Transformation of an Ancient Swedish Farmstead into a Charming Summer Retreat
A Gentle Return to Swedish Summer Cottage Life
In a delightful transformation, a Swedish summer cottage has been redesigned, offering a fresh take on country-style living. The sitting room, once a hodgepodge of mismatched furniture, has been streamlined for both comfort and practicality, while the bedroom boasts a new look with the installation of Tulippa wallpaper.
The sitting room, now a haven of tranquility, has had its design overhauled to promote a more cozy and inviting atmosphere. The furniture has been replaced, with each piece carefully chosen to blend seamlessly, creating a harmonious space that exudes a sense of calm. The mix and match approach, so popular in Swedish summer cottages, has been embraced, allowing for a flexible and personalized space that reflects the natural and relaxed style typical of such homes.
The bedroom, too, has been reimagined, offering a sanctuary from the summer's heat. The wallpaper, a beautiful addition, adds a touch of elegance and softness to the room, enhancing the overall comfort.
The outhouse, an essential part of any summer cottage, has also undergone a transformation. Its design has been changed to reflect a more idyllic Norwegian island getaway style, adding a touch of exoticism to the property.

This renovation serves as a testament to the practicality and comfort of mix and match furniture in a Swedish summer cottage setting. By thoughtfully combining different furniture pieces that span styles, colors, and vintages, designers have created spaces that are both inviting and functional, perfect for the summer season and beyond.
The redesign of the Swedish summer cottage extends to the bedroom, where a new lifestyle is unfolding with the installation of Tulippa wallpaper, enhancing the overall comfort and reflecting the natural, relaxed style synonymous with these homes. This spaces' transformation also reaches the outhouse, which now embodies a Norwegian island getaway style, adding an exotic charm to the property. The home-improvement project, beautifully captured by Johanna Carlsson's photography, showcases how home-and-garden design can successfully blend country-style living with a touch of elegance, creating an interior-design that is both inviting and functional in a charming Swedish summer cottage setting.
