Gray Tones and Built-in Storage in a Charming Corner Apartment

This charming one-bedroom apartment is located in one of the few remaining 19th-century buildings in the Hornstull area of Stockholm. The 43-square-meter apartment is located in the corner of the building, offering views of the lake in every room and balcony.

The apartment was renovated a couple of years ago, with a new kitchen, a classic herringbone parquet floor, painting all surfaces, and built-in storage solutions in the hall and the living room, adding a lot of storage space to the small home.

The corner room is now the living room, with large glass doors opening to a balcony and large windows in the angled wall. The gray hue on the walls pairs beautifully with the new herringbone parquet floor.

Despite the gray walls, the room feels very warm thanks to the floor and the wooden furniture in a midcentury style.

The high position of the apartment creates wonderful views of the lake and the treetops. The balcony is a beautiful extension of the living area in the warmer months.

The corner of the living room is fitted with built-in bookshelves that seamlessly flow into closed built-in cabinets in the open hallway.

The entire hall is fitted with built-in wardrobes, and the ceiling height of 3.2 meters has been fully taken advantage of.

The kitchen is small but very stylish and practical. The design is by Balingslöv and pairs contemporary gray cabinets with a Carrara marble countertop and white backsplash tiles.

The ceiling height has been taken advantage of, just as in the hall. The upper cabinets (that reach the ceiling) are a lovely combination of closed cabinets and open shelving with oak frames, adding warmth and a nice dynamic look.

A small rustic wooden bar table with three stools create a nice breakfast spot in the kitchen.

The bedroom is small but big enough for a double bed. The walls are painted in a shooting green shade, matching the greenery you see out of the window.
