An Interior Designer's Moody Apartment with Period Features

On a charming 1930s square in Malmö stands this moody one-bedroom apartment of an interior designer. The apartment beautifully blends period features like mirror doors, stucco, and the original parquet floor with contemporary furnishings and decor.

But what stands out most in this apartment is the amazing color scheme of moody color tones in color-drenched rooms. The muted tones are paired with the occasional bright blue, green, or yellow color accent. You can see that at lot of thought and care has gone into decorating this Swedish apartment.

In the living room, one wall has been fitted with sound-absorbing fabric. It is a practical solution for old and noisy homes, but it also adds texture to the space.

The bay window is decorated with two blue Magis Piña Armchairs and the Muuto Wood table lamp.
