A Renovated Apartment in Lisbon’s Oldest Neighborhood

This recently renovated apartment with custom finishes curated by stylist Rebecka Fransen is located in Alfama, the oldest cultural and historical neighborhood in Lisbon. The 135-square-meter apartment was transformed from its original three-bedroom layout to a luxurious one-bedroom suite, including a walk-in wardrobe.

Just steps away from the iconic Sé Cathedral, this apartment combines fine design and high-quality finishes. The light-filled apartment offers beautiful views of the river, and the light color scheme with shades by Farrow & Ball paired with historical elements creates a serene atmosphere.

Sunlight flows into the charming living room with light-plastered walls and a neutral color scheme. The open-plan living room and kitchen are the heart of the home and are framed by windows overlooking the Lisbon skyline.

The kitchen is simple but striking. White cabinets are paired with a marble countertop and backsplash. One simple shelf above the workspace offers a place to display your favorite glasses and earthware.

The large round walnut dining table in the center of the room offers plenty of seating space for wonderful dinner parties.

The master bedroom is decorated in the same neutral palette as the rest of the house. The apartment features bespoke carpentry, custom skirting boards, and a carefully designed lighting plan featuring dimmable options throughout.

As the apartment is turned from a three-bedroom space to a one-bedroom suite, there is plenty of room for a large walk-in closet with large mirrors, making the room feel bigger and lighter.

Just as in the kitchen, the bathroom has a luxurious look thanks to the use of marble tiles paired with chrome fittings.
