Painted Floorboards in a Unique Family Home in Sweden
A charming yellow villa in Tureberg, not far from central Stockholm, is home to a unique family home with painted floorboards, a sleek black kitchen, and many bedrooms and bathrooms.
The villa from the 1930s was completely renovated in recent years, blending period features with contemporary elements and tasteful materials, making sure the home can last another 100 years.
It is a unique property with outbuildings and large commercial spaces. It used to be the home of the famous Swedish antique dealer Carsten Cederstrand, and it housed milk, meat, and spice shops before that. But we are focusing on the living spaces of this yellow villa.
The living room is a spacious room with large windows that flood the room with light. The walls are painted white but the floorboards make this room pop as they are painted in a bold red shade.
An old shop door from the year the house was built has been installed and separates the living room from the kitchen. It is a nice little nod to the history of the building.
The kitchen blends sleek modern cabinets with historic elements like the gray painted floorboards and a historic William Morris wallpaper (The Brook).
The modern black kitchen cabinets have a durable steel countertop and brass fittings.
The spacious kitchen space has plenty of room for a large dinner table and the door leads out to the outdoor terrace so it’s easy to move the dinner party to the garden.
There is a bathroom on the ground floor with an original built-in bath under the window, storage niches, a classic English-style sink, and walls and floor made of micro cement.
The bedroom on the ground floor is a lovely room for a child with green-painted floorboards and an antique desk.
The glass veranda is turned into a hall with a stone floor and a bench under the window.
The red-painted staircase opens up to the private sitting room on the first floor. The ceiling has been opened up to create more volume and expose the wooden beams.
Sliding doors separate the master bedroom from the living room. Here, the ceiling has also been opened up to create a spectacular bedroom space with a high-pitched ceiling.
The en-suite bathroom has an original built-in bathtub and it is decorated with classic limestone-colored tiles.
Most bedrooms have their own bathroom. This bathroom is designed in the same style as the master suite bathroom, but it has a walk-in shower.
On the basement floor, two extra bedrooms and a bathroom have been created.
The basement bathroom is a cheerful space with terrazzo floor tiles, white tiles, and red grout.
