A Green Kitchen in a Gray Family Apartment

On the top floor of a historic apartment complex in Stockholm, you are welcomed by a beautiful family apartment with two sitting rooms, original details, and high ceilings.

The current owner lived in one apartment on the top floor and in 2022, they bought the neighboring home to create one big family apartment. This merger gives the home a unique layout with two living rooms and two bathrooms.

There are several original features in the late 19th century apartment such as the original wooden floor, moldings (supplemented by imitation style moldings), doors, and window panels. And while the majority of the house is decorated in muted color tones, the kitchen has been turned into a vibrant room with green cabinets.
