Warm Walls and Original Elements in a Swedish Studio Apartment
This charming studio apartment is located on a quiet street in Stockholm with greenery surrounding the colorful 1920s and 1930s buildings. Carefully renovated over the past four years, the apartment has been turned into a small, warm haven in the city.
The 33-square-meter apartment is located in one of the 1920s buildings and features original details like high ceilings, parquet flooring, windows, mirrored doors, kitchen cabinets, and moldings.
The studio apartment has a warm atmosphere thanks to the parquet floor laid in a herringbone pattern and the warm tone on the walls. A large, original barred window with deep window sill provides plenty of natural light.
The walls of the room are freshly painted in Jotun’s grayish yellow color “Soft Radiance”, and the floor is covered with original herringbone parquet that runs without a threshold through the wide opening to the hall.
The room is now sparsely furnished, but it can easily accommodate a cozy sitting area, a double bed, a desk, and bookcases. There is a small, original built-in wardrobe in the main room.
The wide, open doorway between the main room and the hall adds a sense of space.
The kitchen offers plenty of storage space and there is a charming nook by the large window for a small breakfast table.
The original cabinets are made of solid heartwood and were built on site. The display cabinet with its beautiful glass is a fine element. A couple of years ago, the cabinets were painted in Jotun’s golden white paint “Silke” and the walls in a chalky white color.
From the hall, a fantastic mirrored door with barred window glass leads into the apartment’s kitchen.
The spacious hall features a free-standing wardrobe solution with hanger rods and drawers behind white linen drapes.
A smart, original hat shelf hangs right by the front door. The walls are papered in a cool gray-blue pattern.
