A Light Top-Floor Apartment with a Built-in Bookcase
Located on the top floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in the Vasastan area of Stockholm lies this beautiful two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings, period details, and an open-plan living space.
Preserved details such as fine wooden floors, beautiful door leaves, and barred windows have been paired with contemporary furnishings, creating a perfect blend of old and new.
The 66-square-meter apartment features an open-plan living space along the width of the home. Two large windows with deep niches, typical for homes built in the 1910s, overlook the courtyard and the rooftops of the surrounding buildings.
The sitting area is defined by a built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcase, painted in a muted green hue.
A blue Moustache Bold Chair and Bold Bench add color and sculptural forms to the living room.
An industrial window has been fitted in the wall between the living room and hall, ensuring natural light can flow through the apartment.
On the other side of the room, a large steel-and-wood dining table connects the sitting area to the cooking space.
The kitchen is a design in contrast with black cabinets and white walls. The black cupboards are paired with brass fittings and a silestone countertop.
Integrated SMEG appliances add a vintage touch to the kitchen.
The master bedroom is a wonderfully bright space with an off-white hue on the walls and a large window featuring views of the sky and the rooftops.
The earth tones of the bedding add a warm touch to the room, while the red bedside table is the perfect example of how a small red detail can transform a space (remember the unexpected red theory).
The second bedroom is a charming children’s room with a large ochre-colored rug that adds warmth, and wall storage made by String Furniture that includes a desk.
IKEA spice racks are used as bedside storage for books and smaller items.
Thanks to the inner window, the hall is also a wonderfully bright space.
