SEE THIS HOUSE: SWEET ON A SWEDISH FLAT!

November 23, 2010
  • Share

Living room in an apartment in Sweeden with herringbone wood floor, carved crown molding, decorative ceiling medallions, a white sofa with a matching armchair, brown rug, white coffee table, an easel and a brown chest of drawers

Love this lovely flat for sale in Sweden…shown on Alvehm Makleri & Interior. It is fresh, airy and cheerful. The devil is in the architectural detail here with the herringbone wood floor, carved crown molding, the decorative ceiling medallions, tall paneled doors and more. Love it! (Going to see how many times I can say the word “love” or a variation there of in one post…). Take a look…

    You hit the nail on the head – it’s the architectural details that makes it – these furnishings in a less distinguished space would look lost but here it’s a wonderful contrast!

    The bookshelves and “office space” in the 5th photo are too simple for my taste. To me, they are like mere skeletal figures trying to look beautiful in a wedding dress. If the shelves had the door such as the set across the room and the desk set was a little less “garage sale” find looking, it would work better.

    I love the windows, the floors and the white walls. I put dark wood floors in my living/dining rooms and am wishing I’d chosen light ones like these instead.

    The floors are gorgeous – it’s all about the light in this apartment. I would give anything to live with that much light.

    I’m not saying their decor isn’t nice, but it hardly matters what you put into that space as the architecture is so amazingly beautiful!

    I recently discovered that I’m a huge fan of herringbone floors. Huge! Love the giant windows as well… that much light in one space is something to envy!

    The furniture choices don’t knock my socks off but the place looks comfortable and homey. I would’ve added some color… with that much light, strong color is totally doable. 🙂

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
