You often see a variety of wood tones in kitchen designs, yet brown kitchen cabinets, just like in this beautiful apartment for sale in Sweden, are not something you see very often. The beautiful open-plan kitchen shares a room with the kitchen dining table with the compact kitchen on just one wall.
The bedroom includes a custom built-in wardrobe around the bed as a space-saving storage solution and dark green walls that contrast nicely with the white wardrobe modules. The hallway has a soft pink wall color that can be seen from the kitchen living space.
Brown kitchen cabinets paired up with beige walls and white marble countertops
The beige wall color in the living kitchen is paired up with dark brown kitchen cabinets that add a beautiful warm tone to the setting. The white marble countertops stand out against this dark cabinetry, while the chrome hardware and faucet add another material quality to the mixture.
The pink wall color of the hallway can be seen from the kitchen and complements the color palette of the brown kitchen cabinets perfectly.
A dining area with open shelving and a vintage glass cabinet
The vintage round dining table fits perfectly with the brown kitchen cabinets and the dark brown dining chairs finish the setting off perfectly.
The historic fireplace in the middle of the room visually separates the dining room and the wall on the right side of the fireplace is covered entirely with an impressive combination of open shelving on which a beautiful collection of accessories is displayed.
A cozy living room with a mixture of colors in the accessories and textiles
The living room is painted with the same beige wall color as the living kitchen. The white fabric sofa in combination with the white area rug provides the space with a white canvas that can be decorated with subtle colors in the accessories and throw pillows.
A bedroom with dark green walls and a wardrobe above the bed
The bedroom is characterized by a custom-built wardrobe that goes around the bed and leaves out a cozy niche space where a custom headboard and a wall lamp fit in. The contrast between the white wardrobe and the white wainscoting against dark green the walls of the bedroom is very stong and powerful.
A vintage glass cabinet in dark wood stands out against the dark green wall color in the bedroom.
A hallway with pink walls
The hallway is painted in a light pink wall color, perfect for a room that doesn’t get direct daylight. The paint color, however, is just dark enough so that the white trim on the ceiling and the white door frames stand out nicely.
A custom-fit wardrobe in a dark color provides the hallway with extra storage space and adds contrast against the light pink walls.

Posted inInterior Inspiration|Comments Off on Brown kitchen cabinets in a spacious turn-of-the-century home
The walk-in closet office makes this spacious and light-flooded turn-of-the-century apartment (for sale via Entrance Makleri) unique, yet the other rooms’ design elements are also worth mentioning. The spacious living room with light grey walls includes an elegant TV gallery wall and a beautiful crystal chandelier that matches the ornate historic elements in the space.
The two-tone kitchen includes black cabinets on the bottom and white ones on the top for a light yet contrasting look that is matched by a kitchen island and a dining table by the window.
The darker grey bedroom has a unique walk-in closet that includes a cozy home office with yellow walls and the gorgeous hallway has a beautiful chequered floor paired up with an elegant sage green paint color on the walls.
A living room with a TV gallery wall
The light grey living room walls are decorated with an impressive gallery wall that spreads over two walls and includes the TV. The rest of the interior is kept minimal so the combination of art prints on the wall gets all the attention. The crystal chandelier stands out underneath these high ceilings and the details match the ornate crown molding.
A black and white kitchen with wood countertops
The black kitchen cabinets paired up with warm wood countertops provide the kitchen with a contrasting look that comes back in the black bentwood dining chairs as well. To keep a light layout, the upper cabinets were picked out in white to blend into the white walls.
The dining table fits perfectly in the space between the wall and the kitchen island and the kitchen floor plan feels balanced in front of the two large windows.
A spacious grey bedroom with a walk-in closet office
The bedroom has a darker grey wall color than the living room, giving it a slightly more moody look. The custom walk-in closet includes a home office space and storage space in a more narrow area. By painting this custom module in the same color as the wall, it perfectly blends in with the rest of the interior.
The ladder to reach the top of the closet and the headboard behind the bed have both been painted in the same color as the walls for a tone-on-tone look that makes the white crown molding stand out in a nice way.
