Hej vänner! Ready for a new week? Looking at the picture above, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this is a classic Swedish summer cottage in the depths of the countryside. But, after featuring not one but two country homes last week – I promised you something different. And this beauty is in the heart of Södermalm in Stockholm! 

Cosy and blessed with the high ceilings we have become so accustomed to with these Swedish homes, the apartment has the best of both worlds – access to the city, with a little outdoor oasis. 

Stockholm is known for being compact and property is hard to come by without paying a premium. As result, you’ll often find studio apartments. This 49 square metre (527 square foot) living space, however, is blessed with a separate sitting room, kitchen and bedroom – albeit a snug one! Potentially owned by an artist, it also has a little sunroom for painting and drinking coffee in the autumn sunshine. 

Ready to discover more? 

For a quick update that says ‘now’ mix and match patterns including stripes and checks. 

There’s always a way to squeeze a table into the kitchen – no matter how small! 

I love small vintage updates in the kitchen – they add so much charm. 

Open shelving with hooks for cups and racks for wine glasses helps to create a warm, relaxing and welcoming vibe. 

It might be small, but it’s certainly cosy. I think I would sleep so well here, how about you? 

Closed porches and sunroom help to extend the season and give you a wonderful sense of being outside even if the Autumn weather gods aren’t on your side! 

The outdoor space is situated in a communal courtyard. Many Swedish apartments are arranged around an inner courtyard which is used for many things such as outdoor dining, flowers, herbs and vegetables, recycling and storing bikes. In the spring there is usually a ‘trädgårdsdag’ (garden day) where everyone who lives there gets together to prepare the courtyard for the season ahead – celebrating their hard work with a ‘fika’ (coffee and cake) or a barbecue. 

Do you have something like this in your country? 

All in all, such a lovely apartment to come home to every evening – don’t you think? Is there anything that stood out to you? 

Here are a few more beautiful city apartments to kick off the week: 

Have a great start to the week friends!
