A Scandinavian Apartment with a Pale Yellow Kitchen

In the Swedish city, Gothenburg stands a beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment complex that houses this two-bedroom apartment with beautiful natural light. The 64-square-meter apartment has serene rooms painted in soft beige tones and original features.

The three rooms of the apartment are positioned in a row, and thanks to the south-facing location of the Scandinavian home, the rooms are flooded with natural light throughout the day, adding a soft glow to the rooms.

Next to the generous rooms and natural light, the rooms in this home also feature original elements of the early 20th-century building. The rooms feature beautiful stucco, ceiling rosettes, fine molding, and an original tiled fireplace.

See the light flooding into its living room, so lovely. The living room had a soft beige wall color and sanded wooden floors that creates a serene atmosphere to the room.

The shelf that is added to the window would be perfect for growing herbs.

This room also features original elements. Stucco, a ceiling rosette, a wooden floor, and deep window sills add to the charm of the room.
