An Art Nouveau Apartment with a Deep Green Kitchen

This two-bedroom apartment lies on the second floor of a typical yellow-plastered early 20th-century Art Nouveau building in the popular Midsommarkransen area, just south of central Stockholm.

The apartment has a very cozy atmosphere thanks to the wooden floorboards, deep window niches, and the two traditional Swedish fireplaces. In addition, the home was carefully renovated in recent years, and they added architect-designed storage solutions that are stylish and smart.

The mahogany-veneered boat plywood shelves are recycled from the 1960s, which adds character and warmth to the kitchen.

The hall connects all the rooms in the house. It has a nice half-painted wall with the lower half painted in a muted blue-gray shade, and the upper half is white. There are floating cabinets fitted against the wall, and there is also an original built-in wardrobe for even more storage space.
