A Unique Bohemian Family Home in a Former Swedish Bakery

In the Swedish city, Höganäs stands a former bakery building, which has been carefully restored into a unique family home. The house is the oldest remaining bakery building in the city, dating from the late 19th century. A bakery was run here in the old artisanal style until 1965 when the bakery was converted into a ceramics workshop and then into a private residence.

The recent restoration of the building seamlessly blends the historic features of the building with modern amenities. The original and dynamic floor plan means the house has grand open-plan spaces that can be easily adapted to your needs.

Even though the spaces are open-plan and large, the rooms feel very cozy thanks to the combination of color, materials, and styles. The decor can be described as bohemian meets industrial meets vintage. What’s not to love?
