The Classic Sand Beige Kitchen in Stockholm
In the charming district of Vasastan in Stockholm, lies a stunning apartment dating back to the late 19th-century. Here, timeless elegance meets light, airy tones of warm, sand beige and classic period character in a seamless, cohesive whole. The bespoke sand beige kitchen, together with the custom-made bathroom and wardrobe cabinetry in the same graceful Shaker style, has been designed by Nordiska Kök, setting the tone for an interior that honours the home’s heritage while seamlessly blending a serene Scandinavian aesthetic and natural warmth with the rest of the home.

The home’s aesthetic is defined by a gentle, natural colour palette and a timeless Scandinavian sensibility, where classic period details – from herringbone parquet floors and high ceilings to ornate cornicing – are complemented by bespoke cabinetry and carefully chosen Scandinavian furniture.
In the kitchen, the full ceiling height has been utilised with tall, built-in cabinets that maximise storage. Appliances are from Gaggenau.

The kitchen is planned to the finest detail, blending seamlessly with the home’s beautiful architecture while maximising functionality. Beautiful Shaker-style cabinet fronts and timeless knobs give it a classic look. Both upper and lower cabinets provide generous storage, while the soft sand beige tone, paired with light walls and abundant natural light, makes the space feel bright and open.
Custom-built wardrobes in a matching sand beige finish, also from Nordiska Kök, contribute to the home’s sense of continuity. Every material and colour has been selected with care, resulting in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Natural light streams into the apartment, softening the muted natural palette and creating a calm, welcoming ambience.

The classic kitchen design complements the home’s architectural detailing, while the warm, inviting feel continues in every room. Wardrobes in the hallway and bedroom are as beautifully integrated as they are practical, blending seamlessly into the home and reinforcing the consistent design throughout.
The bespoke bedroom wardrobes – also by Nordiska Kök – are a perfect example of functional elegance.
To carry the same sense of unity into the bathroom, a made-to-measure vanity in the same colour and finish as the kitchen and wardrobes was commissioned.
Just like the rest of the home, the bathroom exudes a warm and serene atmosphere, with soft beige tones taking centre stage.
