A modern home in Östermalm, a district of Stockholm, is the nest of a young family with children who previously lived outside the city. The new apartment, located in a historic building from 1881, has been completely renovated to personalize it in a distinctive way, very much in line with this year’s home trends.

The old layout of the house was completely transformed; where the kitchen was, a bedroom was created, and a wall in the living room was demolished to create larger spaces.

The owner, Edita, a Swedish food blogger with a passion for interior design, has a strong creative streak and experiences spaces as dynamic elements. Her personal and refined touch permeates the entire apartment.

Having managed a blog on the subject for five years, food and the kitchen are two essential elements in the home and in her life. For this space, she envisioned a welcoming and open area, which is indeed part of the living room, an ideal solution for organizing dinners with friends and guests in an informal and pleasant atmosphere.

The two rooms have light blue walls and large windows that let in natural light. The living room is decorated in shades of blue and pink in various hues, as seen in the poufs and seating, the large sofa, and the fabrics.

Above the marble counter, the splendid Taraxacum ceiling lamp by Flos and on the floor, cushions by Hermès and Asplund.

Another favorite space for Edita is the bedroom, conceived as a relaxation oasis, an intimate space for her but also for the family; considering that the family travels a lot, it has been furnished with a hotel room allure in shades of gray with velvet and silk fabrics.

As in the kitchen, the master bedroom’s bathroom features the marble texture, with rich and bold veins. A truly elegant material that decisively defines the space and was immediately agreed upon by both husband and wife.

The bathroom and the bedroom, in particular, are a unique space, a true suite that includes a Turkish bath and is divided only by a glass wall.
