A Serene 19th Century Apartment with a Deep Red Kitchen

In a classic late 19th-century apartment building in Stockholm lies this recently renovated apartment painted in a light color palette and with a deep red kitchen. The 46 square meter apartment was completely updated in the last year, adding a light color scheme, a new kitchen, and a new bathroom.

Lovely wooden floors, high ceilings with stucco, and beautifully mirrored walls add a classic element to the interiors, which are paired with a combination of contemporary and classic furniture and built-in storage elements.

The apartment has a semi-open-plan living room and kitchen. It is a light space with three large windows in a row and double doors leading to the balcony.

Beautiful wooden floors, mirrored walls, and stucco ceilings showcase the apartment’s history, while the furnishings take the room to the 21st century.

A beautiful antique mirror sits between the two windows.

As mentioned, the floorplan is semi-open-plan, creating a social living space that is perfect for hosting and entertaining. The round dining table connects the living area with the kitchen.

The kitchen is a new addition to the apartment, but the style of the cabinets hints at earlier times. The deep red color of the cabinets contrasts nicely with the neutral colors of the rest of the apartment.

Another historical touch has been added by installing this tongue-and-groove paneling with wooden shelves, creating a nice coffee corner.

The wall connecting the hall with the kitchen and living room is fitted with built-in bookshelves, adding plenty of storage space in the small apartment.

The bedroom lies on the other side of the living room. The same gray-beige tone has been put on the walls, but the ceiling is painted in a soft pink shade for a subtle, romantic color accent.

This room is also fitted with built-in wardrobes.

The bathroom is also a new addition, but the design suits the period in which the house was built. It is designed with classic materials from Burlington and Sekelskifte, and the red and white checkerboard floor matches the color of the kitchen cabinets.
