A Beautiful Swedish Home Tour with A Smart Bathroom Makeover
Tjena! Hur är läget? Do you have awkward angles at home? Perhaps a sloped ceiling that’s causing you decorating strife? If so, you might just find inspiration in Natalie’s lovely Swedish home.
Natalie (known as @huslyftet on Instagram) and her partner are true decorating wizards – and they don’t do things by halves. Not only did they lift their entire house and move it two and a half metres (eight feet) across the lawn, but they also added an extension before transforming the entire living space to create a truly personal haven.
Today, their pretty, light-filled home features a wonderful array of whimsical floral wallpaper, providing the perfect backdrop for traditional kitchen cabinetry, vintage furniture, and personal touches. But what really caught my eye is the bathroom. Tucked under the sloped roof, the awkward angles made it a tricky build, but with some clever design work, they created the most beautiful space – complete with a shower, bath, and twin basins.
So, pour yourself a coffee and get comfy – here’s the full tour, along with a peek at the before-and-after shots of the bathroom!
I was so excited to see this armchair. I once picked up a pair exactly like this at a ‘loppis’ (flea market) here in Malmö. Sadly, they were in quite bad disrepair and I couldn’t afford to get them reupholstered so I gave them away, but I always wondered who made them. Maybe now I’ll find out!
The guest bathroom door can be spotted in to the right of the above picture. This is what it looks like inside:
I love how Natalie has picked out tones from the William Morris wallpaper and matched them with accessories like towels – very pretty!
Note the built-in cupboards and drawers in the master bedroom to the right which make use of every inch of space.
The bathroom
And now friends, as promised, it’s time to take a peek at the bathroom. The before pictures (or should I say, the picture of the shell of the room just as the work started) gives a great idea of the shape of the room. not an easy space!
And here, is the after. Practical (note the amount of storage), pretty and in keeping with the rest of the house.
Such a lovely home!
I really loved the craftsmanship in the bathroom – and how they created such slim cabinetry to make the space of what would have otherwise been dead space. If anyone else has teenage girls like I do, you’d understand the need for PLENTY of storage!
Is there anything that stood out to you about Natalie’s home?
There are lots more corners to discover over on her inspiring instagram feed here.
Update– here are some of the wallpapers and paint colours used this home:
