This apartment (Styled by Grey Deco for Stadshem) carries the quiet confidence of a historic home thoughtfully reimagined without losing any of its original character. Curved windows, exposed brick, and floral wallpaper sit alongside considered contemporary choices, creating a home that feels layered and genuinely lived in.
Curved Windows and Classic Cabinets Define This Earthy Kitchen
The curved windows are the first thing that registers in this kitchen, their sculptural arc drawing light across the white shaker cabinets below. A partially exposed brick wall adds an earthy, tactile quality that keeps the space from reading as too polished. The combination feels considered rather than contrived, balancing the apartment’s historic bones with a calm, classic palette.
White tiling runs all the way to the ceiling here, giving the kitchen a finished, high-quality feel that holds its own against the original architectural details. The white stone countertop continues that clean sensibility at the surface level.
Upper glass cabinets introduce a subtle shift in the cabinetry, offering a chance to display the prettiest glassware in a way that feels curated rather than cluttered.
On the windowsill of the curved window, a plant and a pair of candle holders are arranged with an easy, natural confidence. The greenery softens the architecture while the candleholders add a sculptural note.
Positioned between two doorways, an antique kitchen storage cabinet stands out warmly against the light grey wall behind it. The piece brings a sense of history and patina that feels entirely at home in this apartment.
Tucked beside the doorway leading to the bedroom, a small round dining table sits with a pair of oak wood chairs in a welcoming arrangement. The natural warmth of the oak reads well against the light grey walls.
Dark Floral Wallpaper Transforms the Bedroom into a Focal Point
Dark blue floral wallpaper covers every wall of this small bedroom, making it an eye-catching focal point visible straight from the kitchen. The depth of the pattern gives the room an intimate, cozy quality that belies its modest size.
Because the wallpaper carries so much visual weight, the textiles and accessories are kept in a quiet, considered palette of natural tones. Linen textures and soft neutrals let the pattern breathe.
Original architectural details take on a new presence against the dark wallpaper, and the round windows in particular feel even more impressive framed by all that pattern.
Green Floral Wallpaper Carries the Story into the Hallway
The floral wallpaper continues into the hallway, this time in green tones that feel earthy and welcoming as you move through the apartment. The shift in color gives the pattern a fresh reading while maintaining a coherent thread across the rooms.
Warm Wood and Cool Walls Find Easy Balance in the Living Room
Blue-grey walls set a cool, calm tone in the living room, while warm wood accents and a beige art print pull the temperature back toward inviting. A grey sofa is layered with neutral textiles, adding a soft, tactile quality to the seating area.
Wall shelving painted in the same blue-grey as the walls recedes into the background, letting the carefully selected books and accessories come forward on their own terms. The effect is subtle but deliberate, drawing the eye to the objects rather than the structure holding them.
