Bright, Spacious Rooms in a Classic Stockholm Apartment

On a prime location in Stockholm’s Östermalm area stands this amazing corner apartment with six bedrooms, many historical features, and a pastel color palette. The apartment is situated in a building from 1894 and is characterized by bright, large rooms thanks to the 3.4-meter ceilings, the corner position, and its many windows.

The decor of this historic apartment is amazing. Pastel colors are paired with bold color accents, William Morris wallpaper, and an industrial glass wall in the unique kitchen space.

These historic apartments often have rooms in a row, so you get these wonderful views from one end to the other. Here, you can see from the home office through the dining room to the sitting room.

With two large windows, the dining room is a bright space with pastel pink walls and a bold floral rug on the light wooden floor.

The corner position of the living room means that it has windows on two sides, making it a wonderfully bright room which is accentuated by the pastel yellow hue on the walls.

What I love most about this apartment is that it combines classic designs, period features, and fun, colorful accents.

The kitchen is a unique room with floor-to-ceiling cabinets, a large kitchen island with seating in the center, and an industrial glass wall with a dining nook. The wooden floor is painted in a classic checkerboard pattern. The cooking area is next to the balcony door, which isn’t pictured.

One part of the wall is removed to add an industrial glass wall to create a more open feeling. It’s turned into a lovely breakfast nook with a leather bench and a small bistro table with marble top.
