A Charming Small Apartment with a Fresh White Kitchen

In a pretty 1930s building in Stockholm lies this charming one-bedroom apartment that the current owner has called home for nineteen years. You can see that the apartment was much-loved by the owner, the rooms are lovely, and a new kitchen was installed recently.

The apartment has a spacious hall with the living room on one side, facing the courtyard, and the kitchen and bedroom on the other side. The wooden floors, herringbone parquet, mirrored doors, and windows with deep niches are all original from the 1930s, creating a lovely historical touch to the interior spaces.

The furnishings are a lovely blend of old and new. A contemporary gray sofa with colorful accents is paired with an antique lamp and a vintage cabinet.

The apartment is small, and there is no space for a wardrobe in the bedroom, so the owner fitted one wall in the living room with wardrobes and mirror sliding doors. It provides a lot of storage space while also making the living room feel larger and lighter, thanks to the mirror doors.

The kitchen was renovated a couple of years ago and it is now a fresh white space with room for a tiny bistro table.

The (original) wooden floorboards, tiled walls, and kitchen cabinets are all white. This is paired with brass fittings and a gray-green wall painted in ‘Tant Johannas gröna’ by Nordsjö.