A walk-in closet office with yellow walls
The home office space inside of the closet is painted yellow, for a bright and happy contrast with the grey walls of the bedroom. The desk in front of the window includes storage space and fills the entire length of the wall.
The wall shelf fits perfectly between the wall and window and provides the room with a perfect spot for decor elements.
A spacious hallway with sage green walls
The spacious hallway has an eye-catching grey and white chequered floor that is accentuated by painting the walls in a darker sage green wall color. Both of the ceiling-high storage modules in the hallway are painted in the same color as the hallway, making the heater cover and the beautiful white door stand out in a lovely way.
A bathroom with black tile floors
The combination of the black hexagon tile floor and the white tiles on the bathroom walls provides this room with an interesting contrast that is finished off with elegant brass trim on the edges of the walls and the shower niche.
This beautiful attic apartment with white walls and a neutral interior color palette is finished off with a green and black color palette in the accessories and kitchen. The spacious living room has a glass partition wall that separates a home office space with a beautiful desk with integrated storage from the living room. The bedroom has a custom wardrobe over the bed for optimized storage opportunities.
The green kitchen with black countertops adds a contrasting palette to the interior of the apartment which is otherwise dominated by the white walls throughout. The black accents come back in the different rooms in the smaller accessories, lamps, and textiles as a red thread.
A kitchen with a green and black color palette and a small breakfast nook
The open-plan kitchen layout is built on a wall with a relatively high ceiling for an attic apartment, allowing for a combination of upper and lower cabinets and lots of storage space. The sage green kitchen cabinets are paired up with a black countertop and backsplash and finished off with black hardware for a powerful, contrasting look that complements the light hardwood flooring in the space.
A cozy breakfast nook with a bench made out of the same materials as the kitchen forms the dining area. The small round dining table in front of the storage bench paired up with three elegant wood dining chairs fills the space between the kitchen and the hallway.
A cozy attic living room with green and black accents
The grey fabric sofa fills the entire living room wall and is matched by a pouf in the same fabric on top of a large fluffy area rug that adds a lot of texture to the space. The light wood tones and black accent pieces combined with the elegant art prints above the sofa finish the living room off nicely.
A home office behind a black metal glass partition
Part of the hallway and living room has been separated by the use of a black metal glass partition with a door, creating a separate home office space with a custom desk.
The long desk worktop rests on top of storage cabinets with wood-paneled doors, combining storage and a work spot into one custom furniture piece.
Custom open shelving next to the window provides the perfect place for storing books and accessories.
A bedroom with a built-in wardrobe around the bed
The custom-built wardrobe extends over the bed and provides lots of storage space underneath the sloped ceiling, an area that would otherwise be lost. The white cabinets blend in perfectly with the white walls and ceilings in the space and the wood panel headboard also comes back in the shelf by the bedroom window.
The wood panels on the hardboard in the niche for the bed are complemented with black wall lamps and a mixture of black, white, and beige textiles on the bed.
A large hallway space connecting all the rooms
The hallway has a rather odd shape, but it connects all the different rooms together in a nice way. The large standing mirror by the front door makes the space look bigger and lighter and the custom wood coat rack with a place for shoes fits perfectly against the narrow wall next to the door.
A concrete bathroom with black metal fittings
The concrete bathroom walls in this modern attic home form the perfect backdrop for the black fittings and the black sink cabinet. The free space next to the shower niche is used for the washing machine, with a custom board covering the top for folding clothes and keeping detergent,
What used to be a commercial space is now a beautiful two-level home with a dark blue kitchen, blue interior accents, and a minimal bedroom with white floors. The kitchen lays in between the living room and the bedroom, connecting both spaces with its bold dark blue kitchen cabinets with a glossy finish.
A dark blue kitchen with a tile countertop and backsplash
The kitchen layout features a main section with lower kitchen cabinets with a dark navy glossy finish combined with open wood shelving surrounding the stove hood on both sides. Both the walls, kitchen counter, and hood cover have a tile finish, which gives the kitchen a slight industrial touch.
