Playful Farrow & Ball colours offer a glimpse of what this grand Stockholm apartment – on the market from 20.9m SEK – could look like after it’s fully renovated.

The 19th-century Östermalm property is being marketed by estate agency Lagerlings and is in need of some TLC. While the home retains its original stucco panelling, tiled stove and parquet flooring, Lagerlings has turned to the historic English paint company for interior inspiration, dressing its walls in shades that play with perspective and bring out the glamour beneath its worn surfaces.

Torstenssonsgatan 15’s is set across six rooms but could be reconfigured. It also has two balconies overlooking the surrounding neighbourhood, which is popular with Stockholm’s well-heeled, and filled with boutique stores, bars and restaurants.
