The subtle decor in this small one-bedroom apartment in Sweden works so nicely against the white walls and makes the space appear bigger than it actually is. The main room in the apartment contains a sofa section, a sleeping area, and a small home office spot, without it feeling crowded and this is mainly because of the light color palette and the subtle decor in the space.

Natural tones and subtle decor in the sofa area

The sofa area is marked by a beautiful wall rug above it, which adds so much texture to the white walls. The Ikea Soderhamn sofa with a Bemz custom cover* works nicely with the off-white area rug and the round oak wood coffee table adds a beautiful warm tone to the setting.

An Ikea Malm dresser is used as a sideboard in the living room, while also offering ample storage space for clothes since this room also has a sleeping area.

A stylish sleeping area with a gallery wall and lots of textiles

Even though the bed stands relatively close to the other functional areas in this one room, it’s visually separated from the other areas by wedging the bed in between a gallery wall and a small wooden bedside table. The warm color palette in the textiles and the prints enhance the white palette of the bedsheets and the walls, while the wall lamp adds the perfect reading light above the bed.

A home office spot in natural tones

Right next to the sofa, you can find a small home office spot made out of an Ikea Lisabo desk in light wood and an &Tradition Pavillion chair in walnut wood with a black frame. I love the way the light and the dark wood complement each other against the white walls.

The standing mirror reflects the home office spot and makes the space appear bigger.

A simple white kitchen and a cozy dining area

The kitchen is simple, yet the accessories make it look interesting and personal. The white subway tile backsplash combined with the white cabinets and the black countertop gives the space a contrasting look, while the open shelving adds a nice spot to display accessories.

The small round HAY Copenhagen dining table combined with the white Ant chairs blend into the white plank floors, while the wood detailing on the table legs and the single bentwood chair adds a soft tone to the setting.

The black Flowerpot pendant above the table adds a lovely point of contrast that also comes back in the elegant art print on the wall. Part of the original kitchen that used to be in the apartment is also still present and I love the play between vintage and new in the two kitchen modules.

The peg rail by the dining table is a stylish visual element against the white walls, makes for a subtle decor and you can use it to store pretty kitchen essentials: win-win.
