this is such a pretty, light-filled apartment in Linnéstaden — a neighborhood in the central part of Gothenburg, sweden. built in 1885, it’s been given a modern facelift — they’ve added modern furnishings and lighting fixtures, and painted it a calming shade of pale green that looks really fresh with all that light streaming in. but they’ve kept all those turn of the century details intact — wide double doors, the high ceilings and gorgeous crown moldings. they just don’t make homes like this anymore, so when i see something this lovely, i just have to sigh and wonder why.

Those pictures are all gorgeous, but I DIE for the entry hall with the harlequin wall paper, the lamp, the bench, the button pillow . . . those Swedish real estate sites are really the best.
I am in love with that paint color and that wood floor! So serene.
Love, love, love the green shades of wall paint. This home strikes such a great balance between earthy and airy elements.
I love the table top organizer with glass drawers!! If anyone knows where to buy such a thing I would be greatly appreciative! I own a plastic version that mechanics often use for storing nuts and bolts but this is much more desirable!
ME too. Have been searching for these for years! Pleeez, someone help a couple of girls out & tell us where you can find this!
what amazing paint colors. love how they work with the brick. beautiful home!
Wauw! The pale green color in the first pictures is the one I really want to have in our new home….. Does someone know which paint this is?
Paint colour looks like Farrow & Ball – ‘light blue’.
I was working on a film this past couple of months and fell in love with the paint color on the walls in the kitchen of the brownstone we were in. So I asked the Set Designer what she used and said it was Light Blue by Farrow & Ball. I was hooked. It changes with the time of day from soft pale blue to a sage like green. It’s an amazing color. Trust me on this. Go for it.
Hello,
I’m in love!
Is the color in the living room also light blue?
i think it’s a light blue/sage green color – it looks different in different light.
Does anyone know the name of the paint colour on the walls in the first 3 photos?? It’s perfect.
i think it’s all the same paint color, but it just looks different in the various light. i don’t know what it is, but reminds me of Restoration Hardware’s Silver Sage. I did a quick search on Pinterest, and a whole bunch of similar shades came up:

Can you please tell me how you treated the wooden floor (living room), I love the color of it. Is it pine floor?
oh, sorry i’m not sure, it’s not my house and the site doesn’t say.
Need to know more about the dining table! Sleepless nights! Who’s my hero?
What color is on these walls? Do we know what paint?
I’m sorry, I wish I could help Sarah, but I don’t know.
They wrote on their Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/p/1so2qmkBRa/) that the color code is NCS “S 3005-G20Y”
Thanks so much for sharing this information Christoph – I’ve been trying to color match this!
I was wondering if someone could tell me what king of paint was on the walls? I was wanting the one that looked like pale green.

I’m not sure, Lance, but you might check out Restoration Hardware’s Silver Sage – it’s a good green and looks similar.
I have searched and found the mysterious color….. drum roll please lol the color is “acier” by Sherwin-Williams
thank you for the detective work, sara! :)
What a beautiful home. Ok you color detectives -especially Sara Waldrop, I’m in love with the dining room wall color. What could that be? Appreciate it.
I’m not sure, but Restoration Hardware has a similar shade paint, Silver Sage:

For those wondering about the sage color – an earlier commenter said it was NCS “S 3005-G20Y – This website has similar colors with other paint brands if NCS is not easily accessible for you. Thinking of trying the BM sabre gray :)
