Warm Interiors and Period Charm in an Art Nouveau Stockholm Apartment

Set on the third floor of a beautifully preserved Art Nouveau building from 1913, this inviting apartment is a place where old-fashioned charm meets thoughtful, contemporary updates.

With generous ceiling heights, high-set windows in deep niches, and a floor plan that balances sociability with privacy, the home feels both elegant and deeply comfortable.

Original details define the atmosphere here. Preserved wooden floors, mirror-panelled doors, mouldings, and profiled linings provide a timeless backdrop, while carefully chosen materials and colours create a calm, cohesive interior.

From spring through autumn, the living room is bright and airy; in winter, it becomes irresistibly cosy. A centrally placed, light-blue tiled stove anchors the space and invites long evenings by the fire.

There is ample room for a generous sofa group, making the room ideal for entertaining or quiet nights at home.
