Period Features and Light Colors in a One-Bedroom Apartment

This charming one-bedroom apartment is located between two peaceful courtyards in Stockholm. The muted color palette and original details, such as the wooden floors, stucco, high skirting boards, mirror doors, and tiled fireplaces, turn this 52-square-meter apartment into a warm and inviting home.

The small apartment has an ideal layout, with a semi-open plan living room and kitchen and a spacious bedroom with a courtyard balcony. The high windows in opposite directions let in plenty of light, and at night, the two fireplaces turn the apartment into a cozy haven.

cozy living room with ochre yellow chair and fireplace

The sitting room is small but just big enough for a comfortable sofa and a small dining table. The walls are papered in a light gray wallpaper, accentuating the mirror doors, the stucco, and the high skirting boards.

The wooden floorboards add warmth to the light-decorated room. From the living room, there’s an open connection with the kitchen without the feeling that the kitchen is in the middle of the sitting room.

The small kitchen is designed to optimize the available storage space with a double row of upper cabinets. The white cupboards are paired with a black worktop and gilded handles.
