House with practical layout that you will love

This two-story house in the Stockholm suburbs was built on a modest plot of land measuring five hundred square meters. To comfortably organize space for a large family, the decision was made to build a rectangular building with two floors and use the basement.

On the first floor, family areas were arranged: a small hallway, a spacious kitchen and a living room with a fireplace. There was also space for a children's bedroom and a guest room with access to the veranda. An additional room was equipped on the basement floor next to the laundry and bathroom.

The second floor accommodates the owners' private room, office, and bathroom. There are four bedrooms in total in the house.

Pay attention to how functional zones are arranged relative to the entrance into the house. For example, the noisy living room and kitchen are located near the entrance. Bedrooms with bathrooms are situated in the back of the house, away from the staircase and hallway—this way, children's sleep is not disturbed even during family gatherings.

The interiors of the house are in a classic Scandinavian style: white walls, wooden floors and minimalism. However, despite the simple decoration, there are vibrant details in the house. For example, a blue sofa and red designer cabinet—a perfect color combination!

On the kitchen, due to white furniture, large windows, and no bulky ceiling cabinets above the work surface, designers saved on lighting—there are almost no light fixtures here. For evening relaxation, a table lamp and functional lighting over the countertop are sufficient.

The bedrooms are spacious, so each has its own storage system: closed and open. This is more convenient than one wardrobe for all. To save space, some wardrobes and shelves were placed in niches.

Bathroom finishes are maximally practical: white tiles on the walls and black on the floor. The austerity is compensated by wooden decor—a shelf, mirror frame—and woven baskets for storage.

However, the entrance hall is large. It's convenient to leave muddy shoes here, hide a baby stroller overnight, or throw wet umbrellas.

There is also a small utility shed on the plot. A living fence instead of a fence nicely hides the house from strangers.
