A Small, Tastefully Renovated Apartment in Stockholm

On a quiet street in the Vasastan district of Stockholm stands a stately 19th-century apartment complex that houses this small 39-square-meter apartment. In recent years, the apartment was renovated to showcase a perfect blend of modern and classic design.

Despite the small floor plan, the layout of the apartment is optimal and offers a social living room, a well-planned kitchen with plenty of storage, and a cozy bedroom with room for a double bed. The large windows with deep window sills flood the rooms with natural light, and the home also showcases original elements such as mirror doors, stucco, and high baseboards, which add character to the spaces.

The living room is a beautiful, light space with stucco, ceiling rosette, high baseboards, and fine wall profiles. There is plenty of room for a seating area and a large dining table.

The color palette is calm and inviting, the natural base of white walls and light wooden floorboards are paired with green and sand tones.

The apartment has a tiny bedroom, so the wardrobe is in the living room. You must be pretty neat if you want to opt for an open wardrobe in this space.

The hall and kitchen are designed in one big open space, which is smart for such a small home. It’s a pretty spacious kitchen for the size of the apartment, and it features cream-colored cabinets paired with a classic marble worktop and brass handles.

There is no direct outside window in the kitchen, but the wall between the kitchen and the bedroom does have a window, so the room is still bright.

The cozy bedroom lies next to the living room and features a beautiful olive green wall which accentuate the white moulding.
