Contrasting Colors in a Turn-of-the-Century Apartment in Stockholm

This tastefully renovated apartment lies in a charming corner position in a turn-of-the-century apartment complex in Stockholm. The two-bedroom apartment is decorated in a contrasting color scheme, from beige tones to black.

The apartment offers a harmonious floor plan with a generous ceiling height and nice light flowing in from large windows in two directions. Well-preserved details such as mirrored niches, beautiful wooden floors, a tiled stove, solid woodwork, and barred windows enhance the classic and historic feel.

In the kitchen, the owners opted for contrast. Two walls are painted in the same beige shade as the living room, while the other two and the kitchen cabinets are painted black.

The sleek, modern black cabinets are paired with a stone worktop. The large window above the sink creates a light atmosphere despite the dark colors used in the room.

There is enough room in the kitchen for a second dining table and built-in shelves offer even more storage space.

The apartment has two bedrooms. The smallest room is used as the master bedroom, featuring beige walls and a mint green-painted ceiling.

The largest bedroom lies next to the living room and is now used as a shared children’s bedroom. This room is located in the corner of the apartment, so it has windows on two sides, making it a very bright space.

I like the contrast in this apartment. Most rooms are painted in beige shades, but it also has a black kitchen, and the hallway is painted deep blue.

The hallway is designed in two parts. The entry closest to the front door has a classic red and white checkerboard floor, while the rest is carpeted. I also like that the front door is also painted dark blue.
