A Tour of a Lovely Gothenburg Flat (or Lägenhet!) - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Tour of a Lovely Gothenburg Flat (or Lägenhet!).

The other day I was scrolling through Instagram and someone had shared a carousel of four enormous homes, asking which one we’d choose if we won the lottery. I was pleased to see that many people in the comments felt the same as I did – none of them. They were all just far too big.

There’s something wonderfully cosy about a smaller home, and this Swedish space is furnished so thoughtfully. It may be compact  with the bedroom, dining area and kitchen all rolling into one, yet it still feels calm, considered and wonderfully lived-in.

What really draws me in here is the mix of pared-back Scandinavian simplicity with those softer, more personal layers. The clean-lined kitchen and whitewashed floors set a quiet backdrop, while warm wood furniture, woven textures and that lovely paper lantern bring in a gentle, relaxed warmth. I also love the open metal shelving (so popular right now) and that slightly eclectic mix of everyday objects – ceramics, books, plants.

It’s the little details that make it, too – the red wall lamp and the colourful rug breaking up the neutral palette, the trailing greenery, the blend of vintage and modern pieces sitting side by side. It all feels very effortless, but still intentional. 

Ready to take the tour? 



That desk chair is fascinating, don't you think? It reminds me of a set of panpipes! I tried a quick google image search but I couldn't find the source - do you know anything about it? if so, please do share away in the comments! 

Is there anything that stood out to you about this lovely flat? I was enjoying reading through the recent comments yesterday and came across one that mentioned the word “apartment” usually refers to a rental in the USA, so today I opted for “flat” :) – a nod to my London upbringing. In Swedish, it’s called a “lägenhet.”

Here are a few more "lägenheter" to tour today - and they all belong to talented people I know! 

My friend Igor's charming Berlin apartment
Alisan's serene Copenhagen apartment
The studio of Swedish furniture upholsterer Carina Grefmar

Thank you so much for dropping by, as always!

A Peek Inside Rene Humphrey’s Evolving Family Home in Malmö - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Peek Inside Rene Humphrey’s Evolving Family Home in Malmö. It’s Friday, friends – yay! I’m keeping it local today… very local, in fact! A few weeks ago, I moved into a new studio on Lilla Torg – a picturesque old square right in the heart of Malmö. I feel so lucky to be sharing the space with some truly lovely, inspiring, funny, and all-round awesome people – one of whom is Rene Humphrey . Rene has a background in landscape garden design and now works as an interior designer and stylist . Needless to say, the home she shares with her partner Aron and their two little girls, Bonnie (4) and Billie (3), is beautiful in every way. Set in a leafy villa area, the family moved to the house in 2022. Since then, Rene has been adding her signature touch to the space with an earthy palette, lush textures, and a wonderful sense of warmth. She also loves playing with shape and symmetry, bringing depth and personality to each r...

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...
