Limewash Wall and Period Features in a Swedish Apartment

On the first floor of a beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment building in Gothenburg, this charming one-bedroom apartment has large windows, period features, and gray limewash walls.

An impressive ceiling height of 3.1 meters, rooms in a row, large barred windows, and period details such as stucco, ceiling rosettes, and original wooden floors give the apartment a lovely atmosphere. The entire apartment (except the hall) is decorated in a palette of gray-beige, black, and white, giving the home a serene atmosphere.

The kitchen is a room where old and new are combined. A modern white kitchen with classic white backsplash tiles is paired with beautiful stucco and cornicing that really stand out against the beige-gray limewash walls.
