Can a single piece of art transform a home? I think so! I absolutely love a statement piece and firmly believe it can completely change not only a room, but the feeling of an entire apartment. Better still, it can become the starting point for your scheme, inspiring the colours and mood throughout the rest of the home.
In this apartment in Vasastan, Stockholm, there’s something even more unusual: a striking work of art above the kitchen worktop (could it be by Milton Avery?). I love it! It’s unexpected, instantly gives the space its own personality, and makes the home feel completely unique.
There are plenty of other details to admire too, of course. The butter-yellow kitchen cabinets (quickly becoming one of the most on-trend shades), the cosy window nook, the mid-blue bedroom wall (both seem to have become MSH staples of late!), and the olive green velvet sofa all caught my eye. I also love the way the owner has mixed clean Scandinavian lines with warmer, more expressive touches—it makes the space feel both calm and full of character.
All in all, I think it’s the perfect apartment to celebrate the impending weekend with. Enjoy the tour!
Do you have a large statement piece of art in your home? If so, I’d love to hear about it! Where does it hang, and did it influence the rest of your décor?
Was there anything else that caught your eye about this lovely Swedish home?
In other news… last week I said this would be my final post before taking a couple of weeks off-but it turns out I spoke too soon! I’ve had a little re-jiggle behind the scenes because an exciting home landed in my inbox today, and I simply couldn’t resist sharing it with you. So, there’ll be one more week here on MSH before I take my summer break. I hope you’ll pop by and join me!
Until then, have a wonderful weekend, and thank you so much for stopping by. See you Monday!

PS If you have a child heading off to college and currently planning their room, you might like to take a look at the feature I wrote for IKEA here.