The stairs leading up to the bedroom are integrated nicely into the kitchen space, without compromising the kitchen layout.
The blue tones in the porcelain pieces on display on the floating shelves complement nicely with the dark blue kitchen cabinets.
A small kitchen dining area with blue bentwood chairs
Next to a larger storage cupboard in the kitchen, a small dining area has its place. The vintage dining table combined with the blue bentwood chairs and the vintage bike on the wall transform this setting and makes it unique.
A living room space with a large mirror to brighten up the interior
The blue sofa follows the color palette created in the dark blue kitchen setting, yet the real focal point in this living room with concrete flooring is the paneled standing mirror that covers almost the entire living room wall on one side.
The impressive mirror design makes the living room appear much larger than it is and reflects so much light coming in through the double doors where you enter the apartment.
The vintage drawer chest is painted in the same color as the dark blue kitchen and the Serge Mouille wall lamp fits perfectly in this corner, providing a nice reading light above the sofa as well.
A minimal white bedroom with white plank floors
While the rest of the apartment has concrete floors, paired up with blue tones for a contrasting look with an industrial touch, the minimal yet cozy white bedroom has a lighter and delicate look.
The white bedding and the beige linen headboard add soft textures to the palette, while the two beautiful wooden chairs used as bedside tables and the oak bench behind the bed add beautiful wood tones to the mixture.
The bedroom sideboard has mirrored cabinet fronts, which reflect the bedroom and dark blue kitchen in a subtle way, adding more depth to this minimal setting.
A bathroom with three different tiles combined
While the dark blue kitchen has both tiles on the countertop and the backsplash, this is an interior element that is very much present in the main bathroom as well. The dark green glossy floor tiles combined with the simple white tiles on the bathroom walls and the smaller square tiles on the sink make for an interesting and playful combination in the space.
A guest bathroom with a statement wallpaper
Small spaces sometimes need a bit of a bolder statement to make them shine. The dark green zebra pattern on the statement wallpaper in this guest bathroom transforms the space and I love that the dark green color on the wallpaper makes a link to the dark green glossy floor tiles in the main bathroom.

Bedroom nooks and alcove beds are a great solution when you just don’t have the square footage available to plan out all the different functionalities needed in a space. When you live in a studio apartment, for example, you need to include both living and sleeping areas in one main bedroom, which can be quite a challenge.
You can create a bed nook in an alcove available in the floor plan, design the room layout from scratch to include a nook, or create one with the formation of your storage space. Separate the area with curtains and in no time, you have created a cozy nook that can be used to sleep, sit and watch tv, or as a reading nook.
If you are wondering if a bed nook is a fitting solution for your room, take a look at the elegant space-saving bedroom solutions in the list below.
A cozy nook in a studio apartment with a different wall color
The bed nook in this sage green apartment is the perfect solution to make the most out of the floor plan. At night, you can close the curtains for privacy and light blocking and during the day you can open them up to enjoy the open floorplan to the fullest.
The bed nook has been painted in a neutral grey wall color, setting the nook apart from the rest of the sage grey-green living space.
A closet bed nook that matches the historic studio apartment details
Alcove beds are usually built into the wall of small spaces, yet the idea behind this beautiful studio apartment design is centered around a custom solution that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Since the mattress fits exactly in the customized space, there is no need for a headboard and the shelving above the bed is perfect to store books and display accessories.
You could create a similar setup in a child’s room as a bedroom or reading nook and the other doors in the structure could include a wardrobe or bookcase. The possibilities with a beautiful solution like this are endless.
A small bedroom space inside a nook including storage space
When you don’t have much space available, like in this small apartment, you might want to combine the bed nook with a place to store your clothes. This elegant solution with the wardrobe built above the end of the bed makes the bed nook even smaller, yet it also creates an even cozier setup since the wardrobe also functions as a visual separator.
The nook is decorated with a white wall lamp that stands out against the off-white walls, striped terracotta bedding, and a linen bed skirt covering the side of the mattress. The gallery wall decorating the nook follows the lines of the wardrobe solution which gives the space an elegant touch.
