I also love this home…so bright and really nice planned

#28 The star rug in the kitchen is a Pappelina rug which you will easily find in a lot of swedish interior shops online!:) They have one with dots that I’m considering getting.

This is a fantastic apartment. So cheerful and bright and open. It is a small space but it doesn’t feel cramped at all. Love it!

Great setup, it looks like you have really found a way to conserve space, and for your apartment to look good.

So fresh! My first design teacher used to pound into us that a good design doesn’t need decoration. Here, the judicious use of color made the “decoration” part of the design in a perfectly seamless way.
You truly have a great eye. Thanks

#27 again…
I just checked out the website (see link above) and there’s a shower

http://www.alvhemmakleri.se/index.php?page=hem-till-salu&object_id=OBJ17735_981529196&view=images

shows even more pics and voila… handheld shower, fully tiled bathroom and what I believe is a rod for a shower curtain. (or for drying clothes?). Bathroom looks good anyway.

Must say, beautiful photography. The RE agents in sweden do a good job of presenting their properties. And oodles of info on the building, renovations, materials etc.

#27: the shower is in the bathroom, to the right (as seen viewing the plan) of the toilet. The plan shows a little ’stump’ coming out of the wall and that must indicate the shower head. Perhaps there’s a shower curtain, perhaps not. Swedish bathrooms are built to get wet, with a drain in the floor. Often there’s no shower curtain or shower wall, you just splash all over and wipe up if necessary with a squeegy thing (a window cleaner’s tool).

Also the photos clearly show a window in the kitchen but the plan shows none. I believe the photos…

What a lovely apartment by the way!! Small but not extremely small by Swedish standards. After all more than 50% of households there house just one person. I’d say this place is certainly big enough for one.

The unusual thing here is that despite its size you’ve got windows in 3 directions which is a godsend. Most places this size would normally (in Sweden) have windows in just one direction which is clearly a disadvantage.

Love to see the smaller size places like this. Like you said, it’s not much of a challenge to create something stunning when you’ve got 300 sq m (3000 sq ft), and gorgeous views, to work with.

It is very cute, and it has a great use of space, but am I the only one who noticed the lack of shower/tub? At least according to the apartment plan, there’s no shower… or maybe the whole bathroom acts like a shower? Like in a camper? :D

If one can’t bathe, it would be awfully hard to keep all that white furniture pristine and dirt-free! ;)

That bedroom is so fab. Not to mention the light above the dining table. Wow!

I’ve lived in just under 500 square feet. The white really makes a difference here! Also, I think that my ceilings were much lower which really made it feel closed in. But, it was a cute little cabin with the teeniest wood stove. Lovely home.
