An Original Kitchen in a Small 1930s Apartment

This charming and light one-bedroom apartment is located on the first floor of a 1930s building in Stora Essingen, a small island in the center of Stockholm, which is a little oasis surrounded by nature.

The 41-square-meter apartment features original elements such as a herringbone parquet floor, window frames, and the kitchen interior. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, and a window between the bedroom and the kitchen ensures the latter also receives daylight.

The entire apartment is painted with lime paint, which softly captures the natural light coming from the windows.
