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 was created on the plot with pink bushes, lilacs, and apple trees.

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

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

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

By climbing the stairs upstairs, one can find two bedrooms – a child's room and a master bedroom. Pink and grey is a classic and well-performing combination, so designers settled on these colors in their palette, without disrupting the overall restrained concept of the interior.

Despite the master bedroom being in grey tones, it is also built on contrasts. The furnishings materials were selected according to another proven principle: the more expressive textures, the better. Velvet headboard, wicker bench and storage baskets, brass wall lights, and cotton bedding blend well with each other, making the bedroom cozy and tactile.

The basement has some space for relaxation, but the main area is occupied by a spacious laundry and shower room. Here, classic white tile finishes were complemented with marble and slate motifs, brass mixers, and accessories. These materials age beautifully, so the setting here turned out not only simple and effective but also long-lasting.
