An Elegant Turn-of-the-Century Apartment in Stockholm
On the top floor of a turn-of-the-century apartment building in Stockholm lies this airy and elegant apartment. The recently renovated apartment of 124 square meters features open spaces, a sober and light color scheme, high-quality materials, and abundant natural light.
High ceilings and many beautiful details, such as herringbone-patterned oak parquet, slatted windows, double wood and glass doors, high floor plinths, and stucco, bring character to the interior spaces.
The spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room is the heart of the home and features double doors leading to a sunny balcony.
The classic kitchen was built on site and glass and closed gray cabinets paired with brass handles and fittings, a Carrara marble worktop, and a butler sink.
The kitchen island works as a natural divider between the kitchen and dining area. The island features a leather bench instead of bar stools which is not something you see often, but it does create a cleaner look.
The dinng table is set next to the doors leading to the balcony so there is a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living.
Through a pair of beautiful wooden doors you enter the sitting room. The room can be accessed through these doors in the kitchen/dining room or through the sliding doors in the hallway.
Thanks to the doors that can be open fully, the room becomes part of the rest of the living spaces. But when closed, it becomes a nice private spot. This could also be a great home office.
I love the built in ledge in the hallway which is perfect for displaying art, books, and other objects.
Currently, there are only two berooms in this house, but it can easily be turned into a four bedroom home. But the current owners use this light pink room as a television room.
This room is unique as the original staircase of the apartment compex used to run in this rounded room. It is now turned into a home office.
The master bedroom is a classic and serene space with beige walls, light gray carpeting, and floor to ceiling wardrobes.
The master bedroom also gives access to a second balcony.
The en suite bathroom features a bath, a large mirror which makes the room feel larger, and granite ceramic tiles.
The second bathroom is small but thanks to the light coloring, the window, and a large mirror it feels larger than it is.
