I love all the textures in this Swedish bedroom. The fabric lamp* and the long peg rail* on the wall are very simple yet striking additions to this interior. The peg rail can be used to decorate and to have your favorite clothes on display. The bed has a simple beige linen duvet* with a combination of different linen pillow cases* and blankets for a great mixture of textures.
This beautiful Swedish apartment has been decorated in modest tones and black accent pieces in the living room and kitchen for a calm and soothing effect throughout the space.
The bedroom has been painted in a dark blue wall color that adds a lot of depth to the interior, yet the real eye-catcher in this space is the DIY desk idea that fills the area by the window in the bedroom. I think this DIY plywood desk might easily be one of my favorite DIY desk ideas I have seen so far.
Two-tone walls and a grey velvet sofa in the living room
The living space has been painted in two different wall colors: white on the wall behind the sofa and on the ceiling, combined with a subtle light grey on the other walls. The grey velvet sofa and the dark grey curtains add a few dark touches to the space, which are lightened up by the light grey area rug, light throw pillows, and the white furniture pieces.
The vintage black leather armchair and the black wall lamp add a lot of contrast to the look, while the beige and grey art pieces add a subtle touch to the light grey paint on the wall.
Light grey walls and black bentwood chairs in the kitchen
The kitchen is another DIY project in the space it seems, as the outdated Ikea cabinets have been given another coat of paint and updated handles. The kitchen walls have been painted in a light and warm grey tone, which matches nicely with the light grey wall shelves above the kitchen.
The light natural wood dining table combined with black bentwood chairs on a hemp rug finishes off the kitchen look and adds a bit of contrast to the grey color palette in the space.
A blue bedroom with a DIY desk
Blue bedroom with gold accents
While the rest of the interior features blacks, greys, and beiges in a modest color palette, in the bedroom the owners of this beautiful apartment went for a bolder color choice on the walls.
The dark blue wall color adds a lot of character to the bedroom and is contrasted perfectly with the crisp white bedding on the bed. The gold wall lamps stand out nicely against the beautiful blue backdrop and add an elegant touch to the interior design of the bedroom.
A DIY floating desk painted in the same color as the wall
This is one of those easy DIY desk ideas that just really transform the bedroom space. A small and simple desk has been created out of a simple wood board (though you can use reclaimed wood as well) that is shaped so it fits the corner by the window. This DIY desk is curved on the side for an organic look that doesn’t obstruct the view out of the window.
The DIY desk is complemented with floating shelves to display a selection of notebooks and art pieces that fit this small space perfectly. Both the DIY desk and the shelves have been painted in the same color as the wall for a beautiful tone-on-tone effect.
I think it’s a great idea to fill a small niche space with a custom DIY floating desk solution and turn otherwise lost floor space into a functional desk space. Like this, you can create your own desk design that fits the space exactly and you will end up with a desk design that beats any ready-made model out there.
Since the wooden board has a lot of touch points on the wall, the desk area could be attached using shelf brackets on different sides. In case you only have one or two walls to attach to your DIY corner desk, you can always work with one or two hairpin legs or other sturdy legs to keep the design stable without having to spend too much money.
The color palette in this Swedish bedroom is so rich, yet muted at the same time, which looks so interesting. The sage green on the walls works very nicely with the brass wall lights and the oak stool next to the bed. The shelving above the pillows is painted in the same color as the wall, which makes it blend in.
The dusty pink curtains* and duvet cover* go so well with the wall color and really give character to this space. The large area rug underneath the bed adds more texture and softness to this overall look and it must be so nice to put your feed on in the morning.
I love the dark blue on these kitchen cabinets. The light wood worktop matches this deep tint very nicely and the leather handles on the doors finish this look off perfectly. The walls on the kitchen side of the room are covered with these glossy white metro tiles that go from floor to ceiling and they make for a very finished look.
The kitchen island serves as a divider between kitchen and dining area and high cabinets are only used on the wall opposing the windows so no natural light is taken away and enough storage is provided.
This is a very simple bedroom with white linen curtains, a mixture of grey linen bedding and simple looking furniture. It’s a very basis design, yet the opposing wall makes it special: the watercolor wallpaper on this wall transforms this room, gives it texture and color. The white plant box in front of it works very nicely against the pastel colors of the wallpaper.
This all white custom built kitchen with a grey natural stone looks very pretty in combination with the grey walls and the turn of the century details on the windows.
It’s the little black dining table and chairs however that I’m really drawn too. The round shape matches this kitchen layout perfectly and the black chairs and pendant light really work together very nicely with the table.
I love how the beige color palette comes together in this Swedish home. The living room has a very light palette and has a lot of textures from the different materials there which make it look very cozy and inviting. the large light beige area rug* goes very nicely with the Ikea sofa covered with a Bemz custom cover* and the Jetson armchair from Dux.
The art prints, warm-colored pillows, and green plants really stand out from this beige palette, and the beige paint color in the living room walls, while the vintage cupboard in the corner adds a deeper tint to this look.
The master bedroom follows the same color palette with crisp white linen bedsheets* and beige wall color. I’m such a big fan of the vintage desk and chair in front of the window as well. The white linen curtains* go wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling and I love that they are just opened to the width of the desk.
Also, the guest bedroom has the same color palette, however here stronger contrast is created with deeper colors in the art prints, a dark grey throw* and terracotta pillowcases*.
I love a good mineral wall, it gives so much texture to a space. Look at this Swedish bedroom, where the painted wall really is the thing that stands out the most in this otherwise modestly, yet stylishly decorated space.
So simple, yet so on point and exactly what is needed in front of this kitchen window. The decor of this small dining table couldn’t be easier: two grey J104 chairs from HAY*, a small Ikea table covered with a white linen tablecloth* and and an &Tradition Mass light* hanging at the center of the table. The small print and the HAY candle holder on the wall finish of this cozy little dining corner and the flowers match this fresh spring look perfectly.
I love the deep warm beige color on the walls of this moody Swedish bedroom. The white vintage built in cabinet against the wall with the door built in looks really amazing and makes the space look less narrow and long by bring the wall forward.
The dark grey waffle throw*, combined with the crisp white linen bedsheets* and the mixture of the beige* and rust* linen pillow cases work really well with the color of the wall and I love the vintage frames above the bed that match this look perfectly.
