Woah, this week has gone fast, don't you think? I thought it would be fun to wrap up with a fascinating little Swedish apartment that's filled with quirky touches and lovely ideas for the weekend - what do you reckon?
Formerly a milk shop, the 28 metres square (301 square feet) ground floor living space in Stockholm is made up of a kitchen, bathroom and one room that combines the hallway, sitting room and bedroom. While the overall look is earthy and calm, there are some fun details - like a blue door and stripes and other touches that bring a contemporary vibe to the space.
I also love the use of textiles, sheepskins and cushions throughout which add a really cosy feel for autumn.
Välkommen in!
Repurposed textiles like antique embroidered sheets have become really popular as window treatments. Here, a lovely old sheet has been clipped up in the window to prevent prying eyes from peeping in - while still allowing light to flow in from above.
I love the old coffee table too - so beautiful and warm!
The entrance may be small - but the owners have more than made up for it with plenty of storage. The mirror doors help to bounce around the light and brighten up the space - as well as help the storage to fit in seamlessly.
Doors can take up a surprising amount of space. Here, a cute yellow curtain has been used to close off the kitchen from the main living area.
When space is tight you need to make use of every inch. Sorting boxes have been nailed to the side of the chest of drawers to keep paperwork in order.
A simple curtain can be pulled across for privacy at night.
Curtains have also been used in the kitchen to hide less aesthetic items like the recycling bins.
I love how the inside of the cutlery drawer has been painted blue for an element of surprise! Could you imagine doing something like this?
I spoke about how doors are becoming a statement in their own right on Wednesday - and this blue one is no different!
What a special little space - so well thought out and unique.
Did you enjoy this tour too? Any ideas that stood out to you that you might implement in your home?
You can see more small spaces in this wonderful archive over the weekend.
Have a fabulous couple of days - thank you so much for stopping by and for all your thoughtful comments. I look forward to pouring myself a coffee this weekend and responding to reading through them all and responding to each and everyone of them.
Stor kram and happy Friday!

Me encanta todo, muy bien aprovechado el espacio y súper cálido ❤️
ReplyDeleteSo happy you loved this tour too!
DeleteMy eyes fell first for the coffee table too! 'Special little space', indeed! Open shelving, fabrics and neutral colors really help in small spaces, or at least this mysig home says so! Looking at that door , you think of the sky and not a wall! In this home, the eye is drawn upward.
ReplyDeleteHave a relaxing weekend, everyone. Thank you for another wonderful week, Niki:)
P.S We can't have anything over the head here - earthquake zone. We got to see the northern lights here yesterday:)
The coffee table is lovely - and I agree the fabrics and colours do wonders.
DeletePS fascinating (and alarming) that you can't hang anything overhead due to living in the earthquake zone - do you often get tremors, or is it quite dormant?
Lots of subtly clever ideas here!
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed this tour too Jane!
