Simple and Effective: Country House Interior in Sweden

In this country house in Gothenburg, there are three floors including the basement, and only four rooms. The house was built in the 1920s along with similar typical Swedish houses nearby, and a beautiful garden with pink bushes, lilacs, and apple trees was created on the property.

Recently, the house was put up for sale, and to make the interior attractive to potential buyers, designers working on its appearance decided to focus on simple yet effective techniques and solutions.

One of the house's main assets is a fireplace in the living room. To seamlessly integrate its appearance into the setting, designers painted the walls white, like the fireplace unit, and maintained the graphite portal with contrasting pictures on the walls, dark cushions on the sofa, black table lamps, and glass bookcase accessories.

Next to the living room is a kitchen, which can be glimpsed not only through the door opening but also through a window between the rooms. Against white walls, the dark wood of the kitchen cabinets stand out especially effectively. To slightly soften the contrasts, designers hung lighter wooden shelves nearby and added graphic accessories.

By climbing the stairs upstairs, you can discover two bedrooms – a children's and a master bedroom. Pink and grey is a classic and well-performing combination, so designers chose these colors for the palette, not breaking the overall restrained concept of the interior.

Although the master bedroom is in grey tones, it is also based on contrasts. The furnishings are selected according to another proven principle: the more expressive textures, the better. Velvet headboard, wicker bench and storage baskets, brass wall sconces, and cotton bedding blend well with each other to make the bedroom cozy and tactile.

The basement has some space for relaxation, but the main area is occupied by a spacious laundry and bathroom. Here, classic white tiles are complemented with marble and slate motifs, brass fixtures, and accessories. These materials age beautifully, so the setting here is not only simple and effective but also durable.
