Reader's home - a tiny Swedish apartment

Karin, a devoted DTI reader from Umeå, Sweden, is selling her apartment and sent us a link to the real estate listing. It is a tiny studio that has been completely renovated. It's adorable, and perfect for someone without a lot of stuff - which is SO not me. Although how fun would it be to have a little pied-à-terre in Sweden! I love the little alcove bedroom with handy open clothes storage.

I love the usage of space in the tiny bathroom - those shower doors that swing out of the way are just marvelous solution!!
The gray colours would be a bit depressing in the wintertime- I would use brighter colours!

Light colors,m great kitchen for an apartment this size, make it a great place. I love kitchens and this one looks great. For the owner Cooking is more important than sleeping, but in general it looks great.

What a cute little apartment! Even though I'm Swedish myself, I usually think the houses and apartments here are a little too clean and sterile, it's fun to see some color and mix of materials!

Oh my goodness, this is so beautiful. I am using this as the blueprint for how I want my new apartment to be furnished/feel.

Very simplistic and down to earth designs.

I want to build a small office like the top one in my yard.

Well it is nice, but space could of been utilized better - depending of course if dweleres preferences align.
In short, I would at least swap kitchen and bedroom areas, since most ppl like natural light in bed room (North is not marked on those pics but in general sense..), there's a window for you to open if you need fresh air at night etc.
Kitchen could be in reverse C format in the 'old bedroom' space, with side closer to enterance without wall and just element height separator - many ppl like to drop off things from shopping and it is convenient if kitchen/storage/drop zone area is near enterance.
I would make quite some things a bit different, but I like the colors and the feel of space.

Smart utilization of small spaces. There is always something to learn.

Just found this site on Stumble, and I think this is a perfect living space. It doesn't seem small or tomb like because of all the natural light. love it.

Though space is tiny yet its interior decoration is mind blowing.
