The facade of this 19th-century building in Gothenburg, located on a quiet, tree-lined street, gives you a glimpse of what lies inside. This 94sqm historic family apartment lives up to expectations. High ceilings, moldings, medallions, and hardwood floors blend with contemporary Scandinavian decor that highlights the building’s architecture.

Stucco, herringbone hardwood floors, a tiled stove


The ceilings are high, lined with antique stucco moldings and adorned with the original medallions at the center. Below, the herringbone parquet flows from room to room with its timeless beauty. And in the middle of the living room, the massive, sculpted green tiled stove is almost a museum piece.

The furniture is both present and understated, reflecting the blend of eras we love. A round dark oak table, Arne Jacobsen’s Series 7 chairs, a sleek beige linen sofa, and a black leather Wassily chair, the result is cohesive.

A kitchen that opens onto the balcony


The kitchen is ergonomic and simple with its white lacquered cabinet fronts and stainless steel countertop. Its uniqueness comes from the black-and-white checkerboard floor, and here, you move from one century to the next simply by changing rooms. The double French doors open directly onto the balcony, a small green terrace where a few potted plants, a lounge chair, and a table are enough to create a true oasis of well-being.

Bedrooms with distinct atmospheres


The first bedroom is adorned with blue-gray floral wallpaper in the Arts & Crafts style. A dense, rustic print creates a charming result. The bed is dressed in natural linen, and the antique desk is made of solid oak. The second bedroom has a more urban and contemporary feel. It also features a desk under the window, though it is more modern than the one in the first bedroom.

A long, well-appointed hallway and entryway


The hallway is worth a closer look. Long and painted white, with a white-painted floor, it features metal wall shelves, a few framed mirrors, and a black designer chair... In the background, you can see botanical wallpaper that stands out against all the white. The entryway is also well-designed, with everything you need to get organized as soon as you enter (or leave) the apartment.
