A Light-Filled Attic Apartment with Exposed Beams
On the top floor of an early 20th-century building in the Swedish city of Nyköping lies this light-filled two-bedroom apartment with open-plan living spaces and decorated with stylish Scandinavian furnishings.
When you first step into the home, you are greeted by high ceilings, exposed original wooden beams, and large windows offering views of the beautiful houses and garden surrounding the property.
The apartment has a spacious open-plan living space with one area slightly separate from the living room and kitchen. This makes the 75-square-meter apartment feel larger while still creating distinct zones.
The kitchen features dark-brown, burnt-oak kitchen doors, paired with a light countertop, black fittings, and integrated appliances.
The small, awkward space next to the microwave has been fitted with shelves to maximize storage space.
The apartment has a wonderful light and social living space with large windows in two directions, a woodburner, and a window seat.
A light sitting area sits on the opposite side of the room, with a large window seat decorated with cushions and a L-shaped sofa for cozy evenings at home.
From the living space, an open doorway leads you to a large area that can be used as a home office, a dining room, or a second sitting room. The front door opens into this space, and one wall has been fitted with walnut panels with hooks and a storage bench.
The same decorating style continues into the principal bedroom with light walls, light-stained floorboards, and built-in closet space.
The smaller bedroom is now used as a nursery with green patterned wallpaper and a Moonboon baby hammock.
The walk-in closet with green-painted built-in wardrobes can be accessed via the hall.
The simple bathroom pairs large white tiles on the walls with a green Italian terrazzo tile on the floor.
The communal garden features a beautiful orangery with vines, a wood-burning stove, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining area.
The apartment is listed for sale at Croisette – styling by SI Nyköping
