A White Swedish Apartment with Lovely Outdoor Lounge Area

The leaves are starting to unfurl in Sweden which means gardens and balconies have been a hive of activity: sweeping, pruning, scrubbing down furniture – you name it. While we know in our hearts of hearts that the temperatures could very well plummet later this week, there’s an optimism in the air that lunches alfresco are just around the corner!

That’s is probably why this fresh white apartment in Gothenburg caught my eye. It has all the trappings of an ideal My Scandinavian Home contender: a lovely mix of old and new, Scandi design pieces (keep a look out for the vintage Dux chair and Frama stool) and plenty of plants. But also, the small garden has been converted into a charming outdoor sitting room – complete with sofa, coffee table and parasol, offering the perfect place to relax with a book on a sunny afternoon.

Välkommen!

Here’s the floor plan in case you’re curious:

Glossary: Kök – kitchen, Sovrum – bedroom, Bad – bathroom, Vardagsrum – sitting room, klädkammare / förråd – wardrobe / wardrobe, and uteplats – outdoor space.

Lovely! So fresh, yet with a touch of charm.

I think the garden design is really clever, with a semi-circular bush shielding the space from the communal pathway.

Is there anything that stood out to you about this Swedish home?

Wishing you all a great start to the week!
