I love this small studio home with lots of light coming in. By using smaller furniture, the room has many functionalities and integrates a dining area, sofa and bedroom in one.
The small, round, walnut dining table is the star of this room I think, wonderfully combined with CH24 wishbone chairs in soaped oak*.

Without painting any walls, this living room looks stylish, has lots of textures and has a cozy and characterful look. The white curtains and sofa (it’s Söderhamn from Ikea), combined with the grey area rug and the minimal white coffee table* set the stage for darker elements like the warm velvet armchair and the deep colors in the painting above the cupboard.

I love the way textures, fabrics and different materials are used to make this home characterful and cozy. The shaggy rug (I think it might be this one from Layered) does so much to the living room. It sets the stage for the accent leather armchair and the white sofa and pouf lighten up the entire palette.
The small round dining table on the other side of the living room works very nicely with the walnut wood chairs and the Wästberg Alma wall lamp. It’s placed perfectly between the kitchen and living room, wasting no space at all without making it feel too crowded.
The bedroom has a very fresh look and feel as well with the subtile yellow bedsheets* and curtains which is perfect for spring. The small office space in the bedroom works very nicely as well and is made from two Ikea elements and a worktop. A great way to create a spontaneous workspace as well if you are still looking for ideas.

This home has very simple furniture, mostly from Ikea as far as I can recognise, yet has such great style. The long and narrow living room fits both a dining table and sofa area comfortably. The oval dining table with the wooden chairs fits perfectly in front of the window and I like the picture rails that are used for displaying small art pieces.
The sofa area is visually separated from the rest of the room with the cozy area rug and the white and beige color palette has a brightening effect in the darker area of this room.
The small office space fits a daybed as well and the bedroom has a very cozy look with the combination of white and beige linen bedding* and sheer beige curtains*.

I love the warm and dark grey color of the walls in this bedroom. The darker walls have a moody yet cozy effect, which is freshened up by the green of the plant next to the window.
The Mantis wall lamp and Fogia Bollo leather armchair are real statement pieces in this room and I love the mixture of the dark grey linen bedsheets* with the linen bedskirt* and beige and black art print on the wall.

This turn-of-the-century home in Sweden was renovated so nicely with new elements like the fireplace being introduced while keeping and restoring the original wall and ceiling moldings. A true historic treasure!
The furniture that was picked out for this place is modern and minimal, with simple lines that work well with all the historic details on the ceiling. The deep window sills provide so much space for decorating and adding light sources and I love the little breakfast nook in the kitchen with the high open shelving. This is such a cozy corner.
Both the bedroom and concrete bathroom have some really nice custom-built cabinet solutions for storage and I love the way the cabinets are placed next to the bed, creating a niche headboard with wainscoting.

I live in the center of Munich and don’t have such a big apartment. Even though I’m super happy with my setup and the way I have decorated it, something that I find really challenging is the laundry area. I have a separate closet in my hallway where the washer and dryer are hidden, but it’s all the things that come with it that bother me, so I decided to do some research and share my solutions for doing laundry in a small apartment. Not all of these are space saving solutions, some are just things I find interesting for laundry in general, regardless of how much space have available.
Linn clothes rack – Number one on my list of annoying things about having to do laundry in a city apartment is the drying rack. I prefer to air dry most of my clothes but I hate the fact that the drying rack takes up almost an entire room and this for such a long time. I stumbled upon this perfect solution from Brabantia – the Linn Clothes rack – which combines a drying rack with a clothing rack and can be placed in the bedroom or hallway for hanging jackets or clothes.
Wool & Silk wash from Arket* – A mild and biodegradable detergent specifically developed for delicate textiles with natural lanolin and a wool wax that helps to protect and maintain the material’s moisture-repelling properties.
Iris Hantverk cedar wood balls* – The fragrance of the red cedar wood works as a natural pest repellent and adds a refreshing scent to your wardrobe, keeping your clothes fresh for longer.
Iris Hantverk hooks* – A versatile 7-hook rack made of birch wood which you can hang on the wall for cleaning supplies.
Guppyfriend Washing Bag* – this washing bag is a filtering solution that prevents synthetic microfibre pollution during the laundry. Created by German non-profit organisation STOP! Micro Waste
Laundry baskets from Arket* and Muuto* – when you live in a small place you probably have to use the bathroom or bedroom for storing your dirty laundry. I use the bathroom and I prefer different baskets for my laundry. They look nice together and I like that you can sort your laundry straight away.
This blogpost was created in collaboration with Brabantia, however all opinions are my own of course.
I love the metro tiles with black grout in this Swedish kitchen. It gives the soft grey fronts a more industrial look, which is made more delicate with the whiskey flask lamps above the counter. The layout of the kitchen works very nicely as well, with the tall cabinets away from the windows for a lighter look with ample storage space.
The middle of the space is used for the dining table, which is placed on a jute rug* for extra texture and coziness. The mixture of black and wood chairs works nicely here as well and I love the little String shelf* in between the two windows for displaying pretty ceramic pieces.

I love the simplicity of this all-beige bedroom. The tone-on-tone bedsheets, wall color, and black side table work very calming, which is perfect for a bedroom. The blue painting really stands out around all this beige and I love the character that these deep colors add to this calm and serene bedroom space.
The cool tones in the blue artwork contrast nicely against the greige walls and the warm shades of beige, grey, and white in the rest of the bedroom, resulting in an interesting cool-warm interplay.

Sometimes you have to find a solution and change the original layout of a space in another way than how it was intended in the first place. From the classic build in wall cabinets, we can see that most likely this bedroom used to be a kitchen.
The owners of this home repurposed this room into a bedroom and made the small area in front into a kitchen. A glass partition wall was installed to divide the two rooms. The kitchen is rather small but works in this narrow space.
I love the color combination of the textiles in the bedroom as well. The white linen bed skirt* adds texture to the bed, while the soft green duvet*, the green bedcover, and the round velvet pillows add a lot of freshness to this otherwise grey and neutral palette.
