A Small Stockholm Apartment with a Blue Shaker Kitchen

In a nice area in the trendiest part of Södermalm in Stockholm lies this charming one-bedroom apartment. The owner, architect Hanna Söderman, recently renovated the home, adding luxurious materials and a new blue kitchen that pairs wonderfully with the original woodwork.

The 40 square meter apartment pairs original elements like wooden floorboards, high skirting boards, mirror doors, and windows with a contemporary interior style and a classic kitchen painted in a fresh blue shade.

Light flows into the room thanks to a large, original window with a pretty cloverleaf panel radiator protection underneath.
