A Charming Studio Apartment with Leafy Courtyard Views

On a high location in an early 20th-century apartment building in Stockholm, you can find this charming studio apartment with beige-pink walls and a balcony overlooking the leafy green courtyard.

This 18 square meter apartment perfectly shows how to decorate a tiny space. The original features like the high ceiling, tiled fireplace, and wooden floorboards give the space natural charm, and the large doors leading to the leafy courtyard balcony add a peaceful feeling to the space.

Storage is everything in a small home, and this studio apartment is lucky to have an original built-in wardrobe, so there is no need to bulk up the main room with large storage furniture.

The space is definitely small, but there is room for a double bed, a dining table, and a charming seating area by the balcony doors. In the spring and summer, the living space extends to the south-facing balcony.

The walls are painted in a charming beige-pink hue, making the original baseboards stand out beautifully, and adding a nice calm tone to the room.

When you enter the apartment, you stand straight in the kitchen. It was recently renovated, pairing stainless steel cabinets with brass fittings and classic white subway tiles.

Stainless steel shelves add the necessary storage in the tiny kitchen.

The original wooden beams show a bit of the history of the building while also creating a nice contrast with the industrial-style kitchen.

If the interior hasn’t won you over, then this south-facing balcony surely does. What I love so much about Swedish apartment buildings are their green courtyards. You may be living in the center of a big city, but when you step through the gates, a green oasis evokes a sense of calm.

You’re surrounded by nature while also living in the city. It’s the best of two worlds, isn’t it? The large trees also add a nice sense of privacy.

The apartment is listed for sale at Svensk Fastighetsförmedling.
