A Spacious Stockholm Apartment with Light Gray Walls

In an early 20th-century building in Stockholm’s Vasatan neighborhood lies this lovely family apartment with spacious rooms and three bedrooms. The apartment has an attractive floor plan with many doorways, and the living room and kitchen are in a row with double doors in between.

Period features such as wooden floors, stucco, mirrored doors, and high baseboards remind you of the early 20th-century origins of the apartment, but the rooms feel fresh and modern thanks to the neutral color palette and modern furnishings.

The apartment has a spacious living room facing the quiet street. The room is sparsely decorated with only a seating area, but you can also add a table or workspace in the room.

The walls are painted in a light shade, and the beautiful joinery is painted white, as in the rest of the apartment, making it really stand out. The room only has a small window, so the owners hung a round mirror directly opposite the reflect light throughout the room.

The big sofa is decorated with cushions that add a warm color accent to the room. On the red rug stands a stylish glass Gubi coffee table.
