Colorful and Light Rooms in a Swedish One-Bedroom Apartment

If you want to paint every wall (and ceiling) in your house without feeling overwhelmed, you should take a look at this charming one-bedroom apartment in the Swedish city of Malmö. This 62-square-meter 1930s apartment has every room painted in a different color, from pastel yellow to green.

Despite the modest floor plan, the apartment feels spacious and bright thanks to the large windows in two directions and the open floor plan with an inner hall that serves as an extra room.
