Anyone in need of a little calm this Monday? This elegant apartment in Södermalm, Stockholm is blessed with 3.30 metre high ceilings and beautiful period features. Plus, if you’re looking to make an extra bedroom out of your living space or work wonders with paint, this is the inspiration for you! Let’s take a look at what’s at play in this 75 metres square (807 ftsq) apartment.
In an open-plan space, it makes sense to place the table in the natural light of the window and the sofa in a cosier spot with less light. I love how the living room is full of contrasting textures too – something you’ll see throughout the apartment.
A subtle hint of colour in the children’s bedroom does wonders to the overall look and feel of the space.
I’m guessing the kitchen previously occupied the entire space just off the living room and now carved into two – a children’s bedroom and a small space to cook. Once again, contrasts are at play – with the use of both industrial stainless steel and painted wood cabinets.
Old wood windows allow the flow of light into the kitchen.
Paint is a budget-friendly way to breathe new life into a space. In the hallway, the owners have painted a geometric pattern on the hall floor and also added a fun modern twist to the doors and cabinets by painting the lower section green. I love this!
The owners have adopted the same industrial feel in the bathroom for a cohesive look.
The children’s bedroom may be small, but it’s certainly pretty, cosy and well organised! The use of white helps the storage to melt in while splashed of colour draw the eye in.
Sometimes, it can be hard to figure out a layout from the pictures, so here’s some more info courtesy of Historiska Hem:
Glossary: sovrum – bedroom, kök – kitchen, vardagsrum – sitting room, badrum – bathroom.
Absolutely lovely space – it’s a total breath of fresh air and I really like the mix of materials.
Is there anything that stood out to you?
The room shuffle reminds me a little of the home I featured recently in Copenhagen here.
Have a fabulous start to the week friends!
