Verkstadsgatan is one of the most pleasant streets in Södermalm, a lively neighborhood in southern Stockholm. In the summer, the outdoor cafes are packed with people and the atmosphere is cheerful. This 39sqm studio is located in an old building distinguished by its large arched entranceway.
Its small-paned windows still feature their original blown glass. Abundant southern light floods in, illuminating this colorful and unique interior.
The open-concept layout is classic, featuring a large living area that combines the living room and kitchen. This design makes daily life easier. In this room, which is quite spacious for a small apartment, you’ll find a sofa, a dining area, and a large bed. A full wall of built-in storage plays a key role in the room’s sense of calm, keeping everything out of sight.
The closet doors open to reveal a unique interior painted bright blue. Above, large cabinets take advantage of the high ceiling to maximize storage space. A separate wardrobe completes this very useful closet. The bed, dressed in patterned linens, sits right next to it, against the yellow wall. It’s nestled within the storage unit, which forms a sort of alcove. It’s separated from the living area by a red shelf. On the living room wall, you’ll notice the famous IKEA donut lamp.
The kitchen, in a soft apricot hue, features a generous solid wood countertop. Its white tile extends all the way to the ceiling. The cabinet doors, by Superfront, open with small sky-blue knobs that contrast beautifully with the apricot-colored cabinet fronts.
Raw wood shelves serve as upper cabinets, lending the space a sense of lightness. The hardwood floor, sanded and then whitewashed, reflects the light from the window. The walls are painted a soft yellow, a Jotun shade called Soft Radiance. With its open layout into the living room, it creates a true living space where cooking becomes a shared experience.
The bathroom underwent a meticulous renovation designed by an architect. Italian tiles cover the walls, and stoneware from the Höganäs factory covers the floor. The countertop that holds the sink is made of oak and was custom-built to fit the room’s unique angles. Storage shelves are hidden behind a hand-sewn curtain with a rustic style.
The shower stall, equipped with a fixed showerhead and a flexible hose, is enclosed by a simple glass partition. A south-facing window lets in natural light and allows for easy ventilation.
The entryway is quite spacious for a 39sqm studio. The brick-red walls and the ceiling in a softer shade of pink create a sort of buffer zone, a warm transition before entering the studio. A wall-mounted rack provides a place to hang clothes, and a stool is provided for putting on shoes. From the moment you step through the threshold, this entryway signals that the apartment is anything but ordinary.
The skillful use of color is evident in every room. The blend of original features and contemporary touches works particularly well. Everything harmonizes, furniture and colors in a successful balance, which speaks to a real talent for interior design.
The renovated bathroom stands in stark contrast to the style of this 39sqm studio. The custom work in this unconventional space, combined with a curtain instead of a traditional cabinet door, makes the most of this uniquely shaped area. It’s a studio with a strong identity, where each zone is clearly defined, and where personality shines through in every room. It is a precious testament to the past that has successfully reinvented itself through contemporary décor.
When you see this studio, the image of our attic maids’ rooms, restored and well-appointed, immediately comes to mind. These precious spaces, long abandoned in classic buildings in Paris and other major cities, have been the subject of successful transformations for years. Of course, they rarely have this much floor space, unless you combine several of them. But this 39sqm studio will inspire those who want a space that, while small, has plenty of personality.
Moreover, the color scheme and the blend of vintage and contemporary elements offer a lesson for any apartment owner, regardless of the unit’s size. This home exudes a sense of both history and modernity, a blend that makes it warm and unique.
The neighborhood has a dual rhythm. The streets around Verkstadsgatan retain a quiet, almost village-like atmosphere. Here, the water is never far away. Bridges lead to Reimersholme and Långholmen, two islands beloved for their beaches and green spaces, perfect for a nature retreat after a day in the city.

A country-style renovated bathroom
