A Cozy Courtyard Apartment with a Brown Bedroom
On the raised ground floor of a 1920s apartment building in Stockholm lies this beautiful apartment with preserved details and a brown bedroom. The 75 square meter apartment breathes character thanks to a herringbone parquet floor, ceiling ornaments, original windows with espagnolettes, and mirrored doors.
The apartment has an open floor plan between the living room, kitchen, and dining room. Two large windows in a row overlook the courtyard, which, in the spring and summer months, is a green oasis.
The living room is a warm and inviting space with a herringbone parquet floor, a beautiful ornate ceiling, and a light beige tone on the walls that highlight the period features.
A wide opening connects the living area with the kitchen, providing both rooms with natural light from both large windows.
One wall is fitted with custom bookcases, and the wide opening gives access to the apartment’s inner hall, which is now used as a dining room.
Old Swedish apartments often have an inner hall. It is an extra room that can be used as a second sitting area, a dining room, or a home office. In this apartment, it is used as a dining room with an antique table and a fireplace in the corner.
The kitchen is a modern addition with simple white cabinets topped with a marble countertop.
On one side, the cabinets are paired with a display shelf, while on the other side, the ceiling height has been taken advantage of with a double row of upper cabinets.
A cozy breakfast nook with a small table and a bench has been fitted under the courtyard window.
Off the kitchen lies a small bedroom painted in a warm beige shade and fitted with an antique desk and glass-fronted wardrobes. This room used to be the former maid’s room.
The original door also gives access to a small built-in wardrobe.
The largest bedroom is super cozy and warm, with deep brown walls, an ochre armchair, and velvet curtains hiding the wardrobes.
A shelf has been created under the deep window niche, creating extra storage for baskets and magazines.
Wooden wardrobes are closed off with velvet curtains in ochre yellow and brown.
The apartment was listed for sale at HusmanHagberg.
