A Swedish City Home In Soothing Shades | Smart is Beauty

It's Friday friends, woohoooo! This week on the blog we've visited a Swedish country house with a fabulous party barn (who's in?) and a summer cottage on the island of Öland (with a pool and available to rent!). So today I thought it was time to head to the city. This duplex in Sweden's second largest city of Gothenburg is full of inspiration. 

Think soft tones of dusty pink  as well as earthy greens and a deep blue shade, all of which help to create a soothing feel. Also, it's worth paying attention to the wonderful mix of furniture which includes a limited-edition IKEA x Ilse Crawford daybed (remember that collection?) to designer Wishbone chairs as well as several mid-century pieces.

If you're looking for small space inspiration, the owners have made clever use of space under the sloped ceilings in the bedroom and created a really stylish small bathroom complete with washing machine! Ready to take a look? 

I don't think I'll ever tire of a deep earthy blue-grey, it's such a timeless shade and adds so much character to a room. Notice how it's been used in the bedroom - blowing the 'light colours in small spaces' rule out of the water! I also appreciate how the chest-of-drawers has been painted in the same colour as the walls to ensure a calm feel. 

The bathroom is also fabulous - successfully incorporating a washing machine into an already tight space. And although an investment, the marble top really helps to elevate the look. 

Is there anything that stood out to you?
