If you happen to have a lean 3.5 million bucks in your pocket and don’t mind driving 25 minutes east of Stockholm, Sweden, boy oh boy, have I found a traditional Swedish Houseย for you. ย (And yes, I do actually house hunt in foreign countries for fun… while I’m not house hunting or house selling in my own hood with clients. ย I am a woman of singular interests!)
Forget the price tag for just a minute and inhale this home slowlyย with a nice deep breath. ย It’s packed with trends you may see coming across the water soon and there are some design ideas you can steal that will fit in any budget! ย Plus, I think modern Scandinavian design gets a lot of air time, but they are quite ingenious with traditional and transitional design as well!
Plants: I know. ย I talk about them all the time. ย But they make such a huge impact for so little money! ย Find Similar pot here.
A Kvanum kitchen is proof that the shaker style kitchen is classic. ย (I love that they paired it with IKEA chairs!)
Aga is forever! ย And so is subway tile, even in a traditional kitchen!
Modern sofas are brilliant with classic and tailored lines. ย A beautiful blanket gives it pop!
A cozy seating area is perfect for drinks with friends or a game night by the fire! ย These tufted chairs + this mirror!
And did you notice those herringbone floors? ย These floors are more expensive to install, but they are possible in the US!
I may be biased since we have this SAME set-up, but a traditional table + modern chairs is awesome! (Especially for clean up!)
Expect more Floral Wallpaper! ย I know. ย Kind of crazy, but I’m not the only one digging it!
Craftsmen style spindles are fast replacing the wrought iron ones and a black lacquered railing is timeless.
Did I mention wallpaper? ย Here are a few options for everyone!
So glad I’m not the only one digging the vanity!
Classic Scandinavia… a room with a view… and cozy vintage chairs, too!
If one room with a view isn’t enough…
Go for the clawfoot tub. ย The decanters with soap in them is genius!
Do you think we will be seeing more black and white flooring? ย I hope so!
Laura Ashley still does wallpaper for a reason. ย Sigh…
We finish off our tour in the basement, with lime washed walls, stone floors, a wine cellar and it’s very own indoor pool. ย #wow #basementgoals
I’m definitely in need of a break on the American porch (the listing agent’s way of describing it!)
What do you think? ย Any trend you hope will find it’s way to your home?
