Lovisa's Alluring 20th Century Abode: A Swedish Family Residence
A Dreamy Swedish Home Blends Scandinavian Minimalism and Bohemian Charm
In the heart of Stockholm, Sweden, a dreamy 20th century villa has been transformed into a space that effortlessly combines the best of Scandinavian minimalism and bohemian charm. This enchanting residence, reminiscent of something straight out of a fairytale, is the subject of an article published by Sköna Hem.
Photographed and styled by Anna Karlsson and Anna Bjelkholm, respectively, the villa is not the only residence featured in the piece. Another charming dwelling, a lovely turn-of-the-century apartment, also graces the pages of the publication.
The villa, with its high ceilings and large windows, boasts open, airy loft spaces that are flooded with natural light, reflecting the original architectural elements of the converted building. The eclectic layering of textures and materials, such as rattan, metal, wool, wood, and soft fabrics, contributes to a bohemian, comfortable vibe.
Functional yet artistic furniture choices can be seen throughout the villa. Industrial-style IKEA pieces, like the FJÄLLBO and STOCKHOLM collections, are combined with personalized decorations such as woven baskets, indoor plants, and gallery-style art walls. The natural and muted earthy tones dominate the color palette, with warm wood finishes and greenery adding vibrancy and softness.
Creative storage solutions, blending open shelving with concealed cabinets, maintain an uncluttered yet personalized feel. Multi-use areas inside the open loft, such as cozy workstations by windows and living areas fitted with layered curtains to soften and frame the space, add to the villa's charm.
The apartment, also located in Stockholm, follows a similar design ethos. Its functional yet artistic furniture choices, eclectic layering of textures and materials, and natural and muted earthy tones create a cozy, lived-in atmosphere that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Specific to the villa, the Cappelen Dimyr rug is a prominent feature. The Välkommen in! design, created by Lovisa Hillhammar, includes a selection of accessories, not just wall mounted candlestick holders, which can be found in both residences. A Flos lamp, specifically a model from the brand, is also part of the Välkommen in! design.

This design style balances structure and softness, light and dark, reflecting a Scandinavian influence with a bohemian edge, maintaining a sense of warmth and individuality in spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