This small apartment has two walk-in closets built-in, creating a nook that fits the bed exactly. The ceiling between the two closets is lowered, making the nook space even more cozy and the two closets more connected with each other.
Wall nooks can work in large bedrooms as well, as you can place the bed in between two storage shelves or modules, creating a cozy spot for sleeping. You can place the bed parallel to the wall just like in this example, or use it perpendicular to the wall allowing for nightstands to fit next to the bed.
This cozy bed nook is created inside of what used to be a small walk-in closet. Placing only half the bed inside the alcove allows you to hang curtains that make the room’s architecture elegant and whimsical. The white frame built around the niche bed stands out against the grey wall colors in this home.
Large white curtains add elegance to an alcove bed
The alcove bed in this white apartment blends into the rest of the space and features beautiful white linen curtains on each side to add privacy.
The mixture of fabric on the bed matches the neutral color palette with camel tints in the rest of the apartment and the art print above the bed finishes the decor off perfectly.
Work with an interior designer to plan an alcove bed in your remodel
This bed nook solution requires a bit more resources, as it needs to be planned when doing a remodel, yet it can be such a nice solution if you have the opportunity to redo and transform a small apartment from its core.
The white walls and white textiles look very fresh, bright, and minimal and the bedside table fits perfectly on the newly created wall separating the bed from the rest of the apartment.
An alcove bed accentuated with a medium grey wall color
The bedroom in this small apartment is located in the alcove created in between doorways. Since the bed nook is more shallow than the actual bed size, the walls of the bed nook are painted in a medium grey wall color, which visually separates the bedroom area from the rest of the space.
This bedroom used to be a separate room, yet by taking out the doors and creating an open space, it becomes a nook-like room that comfortably fits the bed, wardrobe, and a big mirror that reflects daylight into this low-lit area.
The white walls and textiles are enhanced with camel and brown tones just like in the adjacent living room decor.
This small bed nook is located behind the kitchen, suggesting that it once was a pantry or something similar. The small bed fits comfortably in the tiny room, allowing for a bedside table to still fit next to the bed.
The all-white color palette with a few beige accent pieces in the textiles makes for a very light palette that compensates for the lack of daylight in the bed nook.
Alcove beds are great solutions for larger rooms as well
This large one-bedroom apartment has an alcove space with a built-in wardrobe solution that was planned into the room remodel. The large bed nook becomes part of the living space when open, yet is a separate room when closed off.
The bed is made with a mixture of white and beige textiles that match the textile combination on the sofa in the main room.
A tone-on-tone bed nook in an interior designer’s home
In her small home, interior designer Josefin Haag found the perfect place for a bedroom inside a niche space in the layout. The walls of the apartment are painted in an elegant off-white color, which makes the white textiles in the bed nook stand out in such a nice way. The nook is enhanced with wall-to-wall shelving and floor-to-ceiling curtains for a finished effect that matches the style, materials, and palette of the rest of the apartment.
Wall nooks can also be a great solution for a main bedroom in a larger apartment, especially if you like to cozy up and sleep in a tighter space. If you want to be completely separated from the rest of the space, you can even add curtains just like in this example.
Sloped ceilings in attic bedrooms create natural nook spaces that are ideal for placing a bed underneath. Lower ceiling height doesn’t bother you while you are asleep, which makes the bed the ideal functionality for utilizing these lower areas.
The half-rounded window in this attic apartment is the perfect spot for a single bed and the placement of the white wardrobe makes the sleeping space even more narrow and cozy. The gallery wall on next to the bed finalizes the look perfectly and adds darker colors to the otherwise beige and white palette in the bedroom area.
Add a bedroom or guest room in a tiny room that just fits the bed
When the interior designer created an additional wall with a window to separate the kitchen area in this small apartment, a nook-like bedroom was created that fits a double bed just barely.
The bedroom is surrounded by windows on each side of the bed, making the room appear less cramped. You enter the room at the foot of the bed, which has been decorated with a beautiful mixture of linen sheets and throw pillows.
This type of room division planned when remodeling is also great to create an extra guest room for when you have family over.
