Pink and Blue Tones in a Late 19th-Century Apartment

This charming two-bedroom apartment is located in a beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment complex in Gothenburg. The 77 square meter home features period elements from the late 19th-century and a pink and blue color scheme.

The apartment was recently renovated, creating contemporary interiors with beautiful original elements like stucco, built-in wardrobes, and wooden doors that add character to the rooms. Large windows in two directions create a bright atmosphere, and the two balconies let you enjoy the sunshine throughout the day.
