A Stylish and Joyful Color and Material Palette in a Midcentury Apartment

This colorful one-bedroom apartment is located in a 1940s building perched atop one of the hills of Mälarhöjden, surrounded by residential areas, with the glistering waters of Lake Mälaren right outside the home.

The apartment is a joyful celebration of color and materials, from a pink living room to a baby blue bedroom ceiling. The home perfectly balances a contemporary color palette with original midcentury elements.

The living room is a charming space where two shades of pink create a warm and cozy atmosphere. The blush pink walls and shelves are paired with a deep, terracotta pink on the ceiling.

The beige IKEA Jättebo sofa is a calm element in the room, paired with colorful textiles and decor in pastel tones.

Shelves have been fitted along one wall, painted in the same color as the walls, to provide plenty of storage for books and trinkets.

Even though the apartment is located in Stockholm, the views from the windows are magnificent. Large green trees can be seen from the living room window, while the kitchen windows offer views of Lake Mälaren.

On the other side of the hall, through double glass doors, lies the charming kitchen with warm wooden floorboards, a dining table, and deep red kitchen cabinets.

The classic kitchen cabinets are painted in a deep burgundy shade, paired with buttery-yellow walls.

There is a French bistro atmosphere in this Swedish kitchen. The open shelves, art on the walls, and table with vintage chairs add a cozy, personal, and lived-in feeling to the room.

The large kitchen window offers a view of the lake right outside the apartment.

I love shelves in the kitchen for displaying books, glassware, and crockery.

The bedroom is decorated in a calmer palette with white walls and a baby blue ceiling.

There are wardrobes on two sides of the bedroom. On one side, an open wardrobe system is hidden from view with a sheer curtain.

The bedroom is decorated in a combination of baby blue and beige, creating a calm and harmonious look that is perfect for sleeping.

Two shelves have been fitted against the wall in the corner by the window, creating a small but practical home office. Next to the home office are doors leading to the second built-in wardrobe, which can also be accessed via the hall.

The bathroom is small but perfectly designed with green tiles on the floor and beige tiles, placed vertically to accentuate the high ceilings, on the walls.

In the corner, next to the rounded wall from the central staircase, is a washing corner. The washing machine is hidden from view with a curtain, and shelves with baskets have been fitted above to store small items.

The hallway is a beautiful combination of lilac and butter-yellow. The wooden floors give the space character, and there is plenty of storage with wall hooks, a bench, and IKEA Ivar cabinets.

The butter yellow door leads to the bedroom’s built-in wardrobe.

The apartment is listed for sale at Skandia Mäklarna.
