Original Floors and Exposed Brick in a Beautifully Renovated Stockholm Apartment | Smart is Beauty

Thank you for being so patient (and supportive!) during my long run of Scandinavian summer cottages and getaways lately. Guess what? I actually have a city apartment to share with you today—and it's fresh, warm, contemporary, and lovely all around. It even has a cosy window nook perfect for enjoying a coffee while watching the world go by!

Look around and you’ll discover a home that feels quietly curated – full of warmth, texture and soul. Light filters across original plank floors, worn smooth with time, while thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with early 20th-century charm. 

Located in Södermalm – Stockholm’s boho neighbourhood – the apartment is a peaceful hideaway with a lovely personal touch. I particularly love the dining area and also the bedroom, which glows in a soft antique yellow by Jotun. In fact, every detail – from the linseed-painted green doors to the cosy window nook – feels practical and full of feeling. Välkommen in! 

Beautiful. I could totally see myself walking through the doors to the quiet, cosy feel of this apartment every evening – how about you?

Was it the colours, the details, or something else that caught your eye? There’s plenty to discover if you take a closer look at each image.

You can see more pictures (including the bathroom!) over at Historiska Hem right now.

Would you like to see a few more city apartments today? How about:

Have a wonderful start to the week friends!
