A Light Corner Apartment with Yellow Color Accents

On a high location with views of the water and the large park in Stockholm stands a 1940s apartment building housing this light-filled apartment. The corner apartment was thoughtfully renovated, preserving original 1940s elements and creating a comfortable contemporary home.

The apartment is decorated in a harmonious color palette paired with fine original details such as herringbone parquet, marble floors, built-in wardrobes/cabinets, windows, and marble window sills.
