A Stockholm Home with a Very Pretty Hint of Blush | Smart is Beauty

Are you up for a little blush today? It seems to be a popular colour of late, and I’m completely here for it.

Set within an Art Nouveau building dating back to 1905, this Stockholm apartment is a beautiful example of how to blend softness with character. A palette of green, blush, and warm neutrals runs throughout, with subtle touches of deeper rust tones adding just the right amount of contrast and depth.

The living area feels instantly inviting after a long day, thanks to the oversized neutral sofa, layered with textured cushions and a big chunky knit blanket. And I’m really loving the mix of materials here, boucle, woven fabrics, and wool, all working together to create that cosy, lived-in feel.

Just beyond, the kitchen introduces a gentle hit of blush through glossy tiled walls (so good!), which bounce light around the room beautifully. I like how it's been paired with muted green accents seen in the lighting and plants, as well as the window frames. Despite its modern feel, there’s also a lovely sense of tradition here (note the classic grey cabinetry and row of copper pans), which keeps everything in harmony with the building’s heritage.

Down the hall, you’ll find a master bedroom, guest room, and children’s room, all featuring some seriously fun paintwork. I’m so curious to hear your thoughts on the colour-drenched room — it’s not something I’d personally go for, but I love how bold and daring it is!! Sometimes it's fun to go all out, don't you think? 

Let’s take a little peek…

Some very cool use of colour here, don't you think? But to be honest, what i loved the most was the view of the sofa with the kitchen behind and the beautiful hallway with its soft arches and hint of colour seen through the bedroom doors.

I'd love to hear what stood out most to you about this Stockholm home! 

It's so interesting how pink has shown up in interiors over the years. Here are a few fun examples: 

2017 trend - pinks big comeback

A rose tinted Swedish home
A cool yet calm rose-tinted French home
Hygge and pops of colour (including pink) in a danish home

Are you a fan of pink? I've always been partial to a touch of pale pink here and there!

Have a happy mid-week!
