One Swedish apartment, two different ways of doing grey

Swedish estate agents Fastighetsbyrån took one apartment and asked three talented Swedish stylists to decorate it (cue: blog frenzy!). The results are incredible and give real insight into how to transform a home. My favourite two are by Tina Hellberg and Hans Blomquist who took the colour of the moment: grey, and made the apartment their own. Which look do you prefer?!

So fascinating don't you think? Hans has gone all out charcoal grey for a 'cocoon' like feel, where as Tina has kept the space white with grey accent colours. I love the striking nature of Hans' styling but perhaps find Tina's more livable in as I like a lot of light.

Which would you go for?

As mentioned, there's a third look too, created by Mikael Beckman. Mikael went for whites, greens and brass. You can see the final look here.

New sponsor alert and so very excited about this one. Please provide a warm welcome to new Australian online shop Room To Decorate. Founder Dianne was always receiving compliments on her own home and as a result opened Room to Decorate to provide Australians and New Zealanders with oh so cool Scandinavian inspired home-ware (my favourits include this light, cushion and cup and saucer), We like! You can also find Room To Decorate on Facebook, TwitterPinterest and blog. Thank you for supporting my wonderful sponsors who make this blog happen!

Have a lovely day!

PS Thank you so much for entering the weekend give-away. The competition is now closed and I will contact the winner today via e-mail. Look out for the next one in two weeks time!

  4. I prefer the more grey one. If you had asked--without photos--if I preferred a grey apartment or a white one I would have said white. However, I found the grey one to be much warmer and less stark.

  5. I like most the one from Hans. Maybe it is because I'm now in this autumn mood and his styling is like the nature saying goodbye to summer and autumn and preparing for a winter..
    But! Talking about bathroom, I am picking the one from Mikael =). The green details making me feel joy in my heart, can't say why.. <3
    Have a beautiful start of new week,
    Michael

  11. They're both gorgeous, but I would go with the first one by Hans Blomquist, I feel all the wood furniture he's used throughout gives it more warmth and character.

  12. I don't know really. I definitely don't like the third one. These two both have likes and dislikes for me. I like the impression the grey gives, but if I imagine being in Sweden on long dark days, it would depress me even more than dark days already do. I like the sofa by the window, but I also like it by the fireplace. Maybe it would be nice to have a summer lay-out and a winter lay-out (my mother in law does that)?
    One features Ikea's Moment sofa, we have one in the garden as a garden sofa, it definitely is not comfortable enough for the living room, trust me. It holds up (and works) very well in the garden (14 years and counting). Have a wonderful day!
