‘Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get’ goes the famed line from Forest Gump. And I like to make sure that this blog offers some surprises. While this might not be ‘out there’ in terms of the building itself (after all, in the past I’ve shown everything from a tiny house on wheels to a home in a converted fire station), stylistically thinking, this mid-century home is a little different from the other properties I’ve shown lately.
It may be small (269 f2 / 25 m2) but this studio apartment in the heart of Stockholm has everything you need to feel comfortable: a cosy bed, sitting room area, dining table, kitchenette and balcony. The 1930s apartment is also packed with personality (I’m looking at the blend of mid-century modern and vintage furniture (note the red chairs – a running theme in Swedish homes right now, as seen in Monday’s home tour too), and retro touches.
Let’s delve in further to see what’s at play!
A large rug helps to add a cosy touch to the bedroom / living room / dining area – with the choice of dark green adding to the mid-century vibe.
Under-bed storage provides space for clothes and other items.
The traditional gate-leg table can be folded out to cater for more people.
Elfa storage (of which I am a huge fan), is adaptable over time and comes with the option of lots of different accessories including book ends, hooks and even a mirror (although, this one is retro of course!).
The original retro kitchen adds to the overall feel of the apartment.
Love this personal and unique home. It’s a great example of how to ensure lots of storage in a small space – especially for book lovers!
Is there anything that stood out to you?
