No Homework Here: This School Conversion Is Pure Joy | Smart is Beauty

With exam season in full swing, this Swedish home in Södermalm, Stockholm felt especially fitting — calm, creative, and full of light. And, as it turns out, it has a bit of a scholarly past.

At first glance, I was struck by the large open room and all those generous windows (always a win!). There’s something a little unexpected about the layout too — a kind of spaciousness and structure you don’t usually find in a typical home. And sure enough, it turns out this building used to be… a school.

But not the usual countryside kind where ivy-covered walls and creaky floors give way to cosy corners. No — this was a 1990s school, and it’s now been cleverly converted into an apartment block. The result? A modern, light-soaked home with a distinctly creative edge.

The living space is airy and welcoming, with internal windows helping the light travel beautifully through every corner. The décor blends old and new with ease, and there’s art everywhere — a home clearly loved by someone with an eye for detail. And the best part? Not a single maths lesson in sight.

And then there’s the kitchen. With its bright yellow tiles and industrial vibe, it’s unusual — but wonderful. It’s the kind of space where you really do look on the bright side each morning, bathed in sunshine and sipping your coffee under those golden walls.

Enjoy the tour!

Wow! I’m not sure I’ve seen a school conversion quite like this before — have you?

The interior is full of surprises and lovely details too. Like the pink bathroom!

Were you surprised by the exterior? Can you imagine coming home here each day — or would it bring back too many memories of those science exams?

I’d love to hear if anything caught your eye.

You can see the full listing and read more about this unique property here.

Fancy seeing a few more school conversions today? Check out this converted school archive (this home might come up first, if so just scroll on past). 

Have a happy mid-week!
