A Charming Apartment Painted in a Muted Color Palette

With beige walls and muted blue-gray woodwork, this turn-of-the-century apartment in Stockholm is a calm and stylish home. The 117-square-meter apartment was recently renovated, and a new kitchen and bathroom were added.

Herringbone parquet and wooden floorboards are found in all rooms, and walls, joinery, and elements are painted in soft shades that both harmonize and contrast. The decor of the three-bedroom home is a combination of contemporary and vintage style, creating a charming and comfortable home.

The kitchen and living room are the social heart of the apartment. The kitchen was moved to this location during the renovation, creating plenty of workspace, space for a large dining table, and with a connection to the sitting room.

This kitchen shows that you don’t have to spend a fortune on a beautiful kitchen. This kitchen comes from Ikea and has hand-painted doors in a calm blue-gray shade. The cabinets are topped with marble worktops.

The combination of closed cabinets and a mixture of hanging rails and hooks add a lived-in look to the space. The cream colored English-style tiles run all the way to the ceiling and match the color of the walls.
