Many old Scandinavian apartments have an inner hall that can be used as an extra room. Here, the inner hall sits between the living room and kitchen and features a herringbone with frieze parquet floor. The owners don’t use it as an extra room, but it would work well as a home office.

On the other side of the inner hall lies the amazing kitchen and dining room with a fireplace in the corner.
