Midcentury Design and Colorful Decor in a Charming Studio Apartment

This spacious studio apartment in the Midsommarkransen area in Stockholm is a dream for everyone who likes small-space inspiration and is a lover of midcentury design. The 31 square meter apartment is located in a “funkist” building from the 1930s and features original charm with modern elements, creating a comfortable vintage-style home.

Despite the modest floor size, the home feels comfortable and spacious thanks to the large windows and a perfect layout with a semi-separate kitchen space. The apartment features the original wooden floorboards paired with gray and beige tones on the walls, creating a calm and warm base for the midcentury and colorful decor.

The apartment is divided into two main spaces with a wide opening, offering a spacious feeling and letting light flow throughout the apartment from large windows in both areas.

The combined sitting room and bedroom is big enough for a large sofa and a double bed in the corner. The bed has storage underneath, and art, mid-century design, and books add a much-loved and lived-in atmosphere.

The owners opted for a calm base with gray walls and the wooden floor but in the decor and furniture they opted for bright color pops like the ochre-yellow sofa and the colorful cushions.

A smart corner shelf ensures both sides of the bed have bedside storage, even though one side is fitted against the wall.

The apartment features original built-in wardrobes, so there is no need to bulk up the main space with large wardrobes. And living in a small space means you have to be practical, so the area above the wide doorway to the kitchen has been fitted with bookshelves.

The kitchen has undergone a renovation this year while still maintaining that mid-century look. The kitchen doors have been repainted in an off-white shade, and new appliances have been added.

A beautiful Scandinavian Formica dining table sits between the living space and the kitchen.

Wooden shelves instead of cabinets creates a moder cozy vibe and an open feeling while still adding plenty of storage to the small kitchen area.

The warm beige tone on the walls suits the mid-century ambiance very well.

A yellow Hairpot pendant by Dyberg Larsen adds a cheerful color pop to the kitchen space.

The bathroom is tiny but functional with fresh white tiles on the walls, a shower niche, and wooden shelves above the toilet for extra storage.

The apartment is listed at Fastighetsbyran.
