Stockholm Loft Apartment with Grey Accents

This Stockholm loft apartment with grey accents is full of gorgeous details. Its left me longing for some design-filled solo escapism, though you can't stay here unless you plan on buying it.

This is a great example of how to decorate an older property without losing its character. Supported by a contemporary, minimal interior, it holds on to its rustic period features. Painting the walls with a neutral colour paint and just a small selection of framed art allow the bare bones of the building to shine through.

Built in 1930s, this open plan apartment enjoys lofty ceilings highlighted by black wooden beams. The rough plaster walls painted in grey limewash give it a wabi-sabi feel, contrasting against contemporary and modernist classics. You can only imagine the views across the city from up here.

The apartment has been furnished with a grey linen sofa. Pale wood legs lift it off the floor and continue the flow of space throughout the room. A deep pile grey rug and polished concrete coffee table zones the living room area with a wide view into the dining area and kitchen beyond. I also love how it contrasts against the warm wood floors.

The rattan lounge chair, cosy cushions, and large potted houseplants soften any hard edges. And if those rubber trees are anything like the one in my living room, they'll flourish under those skylights. Notice how the owners have continued touches of black in the Wishbone dining chairs? They cleverly connect with the exposed beams and tie the whole apartment together.

I really had to search to track down this shell shaped lamp but I discovered it's a piece called 'Tropez' by Swedish lighting brand Globen. The shade is made from unbleached papier mache with a wooden base and I love its wabi-sabi aesthetic.
