Inside Juni's Oslo Apartment with Creative Paint Trends & Inspiring Art

Good morning, friends! I hope you all had a wonderfully relaxing weekend. I can’t stop daydreaming about the cosy cabin from Friday’s post—oh, how tempting it would be to swap Malmö’s dreary rain for an off-grid retreat in snowy Lapland this week! How about you? Unfortunately, that’ll have to remain a dream for now. But don’t worry, I’ve got something else to brighten up your Monday—a stunning home tour that’s sure to inspire.

Today, we’re stepping into the beautiful apartment of Juni Halseth Strenberg, a talented UX designer based in Grünerløkka, Oslo. Juni and her partner have been lovingly renovating their home, which dates all the way back to 1894. A colour enthusiast, Juni has embraced earthy tones throughout, using them boldly across ceilings, windowsills, and door frames. The result? A chic, contemporary vibe that perfectly complements an eclectic mix of sculptural furniture, rich textures, and playful patterns. Small bursts of colour in the form of lighting, artwork, and accessories bring an extra layer of energy and joy to the space.

Welcome to Juni’s delightful home—let’s take a peek inside!






Paint colours: Classic white on walls, Morning dew 18 on ceiling, Himla  4 on windowsill



Armchairs–Fogia, Pendant–Hay, Floor lamp–Louis Poulsen, Sofa–MeliMeli, Paint–Klint colours, Lobster cushion–Beau Marché
Paint colours: Vide 107 on walls, Olivlund on ceiling

Paint colours: Honey bee 32 on ceiling, Limon 82 on walls. 

I get such a lovely feeling from Juni's apartment—don’t you?

The use of colour really stands out to me. A few years ago, it was all about the one accent wall, but these days it’s all about going all out—painting absolutely everything: the ceiling, walls, window frames, radiators, you name it. And, I’m here for it! How do you feel about this contemporary use of paint?

I also loved being introduced to so many new artists (I’ve done my best to link to as many as possible).

Was there anything in particular you enjoyed about Juni’s home?

  3. The judicious use of color and pattern are outstanding, but what really stood out to me was the lovely crown molding. I am thinking it might be plaster work, but I'm not sure. It is just gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful week!!

    1. I agree, the crown moulding is simply stunning, I love the way it catches the light in these pictures.

  4. Love the red/pink shade of those velvet chairs and the juxtaposition of those chairs with the colorful book display. The display is a great way to celebrate book cover art and the components can be rearranged and changed endlessly. So playful and visually interesting!

  5. This apartment has a great structure! I love the bedrooms, artwork and hanging lamps but the living room looks like a dentist waiting room. A large cosy basket to gather magazines would look nicer that the book display…

    1. I agree, lovely bedrooms, artowrk and pendant lamps. I think you're referring to the magazine rack, is that right? The central focus of the living room with the spotty sofa, armchairs and coffee table is lovely I think :)

  6. I'm here for the lobster pillow. :) There are many fun touches in this apartment. For my own living space, I prefer more vintage touches, but it's interesting to look at other styles.

    1. Me too Kris! I immediately went over to buy one but alas, it's sold out (understandably!), I hope it will be back in stock soon.

  7. Her home seems merry and not to take itself too seriously with design. The art and use of color is wonderful. I noticed several white accents with planters, vases, lamp, candelabra, the busts etc. that offset nicely with color. I really like the red and glass cabinet in the dining room.

  8. Color, texture and pattern in Juni's lovely home makes it both calming and engaging. Beautiful art and book display. Thank you for listing the source for each. It made the post all the more enjoyable.
    Is it true we had only 3 Norwegian homes last year! And the long awaited Hafjell post! Love your travel blogs:)

    1. I am so happy the sources were useful (even if the lovely lobster cushion has sadly sold out!). It's so tricky to find Norwegian homes to share for some reason, even though I know there must be thousands of beautiful ones. I will keep my eyes peeled moving forwards! In fact, I'm heading to Norway in March for an adventure so I'll be sure to take some pictures and share my findings with you on return!
