wooden coffee table.

In the bedroom, I love that the bed is covered with the wool blanket from Linnea Andersson* which gives the entire bedroom a fresh look.
