A Bright Swedish Apartment with Period Features and a Green Kitchen

This one-bedroom apartment lies in a stunning turn-of-the-century corner property in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. The 62-square-meter apartment features original elements from the late 19th century and contemporary additions that blend seamlessly into the old home.

The apartment features large windows facing the park, creating wonderfully bright rooms with an open view. Period elements like tongue-and-groove paneling and a traditional Swedish fireplace have been preserved, while the kitchen and the bathroom were recently renovated, bringing this home to the 21st century.
