A Grand Early 20th-Century Apartment in Stockholm

In a stately National Romantic corner apartment complex in Stockholm, you can find this grand 249 square meter apartment with seven rooms and loads of original features.

The apartment features many of its original details, like stucco, ceiling rosettes, herringbone parquet flooring, bay windows, and mirrored doors. The rooms are generous and airy thanks to the many windows and a ceiling height of 3.15 meters.

The historic architecture and original features are paired with stylish contemporary Scandinavian design pieces, adding even more grandeur to the stylish home.

The dining room and kitchen are designed in a semi-open floor plan with three windows in a row facing the street. The large dining area has plenty of room for a big table and seating, creating a space that’s perfect for socializing.

The color scheme is light and neutral with a very light gray hue on the walls, white joinery, and a dark stained herringbone parquet floor.

The kitchen was built on site and features black cabinets with a thick composite countertop and classic white subway tiles as backsplash. Victorian tiles lie on the floor, adding to the classic ambiance of the room.

The living room is a grand and stylish room on the corner of the apartment, so there are windows on two sides. The living room is designed in the same style as the dining room with a dark stained parquet floor, light gray walls, and white joinery.

Sliding wooden doors open up to the home library with custom bookcases.

Many old Swedish apartments have an inner hall that can be used as a home office or an extra bedroom. In this apartment, it is a cozy sitting room featuring a stylish fireplace, leaded window, stucco, ceiling rose, wall paneling, and dark-stained herringbone parquet. The walls are a light beige color, which contrasts nicely with the white joinery.

The apartment has two preserved serving aisles with original black cabinets reaching all the way up to the ceiling. The oak floorboards are dark stained and one of the serving aisles opens into a small balcony.

Like the rest of the apartment, the master bedroom is a serene space with a dark wooden floor paired with neutral-colored textiles. The walls are decorated with a lovely striped wallpaper.

The bay window is turned into a charming window seat.

The apartment has two bathrooms and a laundry room that are all designed in a classic black and white palette.
