Built-in Storage and Period Features in a Ground Floor Stockholm Apartment

Located in a quiet courtyard, this late 19th-century apartment in Stockholm is a calm haven in the center of the city. The 61-square-meter apartment is located on the ground floor and has access to a private stretch of the communal courtyard, extending the living space in the warmer months.

Turn-of-the-century elements, such as stucco, large windows with deep sills, tiled fireplaces, and joinery, have been preserved, and they are paired with wooden floorboards and a calming gray tone on the walls.
