The 33-square-meter apartment has a good layout. From the hall, you first enter the kitchen and then the combined living room and bedroom. The apartment still has beautiful turn-of-the-century character thanks to the generous ceiling height, original wooden floors with visible grooves, deep window niches, and stucco.

A Small Light Gray Apartment with Period Features https://www.thenordroom.com/a-small-light-gray-apartment-with-period-features/ Thu, 17 Jul 2025 08:00:00 +0000 https://www.thenordroom.com/?p=51455 On the top floor of a stately Art Nouveau building in Stockholm lies this charming one-bedroom apartment with period details from the turn of the century and light rooms painted in a soft gray hue.

The apartment is only 35 square meters, but with a ceiling height of more than 3 meters and views of the sky from the windows, the rooms feel more spacious than their actual floor plan. The apartment has a thoughtful layout with a spacious hall that opens into the semi open living room and kitchen, and a tiny bedroom.

light gray walls living room

The living room and kitchen are designed in a semi-open floorplan, meaning that the large windows in the sitting room and the kitchen flood both spaces with natural light.

Period features like stucco, mirror panels, and high skirting boards have been preserved and combined with a beautiful wooden floor and walls painted in Nordsjö’s color “City Life”.

A unique element to the kitchen is the custom-made cooker hood designed by the cultural sheet metal craftsman Owe Zetterström. It’s a fantastic design piece with edges for hanging frying pans and other kitchen utensils.

Gray Tones and a Classic Kitchen in a Swedish Apartment https://www.thenordroom.com/gray-tones-classic-kitchen-swedish-apartment/ Thu, 24 Apr 2025 08:19:35 +0000 https://www.thenordroom.com/?p=58215 This spacious two-bedroom apartment lies on the top floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in Gothenburg. The 90 square-meter apartment was recently renovated, adding a new, stylish kitchen and painting all rooms in various gray hues.

On one side, the apartment is wrapped around the central staircase, meaning the kitchen and the smallest bedroom have charming rounded walls. The gray tones on the walls are paired with white-pigmented wooden floorboards, and the living room and bedroom have a traditional Swedish fireplace.

An Amazing Swedish House with Pink and Gray Rooms https://www.thenordroom.com/amazing-swedish-house-pink-and-gray-rooms/ Sat, 22 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://www.thenordroom.com/?p=56153 This amazing semi-detached house from the early 20th century stands in an idyllic residential area just south of the city center of Stockholm. The entire home is painted in carefully selected pink and gray shades that pair beautifully with the wooden floorboards from the time the house was built in 1927.

The ground floor has a normal layout with a living room and a kitchen. It is the first floor that makes this home so amazing. The entire first floor is painted in gray shades, and here, the owners created a second sitting room, a master bedroom, and a home office with an industrial glass wall. The top floor houses an all-white bedroom, and the home also features a charming garden.

The living room on the ground floor is color-drenched in a soft pink shade, creating a charming atmosphere. Fully glazed doors fill the room with natural light and give access to the garden.

I love the light, calm, and inviting atmosphere in this living room. The soft pink walls pair beautifully with the original wooden floorboards, the leather chesterfield sofa invites you to sit, and the red-painted table turn this space into a social room with plenty of space for large dinner parties.

To make this room even more perfect, the walls are decorated with art. The red-painted table is the centerpiece of the room; it adds a nice bold color pop without being overwhelming.
