Bright Rooms with Light Color Tones in a Swedish Apartment

On the second floor of an early 20th-century apartment building in Sweden’s second city, Gothenburg lies this charming apartment with bright rooms, light colors, and an exposed brick wall in the kitchen.

The 64-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment has charming details like contemporary moldings, exposed brick, and a working tiled fireplace in the living room. The entire home is fitted with a dark wooden floor, creating a cohesive look, and the rooms are decorated in soft, light hues.

Two large windows flood the living room with natural light. The sitting room has a pleasant light atmosphere, where the walls are painted in Jotun’s ‘Tudor’ shade, a pleasant gray-beige color that works well with the warm wooden floor.

The entry to the living room has been widened, and there are no doors between the hall and the kitchen either, so there is a sightline from the front to the back, creating a more spacious feeling.
