Exposed Brick and Bright Color Pops in a Malmö Apartment

On the second floor of an early 20th-century apartment in Malmö, in Southern Sweden, lies this beautiful one-bedroom apartment where period elements are paired with bold color pops.

Historical features from the turn of the century, like stucco, high moldings, and tall windows, have been lovingly preserved and combined with modern Scandinavian furniture, raw elements in an exposed brick wall in the kitchen, and a wonderful color palette.
