In the harbor city of Linnestaden, Sweden, a turn of the century building with stunning interior and exterior architectural elements plays host to a renovated apartment home. The fully modernized apartment was thoughtfully designed in keeping with its history and remains filled with heirloom details such as tiled floors, mirrored doors, stucco, foot rails, ornate molding and ceiling rose. The apartment's modern decor and furnishings meld beautifully with its historical detailing to create an open living space which is nostalgic, fresh and full of life. The floor plan features a row of rooms, one opening onto the next. White walls and ceilings act as a canvas for dramatic pops of black, modern art and strong pattern.
The open living/dining space features unfinished wood floors, white walls and ceiling and filled with modern black, white and gray furnishings. The dining table is an open design which allows light to flow through the space as do the transparent plastic chairs. The coffee table also is open formed.
Featured in the kitchen are a wall of built-in appliances, sleek modern cabinetry, and plentiful work space.
The minimalist kitchen with a galley design is open on either side to the living space beyond.
A small table and stools create a space to eat or linger in the kitchen space.
Tall ceilings leave plenty of room for even the most dramatic lighting choices, like the globe pendant lights found in both the living room and bedroom.
The bedroom is sparsely decorated allowing energy and lift to flow through the space creating a sense of tranquility and calm. Modern art set on an easel brings color to the otherwise white and black decor.
