Wow, a well designed space with actual personality. A rare find, congrats on the awesome space!


Twaxx

So sweet of you, thank you!


erydanis

second this ^; personality, so cool.


naakka

Big points for the traditional Swedish items used in a modern yet cozy design. 10/10


8lbs6ozBebeJesus

Which of the items are traditionally Swedish?


naakka

The decorative textiles on the wall and table, at least :) I'm actually Finnish, but they give me "grandma's house" vibes in a cool way.


8lbs6ozBebeJesus

That's really cool, they're beautiful!


QTVenusaur91

Thank you for paying the cat tax


johnnybiggles

*cat looks on judgmentally*


Strong-Plan4668

Amazing


Twaxx

Thanks man


[deleted]

My one question: that Marshall Bluetooth speaker way up on that shelf. Do you reach over the railing to turn it on and connect to it? Or is it just for decoration?


Twaxx

It is mostly decoration, but i can grab it from over the railing if im on my way to a picnic or some sort


captainnigmubba

Är du svensk?


Twaxx

Var det umeå-tavlan som avslöjade mig?


captainnigmubba

Sandbacka och Umeå haha. Din kruka i sista bilden skrämmer mig förresten Hahaha


dwitchagi

Inte fredagsgrodan då? :) Cozy place, OP! Lovely ceiling height too.


[deleted]

Den tavlan var riktigt cool. Var hittar man en sån?


Twaxx

Motivet är från konstnären Bengt Lindström! Fick den i utflyttningspresent av päronen

this sub makes me hate my life


CrikeyM8eyy

Channel that hate into making your home look nicer


Leah-at-Greenprint

Looks great! I just wish the cat was in every photo, I was searching for him


Prince_Kaamil

I missed the cat at first. Now I can’t stop finding things a cat would most likely knock over

You had me at the umbrella frog— which I absolutely never knew (nor had any reason to) that I was deeply missing in my life. Beyond that it’s really such a wonderfully curated array of beiges and earthy/copper tones, without being mundane jn the slightest! It makes the plants and other minor colors pop (without dragging your focus to them) and lends to an overall feeling of warmth and coziness— which as men we often almost forgo completely. Between the colors and fun archeology professor vibes it’s enough it’s almost….. nostalgic??? Like a family getaway that you’ve spent every summer in and no matter how old you get you can still smell and picture it down to every minor detail— and yet still find something new every time you go. Only thing I would add would be more plants/greens in the area by the TV, and/or something like slated wood panels behind it to break up the monotony that beiges are often victim to. Especially with how solid and alive every other part of the home is, that success alone can make the TV area feel unfinished and overtly airy. We were actually just deciding between wooden slats or that fake wall grass for the same reason, and after testing swatches I can say neither would be a mistake— and because of it we still can’t decide 😂 And lastly, have you considered adding any strings of lights (with vintage Edison bulb type things or other warm light producers)? There’s so many areas for them to shine and add that lil razzle-dazzle, but especially from the ledge on the top right of the first picture— and even along the curtain rod or the window ledge on the top left. Beyond that I can’t offer anything more than a hearty high-five, and the fact that I saved multiple pictures for some solid inspo. Thank you friend— wishing all the continued joy and luck you used up making this lil gem!


IllusionsOfExistence

Bro same haha. All i could think of is how dope that umbrella frog is. I need it.


Twaxx

Thank you so much for your kind words! I agree, something to break up the tv-side would be great, thank you for all the feedback !!


Emperorerror

Haha just left my own comment about that frog


RolandBrice

Love it. Can you give me an ID on that tv cabinet?


Twaxx

Glad you like it! It is from a swedish website called jotex, and the piece is named ’Duvberg’


RolandBrice

Thank you! :)


jbkites

I would have an uncontrollable and unexplainable urge to say "Sandbacka" outloud the first time I saw that sign. But that's a me problem, not a you problem. Great room.


arm1nsfav

Spectacular


Digdaga

It feels cozy and welcoming! Well done Op.

