A Warm Color Palette in a Cozy 1920s Apartment in Stockholm

On the first floor of a 1920s building in Stockholm lies this beautiful two-bedroom apartment with original elements and a warm color scheme. The 84 square meter apartment perfectly pairs elegance, coziness, modern functionality, and period features, creating a warm and inviting home.

1920s elements like high baseboards, original parquet flooring, stucco, and windows give the home character, while the color palette of terracotta, pink, and blue shades adds warmth and a calming atmosphere.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, with a large wooden dining table in the center that becomes the social hub of the apartment.

The kitchen design pairs classic gray cabinets with a marble countertop and backsplash, and wooden shelves above the worktop and on the other side of the room for glassware and porcelain.

High cabinets along one wall hide the appliances and add more storage space.

Double glass doors between the living room and the kitchen create an open, social layout while still being able to create private rooms.

The blue-gray painted walls make the original elements, like the high baseboards, stucco, and deep window niches, stand out beautifully.

The smaller bedroom is now a charming children’s room with a cheerful lemon wallpaper by William Morris and a tiny built-in desk with a red stool.

The apartment has two bathrooms. The largest one features fresh white tiles and a combined tub and shower.

Judging from the layout, I presume the apartment is the result of merging two smaller ones. There is a second hall next to the living room with another bathroom and a utility room.
