Floral Wallpaper and a Pink Kitchen in a Midcentury Apartment

In the Swedish city of Gothenburg, we can tour this charming one-bedroom apartment of 57 square meters. The apartment features floral wallpaper in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom as well as pink and yellow color accents.

The apartment has a warm and cozy atmosphere, and the feeling from the 1940s has been preserved. The many original details, like the kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, parquet floors in Dutch design, and the limestone windowsills, give the apartment a charming look.

The living room is decorated with the Ingrid Marie wallpaper from Boråstapeter, which is paired with the original parquet floor and midcentury furnishings.

The dark wallpaper works in this room thanks to the large south-facing bay window and balcony door that let in plenty of natural light.

The kitchen was completely renovated in recent years, but the midcentury charm has remained. The walls are decorated in the Dahlia Garden wallpaper from Boråstapeter, which is paired with walls painted in ‘Pink Ground’ by Farrow and Ball.

A lovely dining nook has been created with a midcentury table and wishbone chairs. The colors of the bench and the cushions are taken from the wallpaper.

A desk has been created between the wardrobes and the wall. This cozy nook is perfect for a small home office. The walls are painted in the same yellow tone that you see in the rest of the apartment.
