Small spaces: a little summer cottage in the heart of the city - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Small spaces: a little summer cottage in the heart of the city .
Cycling through Malmö, it's exciting to see all the bright green leaves spring to life on the trees after many months of dormancy. And across town, allotment season has begun! I was amazed to discover that Swedish allotments often have 'kolonistuga' - small inhabitable cottages in which you can live from late spring to early Autumn, providing a country oasis in the heart of the city. Do you have something similar in your country?

This pretty cottage was on the market last year and I was excited to see it snapped up by Hannes Mauritzson (who's apartment I once featured here). Located on 'Slottsskogskolonien' in Gothenburg, which I believe is the same allotment area as Elin Lannsjö's charming allotment, the cottage measures a teeny 27 m2 / 290 f2. Hannes has applied his own signature touch to the little cottage using a lick of paint and vintage touches - while some of the original wood still shines through. Take a quick peek at how it looked when Hannes bought it and then scroll down to see how the pretty cottage looks today! 

What a perfect place to tend to blooms, maybe grow a few veg, sip rosé and sleep over the summer, don't you think? His faithful four-legged friend Charlie certainly looks content! 

And just in case the Swedish weather gods aren't playing nicely (fair chance!) - there's always the wood burning stove too! 

Would you like to see more allotment cottages today? I've featured quite a few in the past: 

A truly idyllic Swedish allotment cottage
A charming little summer cottage in the heart of the city
Lovely details in a Danish allotment cottage
An endearing cabin on a Danish allotment

I hope these lovely spaces have filled you with inspiration today.

A Dreamy Lakeside Swedish Cabin Escape on Airbnb - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Dreamy Lakeside Swedish Cabin Escape on Airbnb. It’s Fredag (Friday), the sun is shining, and after a few days at our cabin over the Labour Day holiday watching blackbirds and oystercatchers roam around our garden, I’m fully immersed in the Swedish nature. In a country with just 10 million people (not far off the population of London) and land that stretches 1,574km (978 miles) from north to south, it’s easy to find the perfect solitude. If you’re planning a visit, there are plenty of idyllic and remote Airbnbs to be found – like this gem. Tucked away in a forest clearing in Näsum, Skåne (southern Sweden), LakeView Cabin is a classic Swedish wooden cottage that’s been lovingly renovated with a fresh, minimalist yet comfy feel. With it's own pier and bathing deck, it's perfect for those who love a morgondopp (that bracing pre-breakfast dip!), plus there’s an outdoor shower and a sauna for warming up afterw...

Dreaming of Summer: A Gotland Island Retreat with a Pool - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Dreaming of Summer: A Gotland Island Retreat with a Pool. It's grey and cold in Malmö today. In moments like this, nothing lifts my spirits more than dreaming of summer—when I think Sweden shows its finest side.  A few summers ago, my family and I went on a sailing trip up the east coast of Sweden. Halfway through, we almost abandoned ship due to bad weather. We had two choices: leave the boat where it was and come back for it once the wind had died down and the sun reappeared, or turn the trip into an exciting adventure and set sail for the Baltic island of Gotland. We chose the latter, and it became a journey I'll never forget ( see my guide ). Blessed with wildflowers, rugged nature, and incredible light, Gotland is dotted with pretty villages, beachside restaurants, and countless artist ateliers—making it impossible not to fall in love with the island. Needless to say, I've been dreaming about return...

Step Inside Frederika’s Relaxed and Artistic Stockholm Home - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Step Inside Frederika’s Relaxed and Artistic Stockholm Home. Tjena! Hur är läget? There’s nothing quite like a cozy home that feels truly lived in. Of course, most homes are full of life in reality—but when it comes to photos, they’re often tidied up for the camera: clutter cleared, paintings straightened, wires neatly tucked away. As co-founder of the Stockholm-based photography and production agency Sylvie , Frederika Palmstierna is no stranger to beautifully styled and captured interiors. But when it comes to her private Instagram, she prefers a more spontaneous approach—sharing glimpses of her home whenever the mood strikes. It might be a view of her kitchen’s gallery wall as she sips her morning coffee or a snapshot of her dog snoozing on the bed. And in every frame, her unique sense of interior style shines through. Think mix-and-match dining chairs, charming oil paintings, sculptural figurines, seashells, s...
