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.