A sleeping nook with white curtains and storage furniture under the bed
A white curtain on each side of the doorway creates a beautiful and elegant separation from this bedroom towards the rest of the studio apartment. The bed is placed on top of storage furniture (this could work with drawers, cupboards, or open shelving) and covered with a white fabric curtain that matches the white look of the interior.
Even though this nook doesn’t have a window or direct daylight, the white walls and white fabrics give it a light appearance.
This nook includes a gallery wall above the bed with storage space and a wall shelf for books right underneath the ceiling, which doesn’t disturb you while lounging in this cozy corner.

Add a Cozy Bed Nook in Your Small Apartment Living Room
When you need to include a small bedroom inside of a living room, it’s great if you have a small alcove to utilize. Use the same color palette for the entire living and sleeping interior to tie both functional areas together.
The walls in this Swedish apartment are painted white in every single room, which goes well in combination with the beautiful hardwood herringbone flooring that spreads throughout the large rooms. The black and brown decor pieces and furniture are a key element in the design of the apartment, and it’s a color palette that comes back in every single room.
The living room and master bedroom are connected with beautiful historic sliding doors, allowing you to see from one room into the other. The color palettes of both rooms complement each other perfectly, while the textures of the different materials add interest and texture to the space.
A living room with black and brown decor against white walls
The living room has a beautiful light beige fabric sofa, which is decorated with a mixture of beige and brown throw pillows and a beautiful beige linen pendant light. The black coffee table on the natural area rug adds a lot of contrast to the sofa area, which also comes back in the black antique dining table next to the fireplace.
The framed art print next to the window with the white linen curtains has brown tones that also come back in the small details and accessories that are spread throughout the interior.
A contrasting dining table next to the fireplace
The black vintage dining table next to the fireplace is paired up with two black chairs and two dark wood Bruno Rey chairs (currently produced by HAY). This dark setting is enhanced with black and brown decor pieces on the table and on the mantle of the fireplace and the brown tones also come back in the beautiful art print on the wall behind the dining table.
A simple white kitchen with a vintage table
The simple white kitchen has a white subway tile backsplash and wood countertops for a simple, yet elegant look that matches the white walls. The distressed vintage dining table really stands out in this all-white setting and adds a bit of character to the kitchen decor.
The vintage dining table is combined with two black bentwood chairs for a black and brown decor palette that matches the one in the living room.
The stainless steel Moccamaster coffee maker stands out on the wooden counter and matches the stainless steel hood and faucet in a subtle way.
Beige and brown tints in the master bedroom
The master bedroom, which can be reached through the sliding doors from the living room, has been decorated with a mixture of beige and brown linen textiles on the bed and headboard and a beige wool area rug to add a lovely texture. The black bedside tables add some contrast, while the white fabric pendant light adds an elegant touch to the space.
A small home office spot with a white-painted vintage desk adorns the corner next to the window in the bedroom. The white desk is contrasted with a black Series 7 chair and black and brown decor pieces on top of the desk.
The bedroom wardrobe is custom-built and has a subtle grey color that stands out against the white bedroom walls. The oak wood ladder to reach the top cabinets underneath the ceiling is hung up as part of the wardrobe design and matches the wooden ladder rail.
A cozy hallway with shelving above the doors
The hallway connects the different rooms of the apartment and is characterized by a bookshelf above the doorways. I think this is a smart way to store books when you don’t want them to take up a prominent place in your interior.
The vintage dresser in the hallway is painted in a subtle blue color which stands out against the walls, while the round mirror completes its look.
The finishes and floor plan of this majestic attic apartment in Sweden are very high-end and it’s amazing to see the result of the remodeling of this historic place. The dark oak kitchen cabinets stand out in the interior with white walls exclusively, not only because of their deep tone but also because the kitchen connects all the different rooms in the apartment, functioning as a true hub.
The interior design of the living room and the bedrooms is minimal yet elegant, highlighting the beautiful quality of the natural materials used throughout the space.
A dark oak living kitchen is the hub of the apartment
The combination of the dark oak kitchen cabinets with the white walls and the white natural stone countertops works beautifully in this big attic kitchen space that can be reached from the staircase when entering the attic apartment.
