A Light-Colored Studio Apartment with a Cozy Kitchen

This charming studio apartment with exposed brick and a cozy kitchen lies on the first floor of a 1920s building in Gothenburg. The 32-square-meter apartment has a combined living room and bedroom and a separate kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook.

The small apartment features period elements like an exposed brick wall, creaking floorboards, mirror doors, and a built-in kitchen serving cabinet. These historical elements are combined with a typical Scandinavian interior, using a light color palette and layered textiles.

The combined living room and bedroom is small but charming. A large window floods the room with natural light, and the exposed brick wall adds character to the space.

The walls are painted in an off-white shade and the creaking floorboards are also painted white for a fresh look. These light color tones are combined with layered textiles in a light color scheme.

A large fluffy rug sits in the center of the room, adding a warm and inviting element to the room.

On the other side of the hall lies the charming kitchen, which is the heart of the home.

The kitchen is a charming space with original cabinets and a charming breakfast nook with a built-in seating bench in front of the window.

A cozy kitchen dining area has been created under the window overlooking the courtyard. A built-in bench provides plenty of seating, and a vintage wooden folding table adds charm.

The kitchen is a combination of original white-painted cabinets with modern appliances. Simple white tiles form the backsplash, and one wall is painted in a contrasting dark blue shade.

The original serving cabinets from the 1920s have been preserved.

The hall is spacious and connects the living area on one side and the kitchen on the other. The original floorboards are painted white and a charming bench has been fitted into the corner.
