Pink and Green Rooms in a Bright Early 20th-Century Apartment
This bright apartment is located in an early 20th-century apartment building on a quiet and green street in the Gröndal area of Stockholm. With Lake Mälaren as your close neighbor and the apartment’s top-floor position with sky views, this is a little oasis close to the city center.
The 71-square-meter apartment has been carefully renovated, adding lavish materials alongside the preserved original charm of the turn-of-the-century. Original elements such as the large bay window and the fireplace add character, while the furnishings make this apartment suitable for present-day living.
The bright and spacious living room is the heart of the home. The bay window (and the apartment’s high locations) floods the room with natural light.
Built-in bookshelves with arches grace one wall. They remind me of the bookshelves in influencer Kate Spiers’ former home.
The space in the bay window is the perfect spot for a large dining table.
A cozy sitting area has been created on the other side of the room, by the original fireplace. A modern gray sofa is paired with a pink Faye Toogood chair.
The fireplace features beautiful purple floral decorations.
From the living room you move into the kitchen in the center of the apartment.
The renovated kitchen has been designed in a style that suits the turn-of-the-century building. Light gray cabinets are paired with brass knobs, a Carrara marble countertop, and classic white backsplash tiles.
Glass cabinets run up toward the ceiling, maximizing storage space.
The apartment’s two bedrooms can be accessed via this kitchen/hall.
The master bedroom is a spacious room with access to the courtyard balcony.
The room is painted in a soft pink shade, and one wall is fitted with built-in wardrobes painted in the same hue as the walls, creating a harmonious look.
The spacious balcony faces the courtyard, but thanks to the apartment top floor position you see more of the sky than of the surrounding buildings.
The second bedroom is smaller but still a pleasant space. It could be a great nursery or a home office. This room is also fitted with built-in wardrobes.
The door leading to this bedroom is made of glass, so a pink curtain can be drawn to add privacy.
The bathroom pairs a turn-of-the-century style with modern touches. The marble tiles on the floor are paired with classic white tiling on the walls.
The apartment is listed for sale at Svenska Mäklarhuset.
