Red and Blue Color Accents in an Open-Plan Stockholm Apartment

On the first floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in Stockholm lies this charming apartment with an open-plan living room and kitchen, a dark blue bedroom, and a bold, red-painted hallway.

The majority of the 49 square meter apartment is decorated in a calm light gray and light wood palette, but the owners added bolder color pops in the red kitchen backsplash tiles, and the wall colors in the bedroom and hall, creating a nice blend of calm and bold spaces.

A niche in the bedroom has been fitted with wardrobes that can be hidden from view with curtains. If you live in a small space, curtains are a smart option to hide storage compared to doors that take up more space.
