This 55sqm vintage apartment makes the most of its space

This 55sqm vintage apartment combines hardwood floors, checkerboard tiles, and two cleverly designed bedrooms thanks to its high ceilings. On paper, it doesn’t seem very big, but in reality, the clever use of space makes all the difference. Here, nothing feels cramped, even though the sleeping area is limited. The trade-off lies in the living spaces, which are quite spacious for such a small footprint. A large kitchen-dining area, a comfortable living room, an unconventional way of living, yet one that’s certainly intriguing. A closer look at this “one-of-a-kind” apartment in Stockholm.
The living room and dining room are adjacent and open to one another, with the dining room opening directly onto the kitchen. Traffic flows naturally. The windows are tall, set in deep recesses, a detail typical of older Scandinavian buildings. This one dates back to the early 20th century. The warm hardwood floors are original and add incredible charm to the space. This was one of the guiding principles behind the apartment’s renovation: preserving what has value.
In the kitchen, the floor tiles are laid in a cream-and-terracotta checkerboard pattern, vintage and full of personality. The cabinet fronts are painted light gray, as are the walls. Open shelves display the dishes, glasses, and a few carefully selected objects. It’s a decorative choice as much as a practical one: showing off what you love. The pine paneling, also painted gray, runs above the countertop. This room has an almost bucolic feel, you can easily imagine it in a country house.
From the living room at the back of the apartment, a staircase leads up to the sleeping area. The mezzanine isn’t a traditional bedroom, but a small retreat containing just what’s needed. Two small interior windows open onto the dining room, allowing light to filter through. Beneath it, on the dining room side, there’s another sleeping area, a clever solution. The apartment’s 55 square meters are utilized to perfection.
Light gray is everywhere, on the walls, the furniture, the paneling, and in the hallway. This Nordic gray highlights the materials and antique elements. The light wood of the parquet floor, the terracotta of the tiles, the old molded doors in the entryway, everything stands out better against this neutral backdrop.

The kitchen, the centerpiece

Gray as the unifying theme
