A Pink Ground Floor Apartment on a Cozy Amsterdam Canal

In the cozy Jordaan neighborhood in Amsterdam, this one-bedroom apartment with a small private garden is located on the ground floor of an early 20th-century canal house.

French doors at the front of the house open onto a small, private outdoor space with a view of the Amsterdam canal, while a large skylight brings natural light deep into the home.

The apartment doesn’t have much natural light; only the French doors at the front, a skylight, and garden doors in the bedroom bring in some light into the home.

The owner added brightness to the apartment by painting the wooden floorboards white. Light pink walls add a romantic touch, while black accents add contrast.

At the front of the plan, a dining area has been created featuring a round table with views of the historic canal.

Small ledges against the wall create a nice display cabinet for coffee table books.

In the center of the open-plan living space stands the kitchen. The modern white cabinet doors are paired with brass handles, a brass sink, and a marble-look backsplash.

No upper cabinets create a more open feeling, while a half-high dividing wall hides the kitchen from the sitting room. The feature wall of pink mosaic adds a nice sparkly element.

A half-high wall between the kitchen and the sitting room separates the two areas. I think bar seating along this side would be very nice with views toward the canal.

A cozy sitting area is designed at the back of the open-plan living space. The pink walls are adorned with brass mirrors, helping to reflect light throughout the space.

The floral feature wall adds another romantic touch to the room.

The space between the sitting room and the bedroom features a large skylight, drawing light deep into the space. The black doors give access to the bathroom, a separate toilet, and a built-in cabinet.

At the back of the plan is a lovely bedroom featuring the Gucci “Heron” wallpaper behind the bed.

The other walls are painted in the same light pink hue as the rest of the apartment. Built-in wardrobes along two walls offer plenty of storage space.

The bathroom pairs marble-look tiles (similar to the backsplash tiles in the kitchen) with brass fittings and a black sink. The room has a bathtub and a shower.

The Egelantiersgracht is one of the coziest canal streets in Amsterdam with lovely boutiques and restaurants in close proximity.
