A Small Pink and Blue Apartment with High Ceilings in Stockholm
On one of the finest streets in the Östermalm area in Stockholm lies a beautiful building from 1888 housing this charming apartment with high ceilings, period details, and a pink and blue color palette.
The apartment has a floor plan of only 34 square meters, but thanks to the extremely high ceilings of 3.45 meters, the little home feels spacious and airy. This high ceiling has also been used to create a loft bed in the inner hall, opening up the space underneath for a home office.

The apartment has old-fashioned elegance thanks to period features like stucco, ceiling rose, mirrored doors, and barred windows. The classic herringbone parquet floor continues this elegant style.
The period features are paired with contemporary interiors. The main room is decorated with a lovely pink sofa and a fluffy white rug, as well as a round dining table.
The walls are painted in a light blue shade, accentuating the whtite-painted period features.
The large window with deep window niche overlooks the charming courtyard.
Intricate period features add a classic and elegant look to the apartment.
The door opens into a built-in wardrobe. There is also a built-in wardrobe in the hall, so the rooms don’t need large storage furniture, maintaining an open and airy feeling.
There is an open doorway between the living room and the inner hall, which makes the small home feel more spacious. The inner hall is painted in a charming pink shade and furnished as a home office.
The kitchen is tiny but well-planned and stylish. The white kitchen cabinets are paired with a warm wooden countertop, brass fittings, and a brass backsplash, adding a luxurious touch to the tiny space.
On the other side, the niche is fitted with shelves painted in the same pink color as the walls. A classic dark gray tile floor lies on the floor.
In the inner hall, the high ceilings have been used to its advantage. The stairs lead to a charming sleeping loft.
