This stunning apartment in a turn-of-the-century building in Sweden has the most beautiful historic features, which are perfectly integrated into the interior design of the place. The walls of the kitchen and living room have been painted in a light gray paint color, while the bedrooms have a green or beige coat of paint.
Apart from the colorful accents in the blue velvet sofas in the living room, the interior has been decorated mostly with a neutral color palette, highlighting the beautiful crown molding, wall paneling, and floorboards of this historic building.
A gray shaker kitchen with green-gray countertops and brass hardware
The beautiful gray kitchen with its green-gray backsplash and marble countertops fits perfectly in the space. The kitchen walls have been painted in the same gray wall color as the kitchen cabinets, which makes it look very integrated into the interior.
The brass accents in the hardware on the kitchen cabinetry add a lovely focal point and the white crown molding in the kitchen is not original. You can see that it follows the layout of the upper cabinets, which means it must have been applied together with the kitchen remodel.
The interior designer planned the upper kitchen cabinets only at the walls furthest away from the windows for a light and airy effect. The cabinets next to the built-in hood have glass fronts, for a typical classy shaker look.
A round dining table adds warmth in front of the gray walls
The light wood tones of the round dining table and dining chairs stand out so nicely against the backdrop of the light gray walls and the white-soaped hardwood floors.
The window frames and floorboards have been painted in a darker gray color and the XL round mirror on the wall reflects the natural light coming in through those windows in the dining room area.
Light gray walls combined with a darker gray paint on the doors in the living room
The wall paneling in the living room has been painted in the same color as the light gray walls, yet the ornate door frames are painted in a darker gray to make them stand out. Just like in the other rooms, the crown molding is painted white to match the color of the ceiling.
The classic look of the historic details in this interior is matched by two classic sofas in blue velvet on each side of the room. The light grey fluffy area rug fills the space with a beautiful texture and the crystal chandelier adds the finishing touch to this room.
A bedroom with muted green walls and a built-in wardrobe above the bed
The muted green bedroom walls can be seen from the living room and the beautiful custom-built wardrobe around the bed has been painted in the same color as the wall for an integrated effect and a tone-on-tone look. The wardrobe has not been built all the way up to the ceiling, so you can still observe the white moldings above it.
The niche space in between the custom wardrobes is perfect for the bed and the two brass accent reading lamps above the pillows finish this setup off nicely. The mixture of light and dark gray throw pillows on the bed and the area rug on the floor add a lot of texture to the clean lines of the wardrobe.
On the other side of the room, you can find a small home office spot, which consists of a vintage desk that has been painted and a light grey paint color that complements the wall color nicely. Just like in the kitchen, the round mirror is a beautiful addition to this corner and it ensures more light can spread throughout the room.
A small kids’ room inside of a walk-in-closet
The small walk-in closet next to the bedroom has been transformed into a small kids’ room. By creating custom storage space for the clothes around the bed, this small space could be transformed and made into an extra room The beige feature wall of this tiny space can be observed from the bedroom and living room and really stands out.
A spacious kids’ room with a canopy
From the kitchen, you can access the second bedroom, which has also been transformed into a kids’ room. The gray walls in this room are complemented by a green fabric canopy above the bed and just like in the other rooms, the floorboards and door frames are made to stand out with a darker gray color and the light gray walls form the perfect backdrop for the soft furnishings and accessories in this space.
