A Calm Color Palette in a Charming Swedish Apartment

In a beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment building in Gothenburg lies this pretty one-bedroom apartment with fine original joinery, high ceilings, and wooden floorboards. The 60 square meter apartment has a typical Swedish layout where the living room and the bedroom are located in a row divided by pretty double wooden doors.

The entire apartment is painted in a calm color palette of beige and gray tones, highlighting the original features of the early 20th-century home. The period elements are paired with a contemporary interior style, including a modern solid ash kitchen.
