A Soft Palette with Red Accents in a Stockholm Apartment
On a high floor in a 1930s apartment building in Stockholm’s trendy Södermalm district, this small apartment pairs a soft color base with red accents and a spectacular treetop view.
The 48-square-meter apartment has a well-laid-out floor plan, with a central kitchen flanked by the living room and bedroom, plus windows in two directions that create bright, comfortable living spaces.
The living room is bright and comfortable, featuring the apartment’s highlight: a spectacular view through the French windows overlooking Lilla Blecktornsparken and Katarina Bangata’s beautiful chestnut alley.
The herringbone parquet floor and beige walls create a classic base for the interiors. There is a comfortable seating area with a red-striped sofa in front of the French windows and space for a dining table close to the kitchen.
Throughout the home, you find red accents. The living room features a red sofa cover, as well as red cupboards with bookshelves and a red pillow.
The love of red continues in the kitchen where cabinets along one wall are painted in a beautiful, warm English red shade.
The kitchen features classic beige-and-red cabinets that match the apartment’s building period. And with storage on either side, it is practical as well as stylish for such a small apartment.
The cabinets on this side feature an open, integrated wine storage cabinet.
From the kitchen, you move into the bedroom on the other side of the apartment. The room features built-in wardrobes on either side and an oak parquet floor paired with the same beige walls as the living room.
The bedroom window overlooks the courtyard, and you can also see the spire of the Sofia Church.
The hall is decorated with Boråstapeter’s “Hanna” wallpaper, designed by creator and stylist Hanna Marzouki Widlund, inspired by an antique mural seen on the designer’s travels.
The simple bathroom features colorful Moroccan-style floor tiles, paired with simple white wall tiles.
The apartment is listed for sale at Bjurfors.
