An Amazing Swedish House with Pink and Gray Rooms
This amazing semi-detached house from the early 20th century stands in an idyllic residential area just south of the city center of Stockholm. The entire home is painted in carefully selected pink and gray shades that pair beautifully with the wooden floorboards from the time the house was built in 1927.
The ground floor has a normal layout with a living room and a kitchen. It is the first floor that makes this home so amazing. The entire first floor is painted in gray shades, and here, the owners created a second sitting room, a master bedroom, and a home office with an industrial glass wall. The top floor houses an all-white bedroom, and the home also features a charming garden.
The living room on the ground floor is color-drenched in a soft pink shade, creating a charming atmosphere. Fully glazed doors fill the room with natural light and give access to the garden.
I love the light, calm, and inviting atmosphere in this living room. The soft pink walls pair beautifully with the original wooden floorboards, the leather chesterfield sofa invites you to sit, and the red-painted table turn this space into a social room with plenty of space for large dinner parties.
To make this room even more perfect, the walls are decorated with art. The red-painted table is the centerpiece of the room; it adds a nice bold color pop without being overwhelming.
The soft pink hue on the walls contrasts nicely with the black-painted staircase.
The front door of the house opens into the kitchen, which the owners designed in an industrial style with black-painted floorboards, dark black-painted cabinets, and white tiles.
The black cabinets are paired with brass knobs, a dark wooden countertop, a butler sink, and white tiles.
Between all the black and white elements, the owners added a mint green shelf above the countertop.
On the other side of the island, floor-to-ceiling cabinets hide all the major appliances and offer plenty of storage.
From the living room, you can access the staircase decorated with bookshelves to go to the first floor of the house.
From light pink, we move to the first floor, which is entirely decorated in dark tones. The first floor has two closed bedrooms and a large open space which is now used as a cozy second sitting room.
The smallest room, with its industrial glass wall, is turned into a home office with a simple desk under the window and black-painted walls.
The open space is turned into a cozy second sitting room with gray-painted walls and a blue velvet sofa.
This room also has built-in wardrobes, so it can also be an amazing bedroom. But I love that they created a second private sitting room and the open feeling this first floor now has.
A pocket door opens into the small master bedroom, painted gray and featuring a small built-in wardrobe that is hidden by a colorful patterned curtain.
A small white pocket door gives access to the stylish bathroom.
The bathroom is simple but stylish, with marble tiles, a green vanity, smart ledges that can be used as storage, and a mirror wall. Natural light flows in via the small window above the door.
There is a pocket door in the second sitting room hiding the staircase leading to the top floor.
This room is a complete contrast to the floor below. All the woodwork has been painted white, and two large skylights fill the room with natural light.
The garden in the summer is a green oasis with trees, flowers, and other plants.
