A Charming Apartment with Period Details in Malmö
In a traditional 1920s building in the Swedish city of Malmö lies this charming one-bedroom apartment with original turn-of-the-century elements and cozy rooms. The apartment features period elements like the original wooden floors, mouth-blown windows, mirror doors, and stucco.
This charming historical base is paired with a cozy interior using a lovely color scheme where light, neutral tones are paired with earthy textiles, natural materials, layered textiles, and plants.
The living room is a charming small room with walls painted in two shades of gray. The top part of the wall is painted white, like the ceiling, to make the ceiling look higher.
The beautiful original wooden floorboards add a warm touch to the apartment and are paired with vintage art, plants, and furniture in natural materials.
From the living room, an original mirror door gives access to the apartment’s only bedroom.
The same interior style continues in the bedroom. The walls are painted gray and paired with layered textiles and plants.
Most of the kitchen furnishings is original to the house. The 1920s cabinets (white, glass-fronted upper cabinets and black lower cabinets) are paired with a modern concrete countertop and white subway tiles.
A new kitchen island has been added to the kitchen, designed in a similar style as the original cupboards.
The area under the window is the perfect spot for a small dining table.
Like many old Swedish apartments, the hall is divided into an entry area and an inner hall. This is usually a more spacious area, connecting all the rooms in the house, that can also be used as a bedroom, a reading nook, or, like in this home, as a home office.
The hall has been fitted with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes painted in a mint green shade.
The bathroom is designed in a classic style, suiting the apartments building period. On the floor lies a combination of Marrakech-inspired and gray tiles.
The bathroom also features this charming built-in glass cabinets with built-in lighting.
The apartment is listed for sale at Bolaget.
