A Vibrant, Colorful Midcentury Apartment in Malmö

Are you ready for some colorful interior inspiration? Today, I want to share this amazing apartment in Malmö with you which is decorated with plenty of color, midcentury furniture, and bold textiles.

The 55-square-meter apartment features original elements like the herringbone parquet floor, built-in storage, and large windows. The kitchen was recently renovated, creating an open floor plan with the living room, but the kitchen style fits the midcentury aesthetic beautifully.

It’s nice to see a bit of color in the winter months. The living room is painted in a lovely pink hue that feels slightly earthy. It’s not a very big space, but I like that the owner didn’t stick the furniture to the walls. There is a nice flow to the living space toward the bedroom and the ‘half room’ beyond.

The living space has an open floor plan with a nice herringbone parquet floor in the sitting area, and the kitchen is separated by a half-open island and a round dining table.

The two big windows make it a very bright room so it can handle a bit of color.

The kitchen is a blend of old and new. Old cabinets are painted in a lovely green hue and run all the way to the ceiling to maximize storage space. The lower cabinets are made of a constrasting stainless steel.

Off the living room is a half-open space that can be used as an office or even a second bedroom. The current owner uses this space as a walk-in closet.

The living room gives access to the apartment’s only bedroom. The room may be small, but that didn’t stop the owner from using lots of color. The walls are painted in a lovely purple shade (similar to one of the colors of the year for 2025).

A floral wallpaper has been added to one of the walls and runs up to the ceiling.

The bathroom is original to the house and features turquoise tiles on the bath and a classic black and white floor.

The hallway sets the tone for the rest of the apartment. The room is color-drenched in a sunny yellow shade which is paired with a limestone floor that seamlessly flows into the classic herringbone parquet floor you can see in the rest of the apartment.

The apartment is listed for sale at BERNIN Fastighetsförmedling.