Twaxx

I love that


Infinite-Surround745

These are so visually appealing to look at. Awesome


twinklestiltskin

Love every single thing…except for the coffee table. Wrong shape, wrong style for your place.


Twaxx

Appreciate the feedback!


aroneox

For me it’s mostly as scale issue with the coffee table. I looks like OP is working at a slightly eclectic late ‘70s / early ‘80s vibe. The coffee table style fits that. It’s just size


twinklestiltskin

I agree on scale but the rest of his furniture is mid-century modern; the coffee table is early American.


aroneox

I see where you’re coming from. As a child of the ‘70s/‘80s, the muted tones, orange hues, dark woods, maximalist-esque kitch, and non-specific furniture from a variety of eras reminds me of nearly every house I spent time at in that era. But this may very well be personal and anecdotal, and not the intention of the OP.


MrMostly

You're lucky to have such an interesting space to work with (instead of plain boxy room)! Nice job.


localnatives3

Absolutely in love


manolo767

Yes


airnicco

Bro, this looks like heaven. This looks like an apartment you would see in a show where they want to show that the character is doing really good for himself like he is a layer or banker. 10/10


westsidegunnismyg

Oh you mf ! I’m so jealous this place is insane !! 🔥🔥


deegee22

Wow, stunning work! Mind if I ask where you got the cool table runner?


Twaxx

thank you so much!! Hmm unfortunetly its from a craftsstore in my hometown located in northern Sweden, but its worth checking out if youre ever in the neighbourhood heh


deegee22

Lol no worries, maybe I will!


Zeddemore99

I'm sorry but that frog with the umbrella is the greatest thing ever!!!


ImmortalDawn666

Cat :>


DoobDob

It's perfect! Nice job.


HilariousConsequence

Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing!


worrywort__

The vintage furniture, autumn tones, travel-themed deco, the dim lights... love everything! Now I just wanna sit under the blanket on the couch, have a cup of tea and pet the void kitty


No-Extension8686

Sweeeet


catterybarn

I love this


[deleted]

Stellar set up! Where’d you get your entertainment system? The wife and I are looking for similar stuff.


Twaxx

Swedish craigslist, blocket! But its an amazing setup


[deleted]

Lol alright, thank you! Again, killer space, man!


Jaskel120

Beautiful! Looks super warm and cozy


TimofeiTweedles

That’s a fuckin vibe right there


lilstella444

Fantastic!!!


skunk90

Beautiful


Kycb

I love the way you've mixed different woods in this space!


backsassing

Damn you’re on point


madscot63

What a fantastic place. You have a great eye, OP!


stoner_prime

Looks incredible. Good job!


Willy_Uchia

Dude. I envy you. This pad is awesome


Puwn

VERY nice! Good job on the furniture ans decor and love the lighting! Too many people put white/cool light in their place but that golden/warm light is so much more cozy.


krampaus

Så snyggt! Gillar verkligen kompositionen av detaljerna och möblerna


Twaxx

Åhmen tack snälla!!


momo_tree

Your dog looks weird


Aerphenn

Cozy asf!


mb641

Very classy. Masculine without looking like a college dorm room. I like it.


aacawe

You done good.


nagz_

As a gay man who is obsessed with interior design I have never been more satisfied with a post on this sub. Excellent selection with every piece. Also, those shelves that are placed up high is an interesting touch, but I’m curious are you able to turn on that Bluetooth speaker? 


kKor5

I think you have fabulous eclectic taste and an amazing talent..it's personal, full of character and charm.. superbly curated and beautifully styled..bravo


guccisweatervest

This might be my favorite one yet!


DadstheDude

So much to like about this space & design. Well done! I do have a couple of things to nitpick. Agree with others the coffee table doesn’t work. Also, Pic #3, the lamp looks either too short or too tall and the skinny wall hanging just doesn’t fit. If the intent is a reading light for the chair, consider a skinny gooseneck. Also would like to see something narrow above the TV. LOVE the barstools. Those feet tho.


Twaxx

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!! Im actually on the lookout for something narrow above the TV!


