White-Painted Floorboards in a Turn-of-the-Century Apartment

On the top floor of a Swedish apartment building, you find this charming turn-of-the-century apartment with white-painted floorboards and original details. The 60-square-meter apartment was carefully renovated, adding a new kitchen and preserving original features like stucco, high moldings, and ceiling rosettes.

The entire apartment has been decorated in a light color scheme. Throughout the home, the wooden floorboards have been painted white, enhancing the bright atmosphere and creating airy interior spaces.

The kitchen is renovated but suits the historic building perfectly. The classic cabinets are painted in a muted green shade paired with a gray stone worktop. The muted tones of the cabinets harmonize perfectly with the beige walls and white floorboards.
