House Under a Sloped Roof: Idea for a Cottage

This apartment is located in a mansard in Goteborg by the canal. It has 55 square meters: a small bedroom, a spacious kitchen-dining room, and a cozy nook — a place for reading. You can create exactly the same setup in those corners of your house where there are no windows, even on the attic.

The interior is traditionally Scandinavian — white is in charge. But there are also bright accents.

The living room in the apartment is combined with the kitchen. To zone the space, the white kitchen and dining room were separated by a light wood inset. The same wood was used for storage systems. Natural daylight illuminates the entire space thanks to large windows: a great idea for a cottage.

The bedroom is small, but the light from the mansard window fills the entire space, visually making it larger. Everything here follows the Scandinavian design idea: nothing extra.

The bathroom is spacious (even very so!). The effect is achieved by daylight from the window, artificial lighting from light spots, and a large mirror covering the entire niche. Interestingly, there is even a separate mini-laundry room in the bathroom, usually located on the ground floor of a house.

The hallway is spacious for the apartment’s size. It was zoned with gray tiles. A suspended coat rack was placed at the entrance. An excellent solution to avoid using up space with a separate closet. Even a built-in wardrobe was hidden here. Thanks to the white facade, it fully blends into the wall.
