Natural Light and Classic Elements in a One-Bedroom Swedish Apartment

On the top floor of a late-19th-century apartment building in Gothenburg, a carefully renovated one-bedroom apartment showcases timeless craftsmanship and beautiful natural light.

The 56-square-meter apartment showcases beautiful turn-of-the-century elements, including stucco, wooden floors, and large windows. This is paired with modern furnishings, as well as a renovated kitchen in a classic style, and a sunny balcony.

The light is what you immediately notice when you step into the home. Thanks to the apartment’s high location, you can see the sky from the windows.

The living room is a fresh space with white walls, wooden floorboards, and pretty stucco framing the ceiling.

String shelves in a soft beige tone hang on one wall, adding storage space.

A glazed door opens onto the balcony, which is a fantastic extension to the living space.

With plant boxes hanging from the balustrade and potted plants on the floor, the balcony is a wonderful outdoor space.

On the other side of the room, a dining area has been created. With a built-in bench, you can seat even more people.

The spacious hall has been fitted with built-in wardrobes, allowing the other rooms to stay free from bulky furniture, creating more airy spaces.

The wall between the bedroom and the hall underscores the apartment’s focus on natural light. It allows the light from the bedroom window to flow into the hall, while also creating the illusion of more space in the modest-sized home.

The bedroom is a serene space with light-colored walls, a wooden floor, and a large window. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a long day and look at the sky from the bed.

The renovated kitchen is located on the other end of the hall. It is designed in a classic style, matching the apartment’s turn-of-the-century building period.

The kitchen has space for a small breakfast table, while the ceiling height has been taken advantage of with a floor-to-ceiling cabinet next to the window, offering a lot of storage space, while keeping the area above the counterspace free from cabinets.

Classic light-gray cabinets are paired with Carrara marble, a classic faucet, and white backsplash tiles that run toward the ceiling.

Entry to the apartment is in the center of the home (between the kitchen and the bedroom). The hall features smart shoe storage and a coat rack, flanked by built-in wardrobes on either side.

Entry to the apartment building is through the fantastic courtyard and this covered entry space. Just look at the detailing of the tiles, the colored glass windows, and the door. They don’t build buildings like this anymore, do they?

The apartment is listed for sale at Entrance Mäkleri.
