A Charming Swedish Cottage Filled with Art and Color
A charming red cottage, built in 1872, stands surrounded by a well-cared-for garden with fruit trees, flowers, and plants. The historic home is located close to the sea and nature but also in close proximity to Sweden’s capital city, Stockholm.
Indoors, the home is decorated in a cozy cottage style with colorful decor, art, patterned textiles, and historic elements such as a log burner, brick walls, and exposed beams.
The living room is a charming space with large windows offering views from the lush garden and surrounding traditional Swedish red wooden cottages.
The living room is small, but the ground floor has an open floor plan where the living room, dining room, and kitchen are located in a social floor plan, so it feels larger than it is.
The exposed brick wall features a log burner creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
The use of color, patterned textiles, and art makes this room so cozy.
The kitchen has traditional white cabinets paired with a wooden worktop. The window offers a view of the garden, making it the perfect spot for a small kitchen table.
Between the kitchen and the living room lies the dining room, which is filled with art and books, making it very pleasant to spend time in.
The first floor is home to the master bedroom. The owners used the available space as well as possible by adding wardrobes under the slanted ceilings.
The garden is a wonderful oasis filled with trees, herbs, flowers, and plants.
