Sebastian Bergström’s Vibrant Swedish Apartment A Burst of Color in a Cozy Space
Sebastian Bergström’s Vibrant Swedish Apartment A Burst of Color in Every Corner
If you think small spaces can’t be packed with personality and style, think again! The Stockholm apartment of Sebastian Bergström is here to prove you wrong. Bursting with vibrant colors, his tiny abode is a fashion lover’s dream come true. Green, yellow, and red are his go-to colors because, as he puts it, they make him “happier than a kid in a candy store.” And let’s just say, his sister and nephew who live across the hall from him definitely benefit from his cheery decor. They even have a breakfast and lunch routine that’s as delightful as it sounds. How cute is that?
But let’s not waste any more time and delve into the glorious tour of Sebastian’s apartment, shall we?
LIVING ROOM
Sebastian’s living room is a testament to his love for inspiring movies. He draws inspiration from Nancy Meyers’s films, particularly “Something’s Gotta Give” and “It’s Complicated.” With an abundance of lamps, candles, and flowers, the interiors exude a cozy and welcoming vibe that feels like home.
To create an illusion of space in his compact living room, Sebastian has a clever trick up his sleeve. Instead of cluttering the area with furniture, he opts for shelves adorned with lamps, books, and various knick-knacks. It’s like a magical optical illusion that makes the room both bigger and cozier at the same time. Talk about having your cake and eating it too!
And let’s not forget the adorable four-legged companion, Herman. This furry roommate is hands down the best dog Sebastian could have dreamed of. From being a champion sleeper to accompanying Sebastian on city adventures, Herman brings pure joy to his life. The evening ritual of carrying tired Herman down the stairs to the garden, with the little pup resting his head on Sebastian’s shoulder, is just too precious for words. It’s moments like these that truly warm the heart!
But there’s more to this living room than meets the eye. Sebastian knows how to keep his walls from feeling cluttered. While he creates a grand gallery wall in one corner, the other walls remain relatively bare, striking the perfect balance and adding a touch of sophistication to the space. And let’s not forget his love for different shapes. Circular pillows, oval mirrors, and his latest obsession with scallops add an extra layer of visual interest to the room. It’s all about mixing it up, fashionably!
KITCHEN
Living alone definitely has its perks, and Sebastian knows how to enjoy every single one of them. From blasting loud music to singing at the top of his lungs, he revels in the freedom of being the sole ruler of his musical kingdom. And let’s not forget the joy of decorating his apartment exactly the way he wants it. It’s like having a blank canvas ready to be transformed into a work of art.
Living in Stockholm has been a childhood dream come true for Sebastian. The magical nature scattered throughout Sweden, especially in the north, with its refreshing air, enchanting forests, and slower pace of life, makes him feel safe and content. And the kindness of the people adds an extra sprinkle of charm to this picturesque city.
Now, let’s talk about morning rituals. Sebastian takes breakfast seriously, and his morning routine is a delightful feast for the senses. Two slices of Wasa Sport crispbread topped with butter, cheese, and veggies. A bowl of yogurt, honey, granola, walnuts, and blueberries. Coffee and a refreshing glass of juice. Every day, like a ritualistic ceremony, he treats himself to this heavenly breakfast. No wonder his days start off on the right foot!
BATHROOM
When it comes to favorite companies and brands, Sebastian has his eye on the Swedish brand Svenskt Tenn. Their vibrant displays, filled with colors that are not commonly seen in Sweden, have captured his heart. He also admires the works of Matilda Goad and The Cook’s Atelier. And guess what? Sebastian is even opening his very own interiors shop called Bientôt next year. Talk about owning your passion!
When it comes to shopping for art, Sebastian loves exploring local vintage shops. You never know what hidden treasures you might stumble upon. Fruit, flowers, and landscapes are his go-to themes when it comes to selecting art pieces. And the best part? None of his artwork is expensive. It’s all about finding unique pieces that speak to his heart.
BEDROOM
Sebastian’s bedroom nook is his personal oasis of tranquility. His bed, always perfectly made, invites him to relax and unwind after a long day. But here’s his secret tip: the pillows. Paying special attention to arranging them just right brings an instant touch of elegance to the bed. It’s all about creating a cozy and welcoming space where dreams come true.
As Sebastian reflects on his dream apartment, he acknowledges the immense gratitude he feels for having a safe haven to call home. It’s a feeling that’s hard to put into words but warms his heart every day.
And with that, we say a big thank you to Sebastian for letting us peek into his colorful and charming world. It’s been an absolute delight!
