A 1940s Swedish Apartment with a Soft Yellow Kitchen

On the top floor of a 1940s apartment building in Stockholm lies this charming one-bedroom apartment with a light yellow kitchen. The original layout of the 1940s has been preserved and the renovated kitchen is also in an original style.

The entire home was renovated in recent years. An oak parquet floor is combined with freshly painted walls and ceilings. Thanks to the high position, you have a wonderful view of the surroundings through the windows and on the balcony.
