Limewash Walls in Muted Tones in a Swedish Apartment

In a 1940s apartment building in the Södermalm area of Stockholm lies this recently renovated three-bedroom apartment with limewash walls in muted colors. The entire apartment was renovated, creating contemporary spaces and a functional open floor plan.

Although the apartment is only 66 square meters, it features three bedrooms and a pleasant open-plan living room and kitchen that feels spacious. All details have been carefully selected to create a unified feel—everything from the new interior doors and walnut moldings to updated electrical outlets and switches that blend perfectly with the interior.
