Painted Ceilings and a Light Yellow Kitchen in a Swedish Apartment

This charming 70-square-meter apartment is located on the ground floor of a late-19th-century apartment building in Stockholm. The turn-of-the-century home has been carefully renovated, pairing stylish materials and modern amenities with original elements.

Thanks to the apartment’s courtyard location, the home is wonderfully quiet and offers views of the lush inner garden through the large, original windows. Late 19th-century elements such as tiled fireplaces, wooden floorboards, and stucco have been preserved, adding historic elegance to the light-colored interior spaces.

The current owners decorated the living room with only a sitting area, featuring a checkered rug, a white sofa, a Le Corbusier lounge chair, and an Arne Norell “Scirocco” safari chair. But there is enough room for a dining table or a home office in front of the windows.
