Historic Elegance and a French-Style Kitchen and Bathroom in a Stockholm Apartment
On the top floor of a beautiful property from the 1880s in Stockholm lies this beautiful, renovated apartment that pairs period features with contemporary furnishings and a contrasting color palette of grays and blues with pink tones.
The rooms are arranged in a row, and the five large windows flood the spaces with natural light, primarily due to the apartment’s high elevation.
Original elements from the late 19th century, like pine floorboards, a fireplace, high skirting boards, cornices, and deep window niches, have been preserved or tastefully recreated. In recent years, the home has been tastefully renovated with respect to the apartment’s original character.
The living room is located at the center of the apartment, flanked by the kitchen on one side and the bedroom on the other.
The living room is bathed in natural light thanks to its large southern-facing windows.
The room’s original features, such as large windows with mirrored niches, high skirting boards, original doors, ceiling rose, and cornices, give the room a unique character.
A large dining table with a bench and chairs sits in front of the large windows, making it a perfect spot for social gatherings.
The small kitchen is warm and decorated in a charming French bistro style. The red cabinet doors are paired with classic white metro tiles, a butler sink, wooden shelves, and pink walls.
The classic black and white floor adds to the bistro style, and it also suits the apartment’s building period perfectly.
The walls are painted in Jotun’s “Blushing Peach” shade.
On the other side of the living room lies the apartment’s spacious bedroom with the same soap-scrubbed wooden floorboards and large windows letting in plenty of natural light.
The room is big enough for a home office or a lounge area by the windows.
The room features the stylish Distrikt Bed by BrandsCPH.
A long hall, painted in a warm pink tone, connects the rooms in the apartment and features a walk-in wardrobe on one end and the bathroom and guest toilet on the other side.
An original serving cabinet hints at the apartment’s building period.
More storage space is added by the front door, which is hidden from view by a patterned curtain.
The bathroom is located next to the kitchen and features an internal window, ensuring the space also receives natural light from the kitchen window.
The bathroom was renovated by its current owner in a French style, featuring white wall tiles and a patterned floor, similar to the kitchen. A smart niche has been added for the washer and dryer with painted shelves to add more storage.
The same French style continues into the guest toilet, featuring the Arbutus wallpaper by William Morris and blue-patterned floor tiles.
The apartment is listed for sale at Alexander White.
