A Midcentury Swedish Apartment with Bold Colors

On the top floor of a stockholm apartment building lies this midcentury family apartment with spacious rooms, two bedrooms, and bold color accents. The home has been carefully renovated by its current owners, without compromising its period original charm. 

The apartment features smartly planned surfaces and generous rooms, which is typical for buildings built in the 50s. Large windows also flood the home with natural light, making it a very pleasent home.
