This gorgeous turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden (Styled by and , photographed by for ) is a perfect showcase of how dark walls can make such a stylish, dramatic expression in space that gets a lot of daylight.
The shared living and sleeping space is painted in a black wall color with a blue undertone, which makes the white crown molding and the window frames stand out beautifully.
The kitchen has contrasting black cabinets paired with a stainless steel countertop and a dining table with vintage chairs in the middle. One side of the kitchen is finished with a beautiful wallpaper design that continues into the entryway section of this one-bedroom apartment.
A living and sleeping space with a dark blue-black wall color
The characteristic wall color used in the living space is black with a subtle blue undertone, which fits the space wonderfully and makes the gorgeous white crown molding underneath the ceilings stand out in such a powerful way.
The sheer white curtains paired with the white fabric sofa, beige fluffy area rug, and the white IKEA Besta cabinet lighten up the palette in the sofa area.
The white base palette in the sofa area is paired with a mixture of subtle wood tones in the small furniture pieces and a beautiful combination of beige, green, and grey tones in the throw pillows on the sofa.
The sleeping area on the other side pairs the same color palette of textiles on the bed connecting the two functional areas together visually.
The large standing mirror next to the bed reflects the space and together with the vintage portrait, it adds a classic note to the style of this space.
By the white historic door, a white cabinet and a peg rail stand out against the dark wall color and from this angle, you can really see the blue undertone in the paint color appear.
