Meanwhile, inside this wonderful apartment in one of Linnéstaden's oldest buildings in Gothenburg, a rather different atmosphere prevails. Once an industrial premises, the space is a beautiful blend of raw character and relaxed style. Exposed brickwork, hefty timber beams, original doors and soaring three-metre ceilings provide the backdrop, while a curated gallery wall, vintage furniture and splashes of cobalt blue add warmth and personality.
I love how the owners have embraced the building's history rather than trying to hide it. The result is a home with soul and full of character, creativity and charm. Welcome inside!
Such an inspiring home, don't you think?
Personally, I loved the play with scale, from the low shelving topped with oversized, bold artwork to the floor-to-ceiling gallery wall, as well as all the remnants of the property's industrial past. Wonderful!
Was there anything that caught your eye?
I feel this is the perfect excuse to share a few more fabulous homes with an industrial touch (it's been a while!):
Industrial meets cosy rustic in a Swedish home
The fabulous industrial style atelier of a creative
An artist's home in a former factory
And in case you missed it, I also shared a local guide to Malmö by the sea earlier this week, ideal if you're looking for vacation inspiration!
Wishing you all an underbar weekend!

Love, love, love this! It makes such great use of the space and somehow still looks/feels cosy. Very inspiring. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your gorgeous international style interiors! So fresh and unusual for me for inspiration.
DeleteWhat a super cool apartment! The modern and vintage are perfectly balanced. Of course my favorites are probably the brick wall, the beams and those beautiful old doors........and the gallery wall. Thank you for sharing this inspirational abode! : > )
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Sometimes industrial homes are a little too stark for my taste, but this keeps the interesting elements while adding some warmth. I love the shelf above the window with the nesting dolls.
DeletePS Those little cubbies high up on th ewall in several places add to the charm! : > )
ReplyDeleteThey do! :)
DeleteI love the gallery wall and how it’s lived in with art and pottery. The hints of blue and white give me a feel of merimekko
ReplyDeleteThe art and pottery add so much. Love your reference to Marimekko, so true!
DeleteSo many objects and textures to engage us, yet the restricted palette keeps the overall impression from overwhelming our senses. Is there a style called "warm industrial?" If so, this is it and I find it very appealing!
ReplyDeleteI think there is, but if not, there is now! Perfect description!
DeleteBeautiful. I love how they used the space. I would wonder how dark the place gets in the evening as I didn't see much in the way of lighting. Just the occasional lamp or decorative pendant.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted. I just had a look back through to suss out the lighting. The main space it seemed to be lacking a little was the dining area - some lovely candlelight might just solve that for dinners at least :)
Delete"a home with soul and full of character, creativity and charm"☺ The brick, beams, barn wood, pottery speak rustic, and mixes lovingly with the kitchen, dining, furniture, art that are more moderne! Open plumbing matches the kitchen pulls☺ Lighting is très joli!!!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed the tours of industrial homes/factory-conversions. Thank you☺
So happy you enjoyed this one! it feels like a while ago that i featured a home with an industrial touch.
DeleteIs it fashionable to leave your bed unmade? Asking for a friend, :).
ReplyDeleteGood news - it's good to leave your bed unmade to air it after you've slept. And thereafter, I do love a 'relaxed' look rather than a strict army-style made up bed, it looks more cosy. Do you agree?
