The dominant color in this historic apartment (for sale via Stadshem) is a soft, warm cream-white that reflects the daylight coming in through the large historic windows and accentuates the flat’s classic charm.
Shaker-style cabinetry, characterized by clean lines and recessed panel doors, is used in the kitchen and for storage modules throughout the apartment, resulting in a timeless, elegant look that suits the historic setting. The custom storage built-ins maximize vertical space and serve both aesthetic and practical purposes.
A cream shaker kitchen with a cooking alcove
The cream colored shaker cabinets with crown molding and aged brass hardware have a classic effect in the gorgeous space. The white marble countertops with subtle veining are finished with a small backsplash. The cooking alcove that includes the stove has a full marble backsplash to prevent splatters on the wall while cooking.

Functional under-cabinet lighting is added to light up the countertop at night or on darker days.
The kitchen dining area features a charming vintage table and chairs that enhance the apartment’s historic feel. The aged wood adds warmth and character, while the soft cream cabinetry provides a light, elegant backdrop. A classic light fixture above the table creates a cozy and refined space.
The kitchen window seat offers a cozy nook framed by natural light, with a built-in heater neatly concealed beneath the backrest. This spot is perfect for relaxing while enjoying the warmth and view.
A fully beige living room with a built-in open wall shelf
The fully beige living room exudes calm with its monochromatic palette and soft textures. The space feels serene, refined, and intentionally understated.
A built-in open wall shelf adds architectural interest, displaying books and curated objects. An integrated effect is achieved by painting the shelving in the same color as the living room walls.
A beige bedroom with wainscoting and a classic built-in wardrobe
The beige bedroom is warm and elegant, featuring traditional bedroom wainscoting that adds depth to the walls. A classic built-in wardrobe blends seamlessly with the decor, offering both storage and style for a timeless and soothing look.
Next to the bedroom window, a vintage desk and chair create a charming workspace with character. A classic wall lamp provides focused light, while an oversized round mirror above adds depth and reflects the room’s soft tones.
The walk-in closet is cleverly designed using IKEA Pax modules, custom-painted to match the walls for a seamless, built-in look. The uniform color creates a calm, cohesive space, while the modular system offers ample storage.
A grey wall color and custom storage in the entryway
The grey wall color in the hallway sets this space apart from the rest of the apartment. An arched mirror attached on top of a stone slab wall shelf makes for a contemporary design piece.
Built-in wardrobe modules are painted in the same grey color as the walls and doorframes, making them look very integrated into the space.
