A 56sqm Haussmann-style two-room apartment blending 19th-century moldings with Scandinavian decor
This 56sqm Haussmann-style two-room apartment is decorated in a Scandinavian style and features a Gothic skylight and a flower-filled balcony
In Gothenburg’s Vasastaden neighborhood, this 56sqm Haussmann-style two-room apartment is located in an ochre-brick building dating back to 1892. This classic building features original details that give it its charm, including moldings, rosettes, cast-iron radiators, and a Gothic glass partition that serves as the standout feature of the interior.
In the living room, you’ll find the Scandinavian decor you’d expect. Vintage elements are paired with simple, timeless furniture. The String bookshelf and Thonet chairs are just a few examples of pieces that stand the test of time without going out of style. The wall above the sofa is a veritable art gallery. It features a dozen frames of various sizes, graphic posters and linocuts, abstract compositions, and a line drawing portrait. The coffee table is vintage, from the 1960s, with black ceramic tiles set in a teak frame. This room opens onto the pleasant balcony and courtyard.
The kitchen features classic gray Shaker-style cabinet fronts. It’s a design that ages well (since you don’t renovate your kitchen every other day!). The countertop is made of veined white marble, another classic and durable choice. The backsplash, made of subway tiles, runs the full height of the wall. There’s also a very pleasant dining area for quick meals.
The real surprise of the apartment is found in the hallway: an interior glass partition with slightly Gothic arches that separates it from the bedroom. This allows light to enter the room from both sides, and what a charming touch! The bedroom’s decor is minimalist. White linen bedding, velvet cushions in ochre and honey tones. Light sheers let in light from the courtyard. Nothing more is needed.
In summer, the balcony becomes an outdoor living room. Comfortably furnished and adorned with hanging geranium planters, it lets you enjoy the outdoors in the quiet of the courtyard.

The balcony as a fifth room
