A Swedish Attic Apartment with Exposed Brick and Yellow Color Accents

Today, I want to share such a lovely home with you. The maisonette apartment is located on the top two floors of a 1920s apartment complex in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. The home features cozy spaces with exposed brick walls and warm yellow color accents.

The 65 square meter apartment is divided over two floors. On the lower floor, you can find the kitchen and dining room. And the top floor, with its slanted ceilings, is converted into an open-plan sitting room and bedroom. It’s a unique idea to combine the living room and bedroom is such a way, but the result is charming and inviting.

As mentioned, the lower floor has a kitchen and a dining room. This room can easily be a living room with room for a sitting area and a television, as the kitchen is big enough for a dining table.

The light wooden floorboards, gray walls, and white wood panels create a calm and neutral base for the room. It is paired with beautiful midcentury furniture pieces, and a warm yellow color pop in the curtains.

One wall, from the lower floor all the way to the attic floor, has been left raw in the apartment. It adds a lovely rustic, industrial touch to the interior spaces, and it pairs well with the wooden floorboards and gray walls.

The kitchen pairs original features from the early 20th century with contemporary design. The room was renovated in 2022, adding a new kitchen from Ballingslöv with gray-green lower cabinets and light brown oak upper cabinets. The bright space can easily accommodate a dining table, so you can use the dining room as a living room.

I love the combination of open and fluted glass upper cabinets. It allows you to display your favorite glasswork and earthware. You create plenty of storage space without adding bulky upper cabinets, making the room feel smaller.

The gray and oak cabinets are paired with black Quartzite stone countertop.

On the left, you can see an original serving cabinet from the 1920s. The old period features and the new kitchen design work perfectly together.

The top floor is turned into a charming and light combined living room and bedroom with large skylights, exposed wooden beams, and the same brick wall as we saw in the dining room.

The color scheme in this room is the same as the rest of the apartment. Gray walls are paired with a light wooden floor and ochre yellow textiles.

In the back, they created a cozy bedroom space with a double bed and a large comfy rug.

The owners partially closed off the bedroom space with a curtain, so the bed isn’t very visible from the sofa and it creates a cozy sleeping nook.

The maisonette apartment has a charming hall with wooden floorboards and brown walls. The room has a built-in wardrobe for shoe and coat storage and a white dresser, adding even more storage space.
