Preserved Details and a Warm Yellow Kitchen in a 1920s Apartment
This charming apartment is located on the top floor of a 1920s building in Gothenburg. The 50-square-meter apartment features preserved original details, a renovated kitchen in a traditional style, and a fun color palette.
The apartment features a wonderful color palette in which calm, neutral tones are paired with brighter pops of color. The kitchen cabinets are painted in a warm yellow shade; the living room features a light blue ceiling; and even the built-in closet is painted in a nice green hue.
The kitchen was renovated in 2025, with great respect for the soul of the house and material and color choices that harmonize with the original elements.
By the window, there is plenty of room for a breakfast table, and with a wooden bench, there are plenty of seats for an entire family.
The kitchen cabinets are painted in Antique Yellow, a timeless hue that pairs beautifully with the oak countertop.
The paneled walls add a historic touch to the kitchen space.
The kitchen features an original, site-built display cabinet that is both practical and decorative.
The apartment isn’t very large, but the living room and the kitchen are pretty spacious. The living room has enough room for a comfortable seating area and a large dining table.
The room features original elements, such as light-colored wooden floors that have aged with dignity, classic cast-iron fixtures, and built-in cabinets.
The built-in cabinet in the corner is painted in a deep green hue.
The walls are painted in a light beige, while the ceiling is painted in a fresh, contrasting blue. The green hue of the built-in cabinet is repeated on the shelf above the sofa.
The bedroom is comfortable and faces the leafy courtyard. The walls are painted in a soothing light gray hue.
The ceiling height has been maximized by adding floor-to-ceiling wardrobes that extend above the doorframe.
The bathroom is small, yet functional, with green mosaic tiles on the walls and beige tiles on the floor.
A mirror cabinet hangs above the ceiling, and baskets hang from the bathroom door, adding storage space. Hidden behind a curtain under the sink is more storage space and a washing machine.
