Yellow Color Accents in a 1940s Stockholm Studio Apartment
In a 1940s apartment building in Stockholm’s Södermalm area, this studio apartment pairs original 40s elements with an efficient layout and a wonderful color palette, including warm yellow details.
Original details such as large windows, stone windowsills, and wooden floorboards give this 34-square-meter apartment historic character. It is paired with smart storage solutions and a lovely color palette, including light blue walls and yellow textiles.
The main room is a charming space with light blue walls and wooden floorboards. The large windows flood the space with natural light, and the yellow textiles enhance the sunny atmosphere.
The room features an IKEA Söderhamn sofa fitted with a Bemz cover featuring a ruffled valance.
This apartment shows what a cheerful atmosphere you can create with the right textiles. Sunny yellow sheer curtains hang in front of the large window, while a brown sheer curtain separates the sleeping and the sitting areas.
The sleeping area is calm and sunny, with lovely views from the bed of the surrounding trees. The midcentury nightstand features the pink HAY Apex table lamp.
These 1940s apartments always have large windows, creating bright interior spaces. The stone windowsill can serve as extra storage or a display surface.
The IKEA Ivar cabinets are becoming a classic. These storage cabinets can be left untreated, adding a natural element to your space, or you can paint them, adding a bright color pop, or you can paint them the same color as the walls to make them blend in.
The main room gives access to a small hall area that is lined with wardrobes on one side and also gives access to the apartment’s bathroom.
This studio has a separate kitchen, and it’s also pretty spacious for such a small apartment.
The kitchen is designed in a timeless style with gray cabinets paired with a wooden countertop and mosaic backsplash tiles. The floor features a classic red-and-white pattern.
A blue-painted wooden bench is set against the wall, paired with a wooden folding table and lilac chairs, creating a lovely dining area.
A small niche houses the combined fridge and freezer and also serves as a pantry and storage space. It can be hidden it from view with a curtain (surprisingly not a bright, colorful one, though that would look very nice).
The bathroom is simple, but the butter-yellow color accents and the floral shower curtain add a cheerful note to the space.
The hall is also painted in a soft beige-yellow shade and features a small niche with a hat rack for coat and shoe storage.
The apartment is listed for sale at Bjurfors.
