I follow Swedish stylist Linnea Salmèn’s Instagram for a long time and always find it inspiring how she uses a mix of patterns and materials to create stylings that are true masterpieces. I have seen glimpses of here home on her Instagram, but it’s a whole and other thing to see it professionally photographed.

The Residence Magazine blog just featured her home which used to be an artists studio. Splashes of colored paint are still visible on the pillar apparently, which she kept there so you can still see this was once a painters’ studio. I highly encourage you to read the full article about Linnea’s home.

I love the character and contrast this home has.  The vintage black leather armchairs really pop out in the living room and the sofa corner is decorated with a beautiful gallery wall that spreads over both walls and divides the area from the dining room. So does the large fluffy area rug as well, which also adds so much coziness.

The bedroom comes peeking through from the living room through those beautiful wing doors and a fitting wardrobe has been installed there on the wall for ample storage space.

The art prints and black accent furniture pieces, combined with the vintage finds really make this home very characterful and personal.

I’m loving the pastel color palette in this newly build home. The dark grey flooring can easily become very heavy, but with a lighter palette, the interior looks very soft, cozy and inviting.

I really like the round dining table in front of the minimal light grey kitchen (though it could use a slightly bigger area rug if you ask me). The sofa works well in this rather small corner and I like the open plan towards the bedroom as well. I think the pops of yellow combined with the wooden furniture and beige textiles work very well in this home in general.

More than anything I like the soft look of this home. The warm beige color palette in the living room combines wonderfully with the green plants, light furniture and light area rug in this space. I think the little String shelf desk in the corner of this room work so nicely as well.

The beige walls in the kitchen look more fresh as they are combined with the dark green color of the kitchen cabinets. I love the white round dining table here, it works perfectly in this space.

The color palette in the bedroom is very eye catching as well, with the dark blue duvet covers that make the room a bit more moody, yet still fresh. I like the vintage ladder next to the bed, such a playful touch.

I’m so in awe of this luxurious Swedish home for sale and the level of attention that has been put into the design. The living room seems to be the room where all the rooms of the apartment meet and this really is such a majestic space with the slightly odd shape, simple wainscoting and so much empty space around the furniture. I like the combination of the straight lines of the coffee table and the poufs, combined with the organic shape of the sofa, they work very nicely together.

The white kitchen with black cabinet hardware consists of a low wall module, an island with an integrated dining table, and a higher module against the other wall. You need a lot of space for this type of setup, but it works so nicely and opens up the space towards those big curved windows.

The master bedroom is rather small and narrow, which is why they have worked with a custom-built wardrobe solution that warps around the bed and works with the height of the space. By adding a wall lamp and headboard inside the niche that is created with the closet modules, this becomes a nice design element. I recently compiled a list of built-in wardrobe ideas that go over the bed in case you are looking to implement a similar solution in your bedroom.

The bathroom features beautiful cage wall lights with black metal, that is matched by black metal fixtures.

My Crinkled no.1 art print has found its way into this wonderful bedroom styled by Studio Cuvier in this Swedish home sold by Alvhem. I love the combination of warm tints in this bedroom and think my prints fits perfectly in there.

The Summit House is a new flexible workspace in Holborn, London, designed by Note Design Studio. They have reimagined the entire interior on all four floors, leaving only the original art deco features of the building. They based the concept for the interior design on Swedish Grace, a pre-functionalist style of modernism that spanned the 1920s, to compliment the art deco heritage of the building.

From the cozy meeting rooms, to the impressive shape of the entrance desk and the open plan general area with kitchen, this place is designed to perfection. I like the dark muted color palette that has been used and think I would be so inspired to work here.

This bedroom is very simple in design, yet the color palette works so wonderfully well that it becomes very characterful. The oversized world map on the wall adds a warm touch to the room, while the crisp white bedsheets and bedskirt*, combined with the deep blue* and beige* pillow add a deeper tint to the look.

Isn’t this Stockholm apartment just amazing? So much love has been put into restoring the turn-of-the-century details in this place and I love how the details come out in the bright white paint coat against the beige walls. The new hardwood floor adds a soft glow to the place and makes the overall look more delicate.

I love the living room especially, with its two different sofa’s on the graphic area rug. This is such a cozy setup and the black piano only makes it more majestic don’t you think? The beige kitchen with black marble countertops comes peeking through from the living room and is matched very nicely with a black marble dining table and solid wood Wishbone Chairs.

This sun-flood home is such a great example of great personal style, combined with a love for historic details and new materials.

This home is entirely painted in tints of red, nude pink, warm beige, and terracotta and it works so nicely and adds a lot of warmth to this interior. I really like the U-shaped kitchen, which features beige cabinets and a beige backsplash. It matches the wall color of the living room and the wooden countertops very nicely.

The darker pink color of the bedroom shows through the door to the living room and I think this must be my favorite room in this home. The crisp white bedsheets, combined with the white wall lamps and heating covers really stand out against all the warm colors and I like the area rug that is added underneath the bed for an extra soft look.

I think the paint colors in this home are very daring, but they also work so nicely, don’t you think?
