A Monochrome Nordic Home with Cozy Courtyard

On a historic cobbled street in the central Swedish town Västerås stands this beautifully renovated townhouse with a cozy courtyard.

The house and courtyard have recently been renovated. And the home is now decorated in a modern Scandi monochrome style with the occiasional vintage piece.

A monochrome home can feel cold, but this beautiful home is a warm haven thanks to its wonderful design, layered textiles, and artwork.

The sitting room with its black wall and black floor has doors leading to the courtyard terrace. The living room is not too big, but by opening up the doors in the warmer months you create an amazing indoor/outdoor living space. (you will see more pictures of the outdoor spaces later on in this post).

Raw wooden doors in the kitchen/dining room lead to the master bedroom. The bedroom is not big but it’s smartly designed with one wall with built-in wardrobes.

On the ground floor they created a second sitting room with a bedroom attached. The perfect room for a teenager.

The new balcony by the kitchen is big enough for a proper dining table.
