Gothenburg is located on the west coast and receives significantly more rain than Stockholm. This shapes the interiors: it is humid, the light is grey for much of the year, and the typical Landshövdingehus have a brick ground floor with two wooden floors above.
Grey light requires warm materials
With consistently overcast skies, cool colours and smooth surfaces quickly appear dull. What counteracts this are warm tones and materials with depth: leather with patina, warm wood, brass instead of chrome, and textured textiles. A wall mirror opposite the window brings the limited daylight into the room.
Wooden floors and sound
In the Landshövdingehus, the upper floors have wooden beam ceilings. They are noisy, and hard floors amplify this. Large rugs and upholstered furniture with fabric covers are not just about aesthetics here, but also acoustics.
Compact floor plans
The apartments are usually smaller than those in Stockholm's old buildings. This calls for a few, well-chosen pieces: a sofa of appropriate depth, two armchairs, a side table for each seating area. Large seating arrangements make these rooms appear smaller than they are.
