A Grand Apartment with a Green Kitchen in a Turn-of-the-Century Villa

Set within one of Lidingö’s (an island just north of central Stockholm) most distinctive National Romantic villas, this exceptionally elegant apartment combined the scale and atmosphere of a private house with the convenience of apartment living.

Measuring 203 square meters, the apartment has been carefully renovated to preserve its turn-of-the-century character while introducing modern comfort and a functional layout.

Built in 1910, the red-painted timber villa retains many of its original architectural features, from its steep tiled roof and mullioned windows to its generous veranda and several balconies.

Inside, tall ceilings, sanded wooden floors, intricate joinery, and moldings add historic character to the living spaces.

The kitchen was custom-made for the room by SNEK. Its hand-painted pine cabinetry is finished in a restrained, classic green color that complements the villa’s historic interiors beautifully.

The green cabinets are paired with Kolmården marble worktop, a butler sink under the window, and appliances from Siemens and Bertazzoni. The walls are decorated with the floral “Blomsterhav” wallpaper by Boråstapeter.

From the kitchen, you can access the renovated terrace, which becomes an extension to the room in the warmer months.

A home office is located next to the kitchen, continuing the green color palette with built-in bookshelves and green window frames.

At the heart of the home, a generous living room is arranged around a brick fireplace.

A separate television room can be accessed through a pair of wooden doors.

The apartment features two bathrooms. The smaller bathroom is designed in a classic style with green tiles, a Victorian-patterned floor, a walk-in shower, Burlington basins, and brass fittings.

A wide hallway leads you to the private area, featuring four bedrooms.

The master bedroom is decorated with the “Golden Lily” wallpaper by William Morris. It features built-in wardrobes in a classic style with brass handles and access to a balcony.

There is one other double bedroom and two smaller bedrooms, all decorated in a blue color palette.

The two smallest bedrooms feature the Bon Voyage wallpaper by Boråstapeter in collaboration with Newbie.

The large bathroom continues the classic style, featuring a freestanding bath, teal-colored wallpaper, and impressive built-in joinery with brass fittings.

The apartment is listed for sale at Wrede.
