These images are from a couple of years ago but they had such jaw-dropping effects on me yesterday when I saw them for the first time, I knew I had to share! Tham & Videgård Arkitekter re-imagined this traditional Art Nouveau apartment in Stockholm in the most striking of ways. The entire space features dramatic oversized and multicoloured parquet flooring inspired by the seasonally changing colours of adjacent Humlegården Park “from winter grey and black to summertime bright and deep green, to orange, red and yellow in autumn”. I don’t think it would be humanly possible to have a bad day in this apartment. Colour therapy meets architecture? It is definitely a feat of colour mixing and pattern. My personal favourite are the rooms with a neon orange, hot pink and black hues. Do you think you could live in a space this uniquely dazzling? At the very least, this apartment has inspired me to paint some doorways in vibrant colours!

UGH! Sigh…somehow I fear my “after” photos aren’t gonna look like this. STUNNING!
I have the same fears! How does one make homemade oversized parquet flooring? I say we give it a go!
Oh my god this is absolutely incredible. I am just gob-smacked. WOW.
I think gob-smacked in the perfect description. That is exactly how I felt upon seeing this incredible apartment!
