High Ceilings and Light Colors in a Minimalistic Stockholm Apartment

This Swedish apartment with high ceilings and charming angles is situated on the fourth floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in the Södermalm area of Stockholm.

The 60-square-meter apartment features three-meter-high ceilings, two traditional Swedish fireplaces, soap-scrubbed wooden floors, and a light color palette of beige and green tones.

The spacious living room features two large windows in a row, which, together with the high ceilings, add a sense of light and volume to the space.

The entire apartment is decorated in a minimalistic Scandinavian style, using a lot of wood and light-colored furniture.

The space in front of the large windows is the perfect setting for a large dining table. The red Yrjö Kukkapuro ‘Vino’ chair adds a nice color pop in the neutral-colored room.

The long wall opposite the sofa is decorated with a sleek white bookcase.

One of the apartment’s original fireplaces is located in the living room. The light green shade adds a muted color pop to the space and pairs nicely with the wooden furniture and floor.

The kitchen is small but bright and functional. The white cabinets run all the way to the ceiling, and they are paired with a marble countertop and a brass faucet.

A small kitchen table is fitted in the corner, paired with wooden stools, so it doesn’t take up too much space.

The large window lets in beautiful natural light and overlooks the typical Stockholm apartment buildings surrounding the apartment.

The bedroom is a charming space with an angled wall and a white-tiled fireplace in the corner of the room.

The walls are painted in a beige tone with a yellow-green undertone.

Double glazed doors lead out to a sheltered half-round balcony overlooking the courtyard.

The bedroom features built-in wardrobes, painted in the same color as the walls for a minimalistic look.

On the right, the passageway between the hall and the bedroom is also fitted with built-in wardrobes.
