Historic Charm and an Industrial Glass Wall in a Stockholm Apartment
This charming apartment is located on the second floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in Stockholm. The charming apartment has a wonderful social kitchen with a window seat and a walk-in pantry, and a large bedroom that has been divided into two rooms.
The apartment, built in 1913, has the charm of an old building with historical elements like exposed brick and original cabinets, paired with contemporary additions like an industrial steel room divider and wardrobes.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. It has been designed to resemble a farmhouse kitchen with a charming window seat facing the courtyard and a round wooden table in the center.
The IKEA kitchen cabinets are paired with a ceramic countertop and classic, square white tiles as the backsplash.
The charming window seat with storage underneath adds to the social atmosphere of the kitchen.
In the corner, an original pantry offers storage and a historic touch.
Next to the fridge and freezer is a pantry that used to be the kitchen entrance. The green-painted tongue-and-groove paneled walls suit the historic building style perfectly.
On the other side of the hall lies the living room featuring the original wooden floor and soft pink walls.
An original built-in cabinet has been opened, creating a charming storage niche. The bookshelves are painted in the same color as the walls, creating a calm look.
The living room gives access to the bedroom. This room used to be one big space, but now it has been turned into two smaller rooms with an industrial glass wall with a sliding door separating the two spaces.
The larger room is now decorated as the master bedroom and this area can also be accessed via the central hall.
Built-in floor-to-ceiling wardrobes with leather handles offer plenty of storage.
The hall features a beautiful exposed brick doorway, showcasing the 100-year history of the apartment.
