Quick disclaimer: if you’re looking for a riot of neon brights, clashing patterns and wild, noisy interiors, this isn’t it. When I say 'colour', I mean it in a softer, more thoughtful way - just enough to add interest and warmth, but still with that earthy calm I love. Think of it as colour with the volume turned down.
This Swedish home in Gothenburg completely caught my eye because it feels different from anything I’ve seen before. Each room has its own theme - a whisper of burnt orange here, a wash of green there, a cool brush of blue beyond - yet the spaces flow together beautifully, like chapters in the same story. It’s the kind of balance someone with a real eye can pull off.
I especially love the tone-on-tone play - lighter shades layered with deeper ones from the same spectrum. It’s subtle, clever, and so visually captivating!
And don’t miss the personal collection of treasures tucked throughout the home - a mix of pieces that make you want to lean in for a closer look.

My first thought was that this would be a fun home to raise a family in--and then I saw the sweet picture of the little girl (how I miss dressing my daughter in clothes like that) and it all seemed to fit. This is exactly how I like to see color used--it adds a light, playful vibe, but doesn't hit you in the face. The master bedroom is dreamy, and it looks like they used hallway space to create an office--love that. Real homes require creative use of space. Thanks for sharing this one! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is how I like color! Blues, greens.. contrast with rust/pink and quite a few patterns, yet pleasant and calm...a smooth flow. Love the bedroom, especially. Observing kitchens with top cabinets in white or so to blend in with the walls. Thank you for sharing home, Niki! Guess you had a good time at the cottage to return with this home:)
ReplyDeleteWow! A fun cottage to walk through. I had a hard time paying attention to a lot of details because the wall hangings, art, etc. were so captivating. It is nice to see a home with so much personality and whimsy! Although I am definitely a blue and green girl, I loved the shade of pink in the Kite poster and on the door. The colors flow from one room to the next because they are all such lovely soft shades. Very pretty, as it the child playing and spilling in the window sill. Thank you for sharing this interesting space. : > )
ReplyDeleteHi - loved seeing this cheerful home. So funny - I have an accent wall in my dining area that is burnt orange - and decided to have a painter come just this past Friday and paint my bedroom and hallway in the same color - love it! And I had him paint my front door CHEERFUL yellow...so I love all the colors in this home! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fresh feeling home I particularly like the green. We’re all white but this tempts me to try some gentle colour
