A Gray Turn-of-the-Century Apartment with a Green Kitchen

This charming one-bedroom apartment is located on the fourth floor of a turn-of-the-century apartment building in the Södermalm area of Stockholm. The apartment is located in a courtyard wing built in 1903, meaning the home features windows in two directions that both face quiet courtyards, very peaceful!

The apartment is small (46 square meters), but it is well distributed, with an open-plan living room and kitchen that also opens onto a balcony, and a bedroom with built-in wardrobes.

The architecture of this courtyard wing means that no room in this apartment is completely square. All rooms feature old wooden floorboards, paired with gray walls and white-painted sutcco and skirting boards.

The apartment has a nice semi-open-plan living room with windows in two directions. From the hall, you move directly into the sitting area next to the balcony doors.

The dining table in the other corner perfectly connects the kitchen to the sitting area.

Double doors open onto the south-facing balcony, which becomes an extra room in the summer months. There are no balconies above or next to it, so it’s also very private.

A Tom Dixon lamp hangs above the dining table.

The kitchen is small but very stylish with green base cabinets, white upper cabinets, brass handles, and a marble countertop.

The windowsill behind the kitchen can be used for herbs.

The door of one upper cabinet has been removed, creating a more open atmosphere.

Next to the Samsung Sero television stands a green Curve lamp by Studio Front in collaboration with Zero.

The bedroom is a calm haven with wooden floorboards that have been painted in a light gray hue and also feature a nice pattern.

The room has an original built-in wardrobe which is very spacious and can also be transformed into a home office.

On one side, there is a wardrobe wall painted the same color as the walls for a harmonious, calm look.
