A Scandinavian Residence Displaying a Slanting Kitchen in White Hues
Nestled within a beautiful Swedish villa lies a home that effortlessly blends modernity and cosiness, thanks to a stylish makeover using Superfront cabinet doors. The flat, filled with light, character, and a touch of Scandinavian elegance, serves as a testament to the power of thoughtful design and approachable modifications.
The flat's open and inviting atmosphere is achieved through the predominantly white and grey colour scheme that brightens each room, making small spaces appear larger and more cheerful. The living spaces, including the Sovrum (bedroom), Vardagsrum (sitting room), and Kök (kitchen), are bathed in light, allowing the original floors and exposed brick to stand out as prominent features in the renovated space.
In the Kök, Superfront's custom cabinet doors have been introduced, featuring a white marble countertop and grey cabinets. These cabinets, adorned with ribbed or fluted wood fronts, elevate the simple IKEA units, adding depth and interest that belies the basic cabinetry underneath. The combination of warm wood tones and clean, minimalistic forms creates a balance between modernity and coziness, embodying the effortless style Swedish design is renowned for.
The bedroom, with its white bed and grey headboard, and the sitting room, furnished with a grey sofa and a vintage armchair, exude a sense of comfort and sophistication. Small elements like matching cabinet legs and handles, crafted by Superfront, help make the kitchen feel cohesive and intentional, as if custom-built rather than a modification of standard IKEA cabinetry.
The styling for this transformed flat was done by Petra Yngfalk for Historiska Hem, who has skillfully blended modern and vintage pieces to create a harmonious whole. The walls are adorned with artwork, including a large black-and-white photograph, that adds a touch of personality to the space.
The photography for this article was expertly captured by Elin Sylwan, who has beautifully documented the transformation of this Swedish villa home. This approach offers a modern timelessness and flexibility, well suited to both compact and open-plan Swedish flats or homes, making it an inspiring example for those seeking to update their IKEA kitchens with a touch of style and character.
The interior design elements of this flat, such as the custom cabinet doors from Superfront in the kitchen and matching cabinet legs and handles throughout, contribute to the modern lifestyle achieved within the villa. This renovated home, showcasing a harmonious blend of modern and vintage pieces, serves as a stylish model for anyone looking to incorporate home-and-garden changes that exude comfort, sophistication, and approachable elegance.
