Colorful Rooms in a Practical Stockholm Family Apartment
This colorful family apartment is located on the top floor of a 1920s building in the most sought-after location of the Vasastan neighborhood in Stockholm. The 72 square meter apartment has two bedrooms, a cozy kitchen with a brick wall, and a charming courtyard balcony.
Period elements from the beginning of the 20th century, like high ceilings, wooden floorboards, decorative stucco, and windows, have been preserved and paired with a contemporary color palette and modern comforts.
The first room you enter in this apartment is the charming kitchen where a stunning exposed brick wall is paired with light pink cabinets.
The pink kitchen cabinets are topped with a limestone countertop and a wooden shelf.
The niche by the dining table is fitted with a red-painted built-in cabinet featuring open and closed storage. In the corner, opposite the fridge, is also a built-in pantry.
The kitchen space has enough room for a large dining table, especially with a bench fitted against the wall.
The kitchen opens to a charming balcony overlooking the courtyard and the historic, colorful houses of the Vasastan area.
To accommodate all family members, the two largest rooms on either side of the apartment are used as bedrooms. Usually, one of the larger rooms would be a living room with this “in-between” space as a dining room.
The current owners turned the smaller room into a cozy sitting area with beige-yellow walls and a parquet floor.
Glass double doors on either side of the living room give access to the bedroom spaces.
The master bedroom is painted in a light pink hue, with the top border and the ceiling painted in a lighter tone to accentuate the high ceilings. It is paired with a herringbone parquet floor.
A wardrobe wall is fitted along the long wall, which is hidden from view by floor-to-ceiling pink curtains.
The second bedroom is now used as a shared children’s room with space for three kids. Floor-to-ceiling gray curtains can be drawn to create two private areas.
The bathroom is a small but practical space clad in white and light pink tiles.
A smart storage ledge has been created along one wall with the top tiles in the same light pink hue as the floor tiles.
The hall is painted in a nice yellow shade, creating a cheerful entrance to the colorful apartment. Wooden wall hooks are fitted along one wall, creating plenty of space to hang coats, bags, and other items. There is also a built-in wardrobe.
The apartment is listed for sale at Svensk Fastighetsförmedling.
