A Light Swedish Apartment with a Green Living Room

Just west of central Stockholm lies an area with mainly 1930s buildings. On the third floor of one of these early 20th-century apartment buildings lies this charming light-filled apartment with a green open-plan living space.

From the central hall, you can move left to the open-plan living room and kitchen and right to the two bedrooms. The apartment has windows on two sides and also two balconies from which you can enjoy the surrounding landscape.

The living area is a bright space with large windows and a light wooden floor. The walls are painted in a natural green shade, matching the greenery you see outside the windows.

The upper part of the walls is painted white, just like the ceiling, which makes the ceiling look higher than it is.

The room has plenty of space for a comfortable seating area, a large dining table, and a large kitchen that spans the entire wall. The dried flowers above the dining table are a wonderful eye-catcher.

The kitchen is a custom-built Nordic Ecolabel kitchen from Marbodal with extra deep countertops to create plenty of space to work on.

The kitchen runs the entire width of the wall, and the white tile backsplash adds a fresh note to it. Glass-fronted upper cabinets run up to the ceiling, maximizing storage space.

From the living room balcony you have a charming view of the tree rooftops in the park opposite the house.

Extra wide doorways to the inner hall add a sense of space to the living area and helps to let natural light flow into the central part of the home.

The inner hall is fitted with custom bookshelves with storage cabinets on the lower half.

From the inner hall, you move through a smaller passage with doors to built-in wardrobes and the bathroom to the two bedrooms on the other side of the apartment.

The two bedrooms lie next to each other, they are separated by a barred glass wall with double doors to the second bedroom.

The master bedroom lies in the back with its own balcony looking out over the street. The room has calm gray-beige walls and two open wardrobes from IKEA.
