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 other typical Swedish houses nearby, and a beautiful garden with pink bushes, lilacs, and apple trees was created on the plot.

Recently, the house was put up for sale, and to make the interior appealing to potential buyers, designers working on its appearance decided to rely on simple but 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, as well as the fireplace cabinet, and supported the graphite portal with contrasting wall paintings, 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 doorway but also through a window between the rooms. Against white walls, the dark wood of the kitchen cabinets stand out particularly effectively. To slightly soften the contrast, designers hung lighter wooden shelves nearby and added graphic accessories.

By climbing the stairs upstairs, two bedrooms can be found — a child's room and a master bedroom. Pink and grey is a classic and well-performing combination, so designers chose these colors for the palette, not disrupting the overall restrained concept of the interior.

Despite the master bedroom being in shades of grey, it is also built on contrasts. The furnishings materials 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 create a cozy and tactile bedroom.

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