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.

The living room is the spacious heart of the home, featuring the original parquet floor laid in a herringbone pattern and gray-painted lime walls.


A large dining table with a mosaic table top sits in front of the large windows, surrounded by classic Italian Cesca chairs.


One wall is fitted with bookshelves, decorated with a large mirror which reflects the natural light.


On the other side of the room is a charming sitting area with a door leading to a spacious built-in closet.







From the living room, you move into the tiny bedroom, painted a deep forest green, with white-painted floorboards.


Orange and yellow tones in the bedding and art add a warm vibe to the small space. On the right is a traditional window allowing light to flow into the kitchen space.




The apartment features a classic 1930s kitchen with preserved cabinet interiors, white-tiled walls, and a stainless-steel worktop. The kitchen space features two original built-in cabinets, as well as shelves and lower cabinets, providing plenty of storage space.





The hall features a traditional hat rack from Gunnar Bolin and a shoe rack in birch. The walls are painted in a light lime-blossom green, and the floor is covered with Moroccan tiles in white and light gray.
The apartment was listed for sale at Historiska Hem.
