Hooray for a brand new week (though I’ve seen more than a few tired faces around Malmö this morning…).
To give this Monday a much-needed boost, I thought I’d share a colour-drenched Stockholm apartment that’s bursting with personality.
We’re talking deep, earthy pinks, greens, oranges, yellows, and blues. But true to Swedish style, there’s a calmness to it all too—a sense of balance. Think springtime blooms in full swing, windows thrown open to let in that fresh April air.
Keep an eye out for the curtains in the bedroom and hallway—used in place of doors to add softness and flow to the space. I also spotted a built-in desk and chair tucked into the closet. Such a clever idea for a dressing table in a small space—just add a mirror and some great lighting!
Throughout the apartment, there’s a lovely blend of high street finds and designer touches—like IKEA cabinets and Flowerpot lamps—which keeps the look sophisticated yet relaxed. The kind of place you’d love to come home to after a busy day in the capital: kick off your shoes, put your feet up, and unwind.
Ready to feel inspired?
Such clever decorating—with the same colours popping up in every room. They dominate in some spaces, and act as accents in others, which really helps to pull the whole look together.
Did you spot how the owners used clever paintwork above the sofa? Pipes and shelves are painted the same colour as the wall so they blend in, adding a lovely sense of calm. I also loved the library wrapping around the corner—such a smart and cosy touch.
The art is interesting throughout, too. I found myself paying particular attention to it in each image!
Was there anything that stood out to you and drew you in? Any ideas you might take away and try in your own home?

Lovely, I like the use of color and style.
ReplyDeleteHappy you liked it!
DeleteSuch interesting windows! I am especially drawn to the soft green of the painted chairs and bathroom tiles. The children's bedrooms are charming...love the mushroom lamp! Thank you for sharing this home with us. : > )
ReplyDeleteThe soft green is just lovely, I can see why you're drawn to it.
DeleteLots to love here. The green tiles in the shower area (or are they blue-green?) were so refreshing to see. My daughter would LOVE the cat wall hooks in the children's room. And .... corn on the cob in April? That's definitely something we don't see in the stores in my area till late May.
ReplyDeleteThe tiles are proving popular! Thank you for pointing out the cat hooks too - so cute!
DeleteThe use of color is inspiring. The paint treatment in the living room to cover pipes is quite clever. I noticed they seemed to continue the band of white from the ceiling down the wall in the bedrooms which seems to simulate the effect of architectural molding. The cupboards in the child’s room to match the walls camouflages something utilitarian and gives a nice finished effect. I’m still in love with the windows!
ReplyDeleteWell spotted - some very clever paint tricks at play here. The windows are indeed beautiful!
Delete😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot. It doesn't really feel like an apartment.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! It's so nice to see all the greenery outside too - it's slowly coming to life and such a welcomed sight.
DeleteSuch a serene yet vibrant space! Scandinavian design always has that effortless charm.
ReplyDeleteIt does! That's something I think they are so good at :)
