Today’s home tour is an apartment in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. It was the beautiful beige living room that first caught my attention with it’s contrast of modern and mid-century furniture. The beige theme is continued throughout the home, giving it the home warmth and feeling of cosiness.
Much like the majority of Scandinavian homes, this apartment isn’t large, measuring under 700 sq ft (64 sqm). It has a main bedroom, a second small bedroom and a small living/dining room with the kitchen in the corridor, just off the living area. But as always with Scandi homes, size is never a barrier to creating a home that is stylish, clutter-free and practical.
Speaking of black, the colours in this living and dining room are made up of my current favourite combination. Beige walls with black and white accents.

The colour scheme here is the same as the rest of the home. This room has been simply decorated with a couple of artworks and plants that add interest without cluttering up the space.
It was the modern beige living room that first drew me to this Scandi home. With all the sculptural details and the beautiful colour scheme, it looks pretty stunning! What do you think?
