Warm Pink Walls and a Glass Room Divider in a Small Stockholm Apartment
On the fifth floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in Stockholm, you will find this charming small apartment with warm pink and aubergine walls and a glass room divider between the kitchen and the bedroom.
When you step into the 35 square meter apartment, you are greeted by beautiful, original, south-facing windows in deep niches. The apartment’s high location means you can see much of the sky when looking out of the windows, and together with the high ceilings, it makes the small home feel bigger.

The living room is a very beautiful room with a ceiling rose, stucco, chest panels, and the original windows. The entire apartment features wooden floorboards, adding a warm, natural glow to the interior spaces.


The walls are painted in a warm, powder pink tone called Masquerade by Little Greene. It adds warmth to the space and makes the original elements like the white-painted chest panels and moldings stand out beautifully.

A charming dining corner has been created using a round black table with an antique bench, two chunky 70s Rainer Daumiller chairs, and a Mantis BS2 wall lamp.




A beautiful 70s Etcetera lounge chair designed by Jan Ekselius stands by the original windows.





Thanks to the southern position, the balcony has sunlight all day long.





The kitchen can be accessed via the hall and the living room. It has recently been remodeled, creating a separate sleeping area divided by a custom-made wrought iron wall.

The kitchen is designed using classic gray cabinet doors paired with brass handles, a Calacatta Viola countertop, and a brass faucet.

A beautiful midcentury wall lamp lights the countertop. You can buy similar lamps at Walmart, Lulu and Georgia, or Etsy.


A half wall with an inner window turned one larger room into two separate areas with a cozy nook for a double bed, without losing natural light in the kitchen zone.

The cozy bedroom area is just big enough for a double bed and features warm beige walls. The deep window niche of the large, original window can be used as a bedside table.



The hall doors leading to the living room and the kitchen have been removed, creating a feeling of more space.

The hall is painted in a warm aubergine shade and features a nice hanging niche with a hat rack, hooks, and space for a shoe rack.


On either side of the front door are also built-in wardrobes, offering a lot of storage space.
