A Classic & Cozy Apartment Painted in Pastel Pink and Blue

In a quiet location in central Stockholm, in the chic area of Östermalm, lies a beautiful classic apartment in a building that dates back to the 1890s. The 61 square meters apartment is situated on a cozy courtyard, which is very common for Swedish apartment buildings.

The l-shaped apartment is decorated in a classic design with antique furnishings, pastel blue and pink wall colors, and rich color accents in the home accessories. The apartment has been renovated in recent years when a new kitchen was added and all surfaces were given a fresh update.

at the moment, the apartment has one bedroom, but the floorplan can easily be redesigned to place the kitchen in the wide hallway (now used as a home office) and a second bedroom in the room which is now the kitchen.

The living room is centrally located in the apartment with on one side the bedroom and the hallway/home office on the other side.

The walls in the living room are painted in a fresh pastel blue shade which is complimented with antique furniture and textiles in deep and warm color tones.

One wall in the living room has been fitted with built-in bookcases painted in a classic creme shade.

From the living room, you enter the bedroom painted in a lovely pink shade.

The history of the apartment is visible in the deep marble window sills.

a wardrobe has been created with copper rods and white drawers. The wardrobe can be hidden from view b silk pink curtains.

The new kitchen has a classic design. Its white mirrored fronts with brass fittings are paired with a quartzite worktop and backslash and a hand-knocked brass sink and mixer from Tapwell.

The kitchen is small so the owners used every inch of space they could work with by adding a double row of upper cabinets.

The inner hall is wallpapered with a toile de jouy wallpaper in white and blue paired with joinery that is painted black.
