A Light Color Palette and a Charming Private Patio in a Stockholm Apartment

On the ground floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in the Södermalm area of Stockholm, you will find this light-colored apartment with two bedrooms and a private patio.

The apartment is painted throughout in light and calm colors, and the open-plan areas in the kitchen, living room, and hallway have a uniform, light beige shade paired with the original light wooden floorboards.
