Original decor and an open floor plan, that’s the winning combination for this 54sqm apartment
This 54sqm apartment in Stockholm, with its large terrace and original decor, perfectly embodies Scandinavian style
54sqm for an apartment, on paper, it doesn’t sound very exciting. And yet, this one, located in a charming neighborhood in Stockholm, offers a lesson in unique yet understated decor that’s truly inspiring. With its high ceilings, the apartment already has everything to charm you before you even lay eyes on the decor. You walk in, and you don’t feel the actual square footage. You feel the volume.
Scandinavians have long understood that decorating a space is first and foremost about working with light. Here, the windows are well-oriented, deep hues dominate, and no furniture blocks the visual flow between areas. As a result, the apartment which also opens onto a spacious terrace, seems much larger than what the floor plan indicates.
Its kitchen, set against a single wall, is both practical and rather unobtrusive. The living room remains a living room, even though meals can be prepared there. Here, the transition is seamless without being nonexistent. The kitchen holds its own, the living room retains its identity, and the two interact without one overpowering the other. It’s a matter of proportions, materials chosen with consistency, and a layout designed for real life.
Behind its fluted glass partition, the bedroom is not only bright but also well-insulated from the main room. Its bold color scheme makes it a truly cozy cocoon.
Accessible via a staircase in the entryway, this apartment features a room with a low ceiling. It’s the perfect spot for hosting overnight guests, retreating to read, or taking a nap.
Directly connected to the living room, it extends the living space outdoors with a sense of continuity rarely found in apartments. In Sweden, they call it "radhuskänsla", that feeling of living in a townhouse even though you’re in an apartment building. In practical terms, this means that with a few plants, a seating area, and a nice table, the terrace becomes a true living space for three out of four seasons (and sometimes even in winter, protected by a blanket and accompanied by a good cup of coffee, hygge-style).
