The Swedish capital is brimming with pastel-hued palaces, grand waterside buildings and cutting-edge, minimalist structures that showcase the best of Scandi design through the ages.
We’ve found four homes for sale in Stockholm and the surrounding county that will delight fans of Scandi style, with a quirky water tower conversion in Vaxholm and a dreamy, woodland idyll in the mix. There are plenty of natural materials and unfussy lines on offer – plus a touch of Nordic noir.
Contemporary barn-like house in Lidingö
5 bedrooms; 30m kr SEK via Sweden Sotheby’s International Realty

Converted water tower in Vaxholm
4 bedrooms; 19.75m kr SEK via Christie’s International Real Estate
With its circular, stepped design, copper top, spire, and porthole windows, it is easy to imagine this converted 1920s water tower in a Wes Anderson film. The brick building underwent adaptive reuse 20 years ago. It features curved windows in the main living space and a classic Swedish sauna with sea views on its top floor. But there is scope to add your own touch: the former water tank could become a swimming pool while the empty second floor has the potential to be an atelier. And, it has the bonus of generating income from a telecommunication antennae lease.
