A Colorful and Bright 1930s Apartment in Stockholm

This colorful one-bedroom apartment is located on the first floor of a late 1930s building in Stockholm. The 45-square-meter apartment has a nice, flowing floor plan and large windows on two sides, allowing natural light to flow throughout the small home.

The apartment is decorated in a fun and vibrant color palette ranging from blue and green tones in the living room to a red kitchen, and a calmer beige-yellow tone in the bedroom.

Details such as espagnolette windows, stone window sills, and herringbone parquet have been preserved from the year the house was built, adding character to the interior spaces.
