Wallpaper and Historic Charm in a Swedish Apartment

The real estate agent describes this Swedish apartment as ‘a timeless oasis where the charm of history meets the comfort of today.’ And I can see why she would describe it that way. Every room in this house features original elements, but the rooms are also light, spacious, and decorated with modern design.

The owners of this 90-square-meter apartment decorated the home in muted tones of gray and green, creating a comfortable atmosphere in all rooms. The living room and kitchen are decorated with floral wallpaper which pairs so well in combination with the ceiling rosettes and molding.

The original wooden floors, ceiling ornaments, and big windows in the living room are all beautiful. But the real star of the room is the original green and ornate fireplace in the corner, what a stunner.

The apartment has three bedrooms that are all painted in light gray tones and feature wooden floorboards and original ornaments on the ceiling. The hallway is fitted with built-in wardrobes, so there is no need for wardrobes and drawers in the bedrooms, keeping them spacious and relaxing spaces.

A very subtle color accent in the second bedroom thanks to the pastel pink bedding and green nightstand/pouf.