The layout consists of a large module on the wall with a small window and a beautiful kitchen island in the middle of the space, that includes the cooking hob.
The beautiful, irregular wall in this historic attic apartment is decorated with dark oak floating shelves that follow the lines of the sloped ceiling.
A dining area in a dark tone complements the dark oak kitchen cabinets
I love the combination of the dark wood dining table and chairs, which takes front and center in the living room, with the dark oak kitchen cabinets which can be seen throughout the open floorplan.
A simple living room setting underneath a sloped roof
The living room features small exposed beams underneath the windows, which contrasts nicely against the white walls and are quite the eye-catcher in the space. The rest of the living room decor is kept minimal and in a neutral color palette.
The light grey sofa combined with the two black leather armchairs and the dark wood tables forms the perfect setting in combination with the adjacent dining table and chairs.
A minimal guest bedroom design with a large balcony window
The design of the attic guest bedroom is kept minimal since the angles of the sloped ceiling already add a lot of visual lines to the setting. A subtle mixture of textiles on the bed, a soft grey wool rug, and a single black leather armchair are enough to design the room.
A large window leading up to the balcony is decorated with beautiful linen curtains that transform this window into a design element in the space.
A beautiful staircase with exposed beams and an eye-catching light fixture
The staircase in the hallway comes out into the kitchen, where the dark exposed beams perfectly complement the dark oak cabinets. The focal point in the staircase is a multi-arm pendant with reflective discs that must cast a beautiful atmospheric light throughout the space in the evenings.
Master bedroom with a custom wood headboard
When going up the small staircase in the open-plan kitchen, you can reach the master bedroom, which has a minimal appearance like the guest bedroom. The natural oak headboard complements the hardwood flooring and accentuates the half-wall behind which a wardrobe is hidden.
The two wall lamps fit perfectly against the white walls, while the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling curtains add a luxurious look and feel to this beautiful space.
A modern yet delicate bathroom design
Rather than matching the dark oak kitchen cabinets in the bathroom as well, a lighter color palette was selected with fluted cabinet fronts in a soft color palette that complements the limestone tiles on the walls and flooring. The large, custom mirror above the sink reflects the space in a beautiful way and the sheer curtains in front of the window add an elegant element to the modern materials.
The module next to the sink contains the washing machine, built into a custom casing so it’s not in plain sight.
The elegant soft beige aesthetic in this small one-bedroom apartment is so powerful. The wall paneling finishes the look in a very nice way and a variety of custom-built closed storage modules combined with open shelving makes it easy to keep the place clean and organized.
The living room and adjacent bedroom have a soft beige wall color that pairs up nicely with the hardwood flooring and the white furniture and soft furnishings which are carefully selected for the apartment.
The dark wood kitchen adds a bit of contrast to the setting, while also matching the warm and elegant color palette of the rest of the interior design.
A round dining table with boucle poufs and a seating bench
The small dining area in this living space is my favorite element in this elegant apartment. The open shelving built into the wall provides a perfect spot for books, accessories, and a portable table lamp, while also adding extra depth to this corner of the room.
The black and white art print stands out against the beige walls, the beige stone dining table, and the white soft poufs around the table.
A soft beige aesthetic in the sofa area
The white Togo sofa fits perfectly with the soft beige aesthetic in the living space and the beige fabric art pieces above the sofa fit perfectly within the beige wall paneling on the beige living room walls.
A glass coffee table looks light in small spaces since they don’t obstruct the view and in this case, it also adds an elegant touch to the sofa in combination with the black and white Linnea Anderson blanket*.
A dark wood kitchen with beige stone countertops and white upper cabinets
The dark wood kitchen cabinets stand out in stark contrast with the rest of the light beige color palette that is present throughout the apartment. By combining the dark wood fronts with white upper cabinets and a white glass cabinet, however, a lighter look is achieved.
The beige stone countertop matches the kitchen design and the rest of the apartment, while the chrome hardware adds a modern element to the mix. The two-tone kitchen design works perfectly in this elegant apartment.
