Hooray for a brand new week (though I’ve seen more than a few tired faces around Malmö this morning…).
To give this Monday a much-needed boost, I thought I’d share a colour-drenched Stockholm apartment that’s bursting with personality.
We’re talking deep, earthy pinks, greens, oranges, yellows, and blues. But true to Swedish style, there’s a calmness to it all too—a sense of balance. Think springtime blooms in full swing, windows thrown open to let in that fresh April air.
Keep an eye out for the curtains in the bedroom and hallway—used in place of doors to add softness and flow to the space. I also spotted a built-in desk and chair tucked into the closet. Such a clever idea for a dressing table in a small space—just add a mirror and some great lighting!
Throughout the apartment, there’s a lovely blend of high street finds and designer touches—like IKEA cabinets and Flowerpot lamps—which keeps the look sophisticated yet relaxed. The kind of place you’d love to come home to after a busy day in the capital: kick off your shoes, put your feet up, and unwind.

Such clever decorating—with the same colours popping up in every room. They dominate in some spaces, and act as accents in others, which really helps to pull the whole look together.
Did you spot how the owners used clever paintwork above the sofa? Pipes and shelves are painted the same colour as the wall so they blend in, adding a lovely sense of calm. I also loved the library wrapping around the corner—such a smart and cosy touch.
The art is interesting throughout, too. I found myself paying particular attention to it in each image!
Was there anything that stood out to you and drew you in? Any ideas you might take away and try in your own home?
