Warm and Rich Colors in a 19th-Century Stockholm Apartment

This cozy apartment is located on the ground floor of a beautiful 19th-century apartment building in Stockholm. Despite the ground floor courtyard location, the large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the entire apartment is painted in warm, muted tones.

The apartment is located in the stylish Vasastan area of Stockholm, but thanks to its courtyard location, it is a place of calm and coziness. The home features beautiful original elements, such as wooden floorboards, mirrored doors, and high skirting boards, which lend it a great deal of character.