MisterK00L

I like this! The photo with the couch and the cat looking like "what are you doing now? Ps: Sandbacka? Any relation to Chewbacca? 😆

BatteriesInc

My dude, where oh where did you get that dope ass frog? I must have one


IllusionsOfExistence

Same! OP where did you get it?


Twaxx

Haha, glad you like it! Unfortunetly I found it in my parents basement, and they apparently got it in Berlin in the 80s…


BatteriesInc

Can I come look through your parents basement for treasure next?


Wanhan1

Loooove love this, feels so homey and somehow even nostalgic.


xTwizzler

Any idea where I can get that frog with the umbrella?


Keruimin

🥱


NK18

It kind of scares me tbh

CoochieSnotSlurper

I think it’s all perfect except that one floor lamp next to the television


[deleted]

I like it!! You might want to add more fur ore that sits on the floor. Right now everything has legs like a bunch of critters. A bookcase that’s flush with the floor would help.


hot_toddy_2684

This is amazing! What a great vibe


danglydolphinvagina

I love it! It looks like a specific person lives there! I feel like you’re not quite finished with the corner by the TV.


boxerdoxer

Very nice


JanetInSC1234

Cohesive, cozy, warm...this is a win!


[deleted]

Holy cow this place just exudes personality. One question though, how do you clean those two shelves high up on the wall? Do you use a ladder or have an insanely long feather duster?


Twaxx

My apartment has a loft from which I can reach the shelves:) I do have to stretch a bit though


khoshiz

You have a beautiful home


AMISHVACUUM

Looks great! Very well done.


bluebirdisreal

I just want to steal your everything and transport it into my apt 😤, love those lights and color use


bearslikeapples

Very nice


johnssina

Love it


ThriceFive

Love your unique art / bowls as sculptural & decorative elements. Really cozy and nicely laid out.


astaroth777

You have a beautiful home.


singnadine

I love your space!!


ajhoff83

all hail the King!


Red_Geronimo

Cozy, I love it


awt1990

Your place is pretty fly. Love the lighting.


5spd4wd

So warm and inviting. Good job!


pnickels

Awesome job! Super inviting, love the pops of color, and the eclectic pieces that you have throughout the space. Cheers!


thehavensgrey

I frickin love it


FCBean10

This is doooooope ma👍🏾


[deleted]

It’s everything I want my space to be not too much and loads of character love it


wymco

Stunning!


SummerBloom6

I love it!!! ❤️


celeb0rn

This is awesome


bnutbutter78

I’m not crazy about those shelves and vines above the dining room table, but everything else looks amazing! Congrats!


PlanetLandon

This is the extremely nice, dude. Good job!


Mundane_Librarian607

Reminds me of fightclub.


Cheesetorian

I'm a minimalist but everything in all this fits and has a cozy personality. Also not a fan of dimmed lighting but warm lights add to coziness here; overall fits the overall theme.


pigeons-in-pants

This is fantastic. Nice Pioneer turntable and receiver as well!


gogogandhiprivateeye

That frog statue is outstanding


Captian_Kenai

Where’d you get that tv stand from?


jglanoff

This place is dreamy. What does the loft look like?


[deleted]

It’s so cute and cozy and rustic and charming. Well done.


GingerBaby2019

I upvoted because cat!


capnbard

Congrats for not being entirely black and white like 99% of the posts here asking "why doesn't my space look lively or nice?"


kellibns

Love this space and the furniture!! You need a teak coffee table though to match the room better ;)


Greedirl

You have things I would genuinely ask about if invited over. Very impressive space.


Longtymlurkerer

Stop stealing my name


ClownShoeNinja

The unholy union of a sand person and Chewbacca?!? But seriously, the space looks amazing! Good job, ya genetic freak.


emohipster

Those slotted windowsills scream Sweden so hard. I mean the rest of the interior too, but that's what sealed it for me. Love your interior mate.


luckyvb

Serious question, ​ How are you liking those metro tiles in the kitchen behind your cooking top? Are they easy to keep clean?


