Country Style Apartment in Stockholm

This 55 sq. m apartment seems to have accidentally ended up in northern Stockholm. So much light and pastel tones, as if sunbaked, it feels like opening the door and seeing endless lavender fields. In reality, this French oasis is a country-style apartment on the top floor of a four-story building in Stockholm's suburbs.

The kitchen and living room are combined. The kitchen is decorated in the style of a French bistro, which is original and convenient for small spaces. Natural materials and muted tones dominate the interior. The gray kitchen cabinet blends well with the oak worktop. The walls are tiled in white, creating unity between the walls and ceiling, typical of French country style. The refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher are built-in.

The dining table sits by the window. It's pleasant to watch tree tops and sky from the fourth-floor height. Another detail that complements the surrounding interior is an open shelf made of aged natural wood. Vases with flowers throughout the kitchen add vibrant colors to the interior.

Despite the combined kitchen and living room, the space is clearly divided by a different wall color in the living room — a warm rye tone. There is also a sofa, and an abundance of different textiles around, beige, powder pink, and soft pink, which maintain the lightness and airiness of the interior.

The apartment has two bedrooms. In the larger room, the central focus is a double bed and an airy alcove with sheer drapes above the bed. Also in the bedroom, behind pink doors that match the walls, is a spacious walk-in closet. The room features plenty of textile from cotton, linen, and muslin. Specifically aged doors and handmade wall sconces beautifully complement the Provence-style setting.

Flowers receive great attention in this apartment, especially in this room. They bring freshness and balance out the many pink tones.

The smaller bedroom is now used as a children's room. An abundance of handmade decor elements, an antique toy chest in sky blue, floral patterns, and flower-decorated window sills open the door to a child's world.

Part of the bathroom wall is tiled, and another part is painted in a warm beige tone. The floor is also tiled in a checkerboard pattern. This textural harmony creates a unified space around. Lighting here is thoughtfully planned to dim the bathroom, creating an element of mystery. Despite the small space, designers made sure there is enough room for everything: built-in wardrobes, a washing machine, and even a retractable clothes dryer hidden in the bathroom.

Accents in the hallway include Moroccan green tile flooring and unusual handmade door curtains that conceal a mini walk-in closet.
