Neutral Shades and Period Elements in a Scandi Apartment

On the second floor of a turn-of-the-century apartment building in Gothenburg, Sweden, you will find this beautiful, serene two-bedroom apartment with natural materials and site-built details.

The entire apartment was carefully renovated a couple of years ago, perfectly blending preserved details from the turn of the last century, contemporary renovations, and modern comfort in the kitchen and bathroom.
