Pastel Hues in a Light-Filled 1880s Apartment in Stockholm

This one-bedroom apartment is located on the fourth floor of a beautiful 1880s apartment building in the Södermalm area of Stockholm. It’s a charming home that feels spacious, thanks to its high ceilings, light color palette, and open connecting spaces with glass doors and large windows.

The surfaces have been carefully renovated, incorporating pastel hues of blue and yellow into the interior spaces, which creates a soft and inviting atmosphere.

Historical details such as stucco, plank floors, and the original parquet have been preserved and supplemented with newer elements in a period style.

The living room is a light-colored and inviting space overlooking the Art Nouveau houses on the opposite side of the street. Thanks to the apartment’s high location and the broad street, plenty of natural light flows through the windows.
