A Monochrome Design Home in a Former Chocolate Factory

It’s every kid’s dream: living in a chocolate factory. This modern apartment in Stockholm is located in the corner position of an early 20th-century chocolate factory, and it is a magnificent home where old factory elements are paired with modern interiors.

The two-bedroom apartment has been thoughtfully renovated, beautifully blending old factory elements with contemporary additions. The large hand-blown windows and concrete floors date from the time the factory was built. The contemporary kitchen, bathroom, and decor pair with it beautifully.

Huge industrial windows flood the open-plan living space with natural light. The owners added a monochrome color palette to the interiors which suit the industrial heritage extremely well.

The doors leading to the two bedrooms are extra high and wide, creating a wonderful feeling when opened. And by keeping the doors open, light also flows into the living space through the large bedroom windows.

The living space has a niche area that has been turned into a creative home office with an artist’s desk and wooden bookcases.

Opposite the sitting area lies a spacious kitchen. The kitchen is made of basic IKEA cabinets paired with exclusive smoked oak doors from Reform Cph designed by Norm Arkitekter, brass handles, and black fittings.

The master bedroom is painted in a deep gray shade. The headboard is built into the wall to create a ledge that serves as a nightstand. Behind the wall are walk-in closets.
