Historic Character and Color in a Swedish Studio Apartment
This studio apartment is located in a historic 1920s building in a charming area of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city. The 40-square-meter apartment features original elements, including wooden floorboards, windows, a ceiling rose, and radiators, adding historic charm to the rooms.
While the kitchen and bathroom are renovated, the historic vibe of the apartment remains intact thanks to the selection of furnishings with mid-century elements and the color scheme of blue, gray, and yellow.
The main room features a dull blue shade on the walls paired with white-painted floorboards.
The room is quite spacious and features a comfortable seating area with an ochre-yellow sofa and two rattan chairs.
The large window is original and features a stone window sill.
The other side of the room is used for sleeping with a double bed against two walls and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes that add plenty of storage.
Through a brightly painted yellow hallway with tongue-and-groove paneling you enter the renovated kitchen.
The spacious kitchen faces the courtyard and offers a charming view of lilacs in bloom through the original glass.
One wall is fitted with modern cabinets painted in a soothing green shade paired with a brass faucet and knobs, a white countertop, and classic white backsplash tiles.
The original floorboards are painted in a striking red shade.
The paneled wall on the other side has been fitted with mirrors, making the kitchen feel bigger than its actual size. But even so, there is plenty of room for a generous dining table.
In the corner (next to the window) is the original cold pantry.
The bathroom is the most modern space in the apartment. Freshly renovated, it now boasts white and black tiles and a white vanity cabinet.
The hall connects the kitchen on one side and the main room on the other. The tongue-and-groove paneling is pianted in a cheerful yellow shade paired with white-painted floorboards.
Storage is added by this practical hat shelf next to a built-in wardrobe.
The apartment is listed for sale at Alvhem.
