We’ve long admired the inviting interiors at Ett Hem, a hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, designed by Ilse Crawford of Studioilse. Guest room color palettes are “the sort of tones that human skin looks good against,” Crawford told Monocle back in 2012.
Here, a guest suite inspired by a Carl Larsson painting is a look we’d like to replicate—Swedish tiled Kakelunger stove and all. Here’s our list of similar design sources.

Paint
Above: The pale French-gray-colored walls can be replicated with a paint color like Farrow & Ball’s Cornforth White ($110 per gallon). It’s one of the colors listed in our post Architects’ 8 Favorite Warm Gray Paints.
Furniture
Above: The 2213 Three-Seater Sofa by Børge Mogensen is available in mahogany (shown), black, and tan through Fredericia Furniture. It can also be sourced through vintage dealers, as shown, on 1st Dibs. Above: The Field Ottoman from the John Derian Collection for Cisco Brothers is a similar style to the round tufted ottoman in Crawford’s composition. This one, too, is rendered in gray Belgian linen for $1,590 at John Derian. Above: For a similar-style Parsons coffee table, the Urban Green Furniture Parsons Coffee Table in white-painted eco MDF is $469. Above: Source a similar vintage round mahogany side table, like the Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture Pie Crust End Table seen here for $1,288, at Perigold. Above: The West Elm Geo Mirror Storage Side Tableis similar to the custom mirrored tables against the windows in the Ett Hem suite. The side table is currently on sale for $199.99 at West Elm.
Lighting & Appliances
Above: Bernard-Albin Gras’s Lampe Gras in black is $960 from Design Within Reach. Above: A traditional Swedish Kakelunger stove can be custom made in Ontario by Stone House Pottery; antique stoves are also available from Lindholm Kakelunger (as shown above).
Above: Source a small piece of Studio Ditte’s Porcelain Wallpaper Colorful to function as framed art; €135 per roll. Above: While not pictured, Ilse Crawford’s own Brass Candle Holders are seen all over the Ett Hem hotel; $140 each at March. Above: A Vintage Swedish Tin Vase can be sourced on Etsy and other online vintage sites such as 1st Dibs and eBay (or from a local flea market). The vase shown here is $43.35 from Your Favorit Shop on Etsy.
