Fundamental Decor Elements for a Minimalist Swedish Studio Flat
In the heart of the city, life happens gently in a series of charming abodes, each offering a unique blend of comfort and functionality. Today, we take a tour of a smallish city flat, a little cottage, and a cosy cabin, all of which embody the essence of Swedish design.
The city flat boasts a clever room divider solution, with a potential addition of built-in, wall-mounted shelves in the corner of the living room, extending over the door to the kitchen. Last week, a hook rail and nesting tables were present, providing practical storage and flexible seating options. White linen curtains and round furniture added a touch of softness to the layout.
Stepping out of the city, we find ourselves in a charming tiny Swedish allotment cottage. This quaint abode, reminiscent of a fairy tale, features multi-functional and space-saving pieces, such as sofa beds or ottomans with hidden storage. Natural materials like reclaimed wood and stone features, such as a fireplace or kitchen backsplash, enhance its rustic charm. Textured elements like soft throws, layered rugs, and cushions in warm, earthy tones add depth and coziness.
Our final stop is a small cabin nestled in the city, offering a peaceful retreat. Last week, blackout blinds were installed to control light, and this pouf, specifically referred to as "this pouf", provided extra seating or footrest options. A room divider, lightweight screens or curtains, further partitioned spaces flexibly without crowding. The use of longer curtains and light-colored walls helped maximize vertical space and natural light, and strategic mirror placement opened up the room visually.
As we conclude our tour, it's worth mentioning that the article also features a beautiful light Swedish Villa bathed in sunlight, as well as a Boho loft apartment in a converted Stockholm warehouse. The article, published by Stadshem, offers a wealth of inspiration for those seeking to create a tranquil and functional space, regardless of the size.
