On The Rise

Artisan bakers Charlotta and David have blended mid-century modernity with 19th-century grandeur to reinvigorate their Stockholm apartment

LIVING ROOM

‘There’s a simple elegance to this central light that suits our aesthetic,’ says Charlotta. A vintage brass wall light strikes an opulent note, while the sofa exudes Seventies low-slung luxury.

DINING ROOM

This Swedish stove is particularly ornate, its liquid-green tiles shining out against a near monochrome palette. The couple mixed up their own paint colour for the woodwork.

DINING ROOM

Drama reigns here, with an intriguing wallpaper paired with handsome period features. A mid-century floor lamp and an Italian Forties drinks trolley add to the elegant mood.

KITCHEN

‘We wanted this room to look the same as it might have 100 years ago,’ says Charlotta, who opted for old-school fittings and cabinetry.
