Apartment by Devine Interior Design

In the sought after location of Stockholm lies this charming apartment that dates back to 1899, the owners have done a more than impressive job of creating a harmonious balance. Retaining the traditional Swedish features while keeping the interior design, contemporary.
Throughout the apartment the parquet flooring seems to give a warmth and depth, especially so in the elegant hallway that leads onto a balcony. The walls painted a warmer tone to compliment the flooring.

The balcony isn't to my taste however the painted mural is a wonderful idea when there is no view to speak of. The potted purple and blue heather's also add a relaxed atmosphere to the space. It is however lacking some colour or a few quirky accessories for myself.
This is where the apartment seems to really come into it's own, such wonderful key iconic pieces and a lot of natural light
.
This is the inner lounge, ah what it is to be Swedish! The star parquet flooring, the panelling, the amazing ceiling makes this room shine with or without furniture really! However the simple central black and white furniture works with the period features wonderfully.
The typical red and white Scandinavian kitchen almost doesn't seem part of the same apartment. However it has a sense of being tucked away which creates a homely feel especially with the black range and the small but perfectly formed seating area.
