Beautiful & Modern Swedish Bedroom Designs

When it comes to Scandinavian apartments, the living room always draws attention due to spectacular details. For today we decided to prove that Northern cribs have a lot more to offer than amazing socializing areas. This is why we gathered 30 incredible looking bedrooms that are welcoming and not to mention inspiring. Even though they are all unique, we noticed some similar elements that are worth bringing up. First off, all the bedrooms in the photos below feature large windows that are usually covered by stylish window blinds or subtle curtains. On each side of the king-size bed there are traditional night tables, original shelving units or chairs. The walls are painted mostly in white, but here and there you will notice an interesting color disruption: some of the bedrooms have fresh wallpapers that liven up the room. The lighting details are particularly interesting to observe. We invite you to have a look at this beautiful bedroom gallery and let us know what details you find interesting.

How to Choose the Perfect Coffee Table for your Home

Once you have chosen the couches and chairs for your living room, there is one piece of furniture that can pull the entire room together instantly, the coffee table. Coffee tables used to be a place to set your drink or to place a book, but in today’s interiors they are multifunctional, decorative, and often the focal point of your living room. From re-purposed barn doors, to sleek and modern, geometrical shapes, here are tips to choose the perfect coffee table for your home. 

• Make your other furniture envious: When choosing a coffee table, take into consideration what pieces of furniture you want to take main stage, and which pieces will play a supporting role. Coffee tables that have intricate lines, eye-popping colors, or look more like art than a table are sure to grab everyone’s attention. State of the art coffee tables can have lights, remote control capabilities, and even double as an aquarium! You name it; your coffee table can be the head turner for your interior space.

• Natural materials can make for a beautiful table: Coffee tables can be versatile and can be made from virtually any material. Natural materials such as rock, wood, cork and other organic materials make perfect finishes for coffee tables. When choosing the right finish for your home, consider the wear and tear from your family and children. Hardwoods perform well with little maintenance, but softer wood coffee tables can show scratches and also indentations from pens and other hard objects. Keep this in mind before choosing a coffee table.

• Multifunctional tables are ideal in smaller homes: If saving space is a concern in your home, consider tables that serve more than one function. Many coffee tables have storage inside or underneath of them. Display area for collectibles and treasured books can be beautiful and functional. Ottoman coffee tables that can double as footstools, or nesting coffee tables that stack inside or below each other are ideal for entertaining large groups in a small area. If you’re trying to save money on furniture, consider using trunks, sturdy baskets, or venturing to a garage sale or thrift store to find creative coffee table alternatives to the pricey furniture stores.

• Your coffee table can be the source of your color: For many neutral color palette rooms, the coffee table is an ideal way to bring color and texture into your interiors. While your coffee table can be the accent of throw pillows, accent rugs, and furniture textiles, consider what other colors exist in your space. Take color cues from artwork, decorative sculptures, and wall color already in the space. When choosing a coffee table, these factors will help you decide how much color you want to introduce.

Coffee tables can be the main attraction in your home, as well as the blending element that makes your interiors coordinate. Before rushing out to get your coffee table, measure your space, and how much room you need to maneuver between your existing furniture. Remember, your coffee table should compliment your space, not overbear it.

Cosy Stockholm Apartment Featuring Two Bedrooms and an Airy Feel

 

Located in Stockholm, the bright apartment you are about to see is very well planned, featuring generous windows that offer natural light throughout the day. Covered in oak hardwood floors, the apartment shines brightly while displaying a comfortable floor plan. The spacious apartment is filled with cleverly placed storage space. The large living room features a connection to the bedroom through a glass door. A fully-equipped spacious kitchen features a great place for family meals – a dining table that can accommodate 6 to 8 people sits right under the window. Canadian maple floors contrasting with the white cupboards add a lively feeling to the cooking area. Right next to the master bedroom, a second room can be turned into a children’s room or a guest bedroom. A walk-in-closet cleverly built between the two bedrooms offers valuable storage space and the hallway storage space is another place to keep stuff you only seldom use.

Stunning Mid Century Bungalow Conversion by SHED

SHED completed Montlake Remodel, an impressive architecture project. Here is the description we received: “Working with a limited budget and a tight construction schedule, the Montlake remodel re-imagined the interior space of a 1949 bungalow to meet the needs of a family of three. The owner’s project brief called for a unified Living/Kitchen/Dining room, a master bathroom, and the addition of a shower to the powder room. In addition, the clients wanted the floor plan opened up to the greatest extent possible. Several decisions were made to restrain the construction budget: 1) no changes would be made to the exterior building envelope; 2) no major changes would be made to existing plumbing locations and 3) the clients would act as the general contractor with the help of a detail oriented architecture school grad who was a skilled and an experienced carpenter.

“With these limitations in place, the design sought to integrate the public spaces of the house while simultaneously opening the public and private zones of the house to each other. To achieve the first, the non-bearing partition walls dividing kitchen, dining and living rooms were completely removed. The resulting space runs the length of the house–from front yard to rear yard—and is defined by furniture and the pools of light from the existing skylights. Budget restrictions prevented the extension of the interior space to the exterior yards, but future connection is planned! To achieve the second objective, the central bearing wall was “pulled apart” to open diagonal views between public and private zones, and then casework inserted in the framed voids to provide a measure of screening. Using just these two strategies the interior was transformed from a series of closed rooms to an open plan that integrated public/private space. From start to finish the project took 4.5 months.” Be sure to have a look at the last photos of the post for an idea of how this place looked before the renovation:
