A Beige Vintage Apartment in Stockholm

Beige aesthetic is hugely popular in the fashion and interior world. This form of interior design focusses on light beige and earthy colors that create a warm and peaceful home.

Today, I want to share a home that can definitely be part of the beige aestehtic interior trend. The Stockholm apartment is compeltely painted and decorated in soft beige shades and it is combined with beautiful wooden floors and vintage furniture and decor.

The 99 square meter home in the chic Ă–stermalm district in central Stockholm is unique as it can easily be divided into two homes. The apartment has two kitchens and two bathrooms and both parts have their own entrance. Besides two homes, you can also turn one half into a home office if you have your own business.

In the entire home the joinery such as interior doors, moldings and window frames are painted with linseed oil paint in a warm grey-green color (15% French green umber).

This open plan living room and kitchen lies in the center of the classic home. The room has original stucco, high skirting boards, plastered white brick walls, and oiled herringbone parquet flooring.
