A cozy and inviting apartment in a modern Swedish skyscraper

This modern apartment is located on the 21st floor of a newly built Swedish skyscraper (Styled by Emma Fisher and Annica Clarmell, photographed by Alen Cordic for Vastfast) and has amazing views over Gothenburg. While it’s always a bit more challenging to add a unique and characterful touch to a new building rather than a historic apartment, I think the stylists of this apartment did an amazing job of making this interior feel homey.

The apartment consists of a spacious living kitchen with a dining and sofa area overlooking the city. The bedroom has a walk-in closet currently used as a small home office. The interior is modern yet cozy, with a mix of neutral tones and black accents for a contrasting effect.

A spacious living kitchen with a sofa area overlooking the city

The kitchen is built on one end of the living space, allowing a large portion of the floor plan for a cozy sofa area with a beige couch and soft area rug.

The beige sofa is paired with a dark wood coffee table and a mix of brown textiles on the couch, adding a wonderful contrast to the white walls in the living space.

An armchair in front of the window makes for a perfect reading corner with a view and sheer white curtains can blend the abundance of sunlight coming through those large windows.

A grey corner kitchen is planned next to the hallway

A minimal kitchen with light grey cabinets and a white countertop is planned out in a corner layout right next to the entrance of the apartment.

The corner layout leaves the middle of the space free for a round dining table. The light wood table paired with the dark wood dining chairs and brown accessories adds a beautiful warm and dark touch to the light kitchen space.

The countertop material is used on the kitchen backsplash as well and a chrome faucet adds a modern element to the kitchen design.

A white bedroom with brown accents and a walk-in closet

Just like the rest of the apartment, the walls of the bedroom are painted crisp white, making the black and brown textiles and accessories stand out powerfully.

The color palette of the textiles on the bed comes back in the colors of the art print hanging above the bedside table.

A walk-in closet doubles as a home office space and the decor matches the one of the bedroom perfectly.

Entrance area with a custom storage wardrobe

The hallway features a custom wardrobe made out of the same materials as the kitchen, making both functional areas blend into each other. A large wall mirror is great for checking yourself before you leave the house, however, it also reflects some light back into this area of the apartment.