Soft beige and white built-ins for a finished look
In the hallway, you can find another elegant built-in solution combining a closed wardrobe with an open shelving module where small accessories are on display.
This beautiful Swedish apartment with light floors and white walls has the most beautiful selection of vintage living room furniture pieces spread throughout the interior. I love the way the different wood tones stand out against the light palette of the interior color palette and add character to this beautiful home.
A simple white kitchen with an antique glass cabinet in the dining section
The simple and minimal kitchen has push-to-open white kitchen cabinets and white marble countertops for a clean and subtle look that blends into the white walls and white flooring of this space.
The layout of the kitchen is spread over two walls, with an island section that also functions as a separator between the kitchen and the dining area right next to it.
The kitchen dining area has sheer beige curtains hanging on subtle brass curtain rods, a material that also comes back in the impressive chandelier hanging above the dining table.
The vintage glass cabinet adds a deep wood tone to the color palette, which really stands out against the white backdrop of the walls and kitchen elements.
Vintage living room furniture contrasts with the white color palette for a cozy effect
The adjacent living room shares a similar color palette as the kitchen, with white on the fabric sofa, walls, large area rug, and in the details. The vintage living room furniture adds beautiful contrasting elements to the space, while the vintage crystal chandelier adds an elegant touch.
Subtle black and white art prints on the wall complement this black, white, and brown color palette present in the living room.
A vintage sideboard adds a warmer wood tone to the mix, which has been decorated with black and beige tints for a cohesive look.
A built-in wardrobe around the bed with an oak inlay
The bedroom is equipped with a beautiful built-in wardrobe around the bed that allows for a combination of storage space above and next to the bed to save space. The blue bedroom walls complement the light grey wardrobe in a nice way and the oak inlay finishes the look off perfectly.
Not that the oak headboard hides away the cables from the wall lamps, which is such an elegant solution.
A simple hallway with a beige wall color
The hallway connects the different rooms together and has a subtle beige wall color that makes the carefully selected elements in natural tones stand out. The standing mirror in the hallway is great for checking your outfit before you go out, yet it also reflects daylight into the hallway, which barely has direct natural light coming in.
This small apartment space definitely has a lot of character coming from the dark green bedroom and the dark grey wall color in the living room. While usually it is recommended to paint smaller spaces with lighter wall colors to make them appear bigger, in this case, the darker wall colors work great in this compact apartment.
A dark grey living room wall for a moody effect
The dark grey living room walls add a dramatic effect to this small living room yet because of the amount of daylight that comes in and the large white trim below the ceiling, the interior still looks and feels spacious.
The combination of the artwork, the vintage coffee table, and the grey velvet sofa add even more character to this space.
The real eye-catcher in the living room is the grey-painted Ikea Ivar cabinet, which is enhanced with a brass top and backsplash for a unique effect.
A black desk and chair in a small home office spot
One wall of the living room is dedicated to a small living room home office spot. Since the black wing doors leading up to the dark green bedroom are so apparent, they are matched with a black office desk and chair that complements the space nicely.
A compact kitchen with an interesting layout
The kitchen and living room are combined in one room. Because of this, the need for a compact kitchen arises that would have all functionality on a small surface. The oven module and fridge have been combined into one block that is accessible from two sides for an elegant, space-saving layout solution.
The kitchen sink has been built inside of a nook in the wall to be able to save as much space as possible. The all-white kitchen contrasts nicely with the dark grey wall color of the living room.
A dark green bedroom with a large white trim
The dark green bedroom wall color works in perfect combination with the dark grey on the walls in the living room and I love the way both wall colors can be seen together. Just like in the living room, a large white trim finishes off the dark green wall color for a lighter effect.
The built-in storage and the wall shelving have both been painted in the same color as the walls for a tone-on-tone effect contrasted by the light beige bedding on the bed.
A small hallway with a mirrored Ikea PAX wardrobe
The hallway is small, yet by using mirrored PAX wardrobe doors, the space looks much larger than it is. The wardrobe has been built inside a nook in the wall for seamless integration in the space.
