A Lovely Vintage Apartment in Stockholm
Ahh Stockholm.. I love this city so much! I was there in September, and I’m probably getting back in March because I miss it. But back to interior design, because I have a lovely apartment for you today.
This home is located in the popular and hip Södermalm district, and it still has plenty of old charm. You can still spot a traditional Swedish fireplace (a kakelugn), wooden floors, double wooden doors, and wooden floorboards.
The interior builds further on that old look because the home is decorated with plenty of vintage furnishings. It creates a lovely, soft, and cozy home.
About Södermalm – Stockholm
Södermalm (or Söder in short) is an island just south of Stockholm’s Old Town (Gamla Stan). It has transformed from an impoverished area at the beginning of the 20th century into the most trendy neighborhood in Stockholm (and one of the coolest areas in the world, according to Vogue).
What to do: Södermalm is known for its cozy cafés, restaurants, and shops (including many vintage shops such as Beyond Retro and Grandpa). The island also offers beautiful views from the city. Walk up on Mariaberget or Skinnarviksberget and snap a picture of Sweden’s most beautiful city, or go for a swim at Långholmen.
Museums: Fotografiska Museum, Stockholm City Museum
You can take a guided 2-hour tour of Södermalm to fully immerse yourself in this trendy area. And if you’re interested in the brewery history, take a guided walk that includes a beer tasting at a secret location.
Where to stay: Stockholm Stadshotell, Hotel Frantz, NoFo Hotel
