It's Friday, the sun is shining, and spring is in the air here in Sweden! Throughout the city, small signs of spring are popping up everywhere—from delicate first buds appearing on rose bushes clinging to the sides of houses to vibrant crocuses brightening the roadsides. Even so, when you live in an apartment high above the city, nature and the changing seasons can sometimes feel distant. That's why I was so captivated by this lovely Gothenburg home.
Laid out over two floors—with a brand-new loft conversion—the apartment has been thoughtfully decorated in soft shades of green, creating a wonderful sense of harmony throughout the living space. Even more charming, subtle botanical-themed wallpaper adorns the walls, while floral textiles decorate the bedroom beneath an oil painting of blooms arranged in a vase. And throughout the home, you'll find pretty yet simple displays of fresh spring flowers.
A gentle reminder for us all to pick up our Friday flowers!
Another aspect of this Swedish apartment that caught my attention was the blend of materials—warm wood and exposed brickwork create visual interest and contribute beautifully to the mix of old and new elements throughout the space.
Ready for a look around? Let's go!
It's definitely the raw materials that caught my eye—such a clever way of highlighting architectural details that you might not have noticed otherwise.
Despite the more minimalistic feel of the decor (the flat is currently for sale via Entrance), glimpses of personal touches shine through, such as this floral retro stool beside the bed and the pink Panton chair!
I realise that without ALL the images, the gymnastic rings and ropes might seem strange, but if you click here for the complete tour, you'll also see a nice children's room, which explains their presence!
Is there anything that stood out to you in particular about this Gothenburg loft? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts below as always!

Did you see the tours earlier this week? If not, don't miss Anna's coastal home on a Swedish island (I loved reading all your comments!) and a rustic surfer's cabin that's currently for sale in Tasmania, complete with its own Headland!
Have a fantastic weekend all!