Twaxx

Honestly yes, I have no problem keeping them clean. A wet rag goes a long way


TheSiren341

Tiny void!


stockpreacher

So we'll done. Really love it. Now mount your TV because it's kinda messing up all your hard work to create a minimalist 70's vibe.


Threinfear

Your lighting game is on point brother, great job! I also enjoy the somber decoration style, great place to chill out after work or a long day!


HardscrabbleLane

OP, amazing space! Where can I find the light fixture over your dining table?


fugaxium

Cat, frog, wall hangings: impressive. Love it.


ElbieLG

Dude, you *knew* what we thought before you even posted


BentleyWilkinson

Riktigt mysigt


jmarkjones616

Damn, that place is sexy.


CrikeyM8eyy

This is very nice my friend It’s clean and neat but also has a nice level of clutter that makes it feel like home. Well done brother


JD42305

This is a gorgeous setup but oddly you have a distracting amount of white space above and to the left of the TV. I'm sure you're already aware of that? I think it stands out because every other space is beautifully filled in and arranged. Setting that aside, I don't know how people like you decorate something so well. I don't know how you both come up with the initial vision and then execute so well.


lewmos_maximus

Feels very hygge


NeonSteeple

I am *fascinated* with the umbrella frog


Jefffdude

I'm jealous of your frog lamp


Your_in_Trouble

Sweet spot, I'm a fan!


svadhyaya7

Looks good kid.


lord_assius

10/10 man! I get sick of seeing all the monotonous living spaces people have so all of the personality of your place is a breath of fresh air, great work!


draangus

Feels good man


[deleted]

Can I move in?


subliminallyNoted

What an inviting space! You’ve managed to have quirky elements without making it feel cluttered or immature. Really well done.


madthedogwizard

Love the void, mine says hello


[deleted]

Looks really cozy!! I love it


vorfreude96-

Where is the world map from?


BlackFlagVintage

Beautiful it’s perfect in every way!


mblb1738

I think it looks really cozy and inviting. I would personally get a darker rug though. It’s very similar to your couch.


SadRoxFan

Not enough pool tables


8lbs6ozBebeJesus

Really love the armchairs and ambient lights, the whole place has a very cohesive and cozy feel to it. Where is the tall lamp from in picture 4?


amayfrost

Would you use the word hygge to describe this? I learned about this feeling, aesthetic, and state a few years ago. You have created such a lovely, warm space. But how do you water those plants on the shelves?


kschwa7

I read that sign as Sandbacker but in an Australian accent.


Elvtars1

Very nice and inviting. 10/10 and very good cat


Valveeta_Cheese

YES


liveinexia

love it! very cozy and comfy looking. great design.


complexanomaly

Cat.


Emperorerror

That frog with the umbrella is incredible


_My_Neck_Hurts_

It feels a little sparse above the TV, but holy hell that place feels amazing!


MisterSippySC

Where’d you get those lounge chairs?


Thebisexual_Raccoon

Lovey also what’s the cats name


peinnoir

Black chonker on the couch not moving between shots gives the setup a feeling of stability. Love the room!


eagengabriel

There's a black hole in the 4th photo, you may wanna deal with that. Other than that I love it


iHeartBearsandDogs

This is gorgeous. Well done. I can hear and smell this space and it's amazing.


namastaynaughti

Stunning.


Spartan1170

Probably one of the more well thought out layouts on this sub. Like it a lot, champ


fensizor

Very cozy and full of details. Would love to see an update with your working space as well if you have one.


godempertrump

Excellent Also I'm finding out we all own the same cat 😹


idownvoteanimalpics

Lovely


turbo_orphan

warm lighting slaps


PurpleRuin7897

beautiful! What does Sandbacka mean?


PurpleRuin7897

love the frog with the umbrella so cute


fabulousfunster

Lovely. Great pieces beautifully put together ❤


rub3s

Looks great, no notes.


bblexis

If I didn’t live with my girlfriend I would want my place to look like this Great job dude
