apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


White on White Swedish Apartment

11-25-08white2.jpg

This Swedish home found on real estate site Innerspec takes the all-white trend and runs with it. We love the way small pops of color stand out against a blank background, and the chandeliers used throughout the space give it a real sense of grandeur. White walls, ceilings, and floors make the space seem larger than its 680 square feet...

The apartment, located within a larger complex, has access to a courtyard garden. Open plan living, dining, and kitchen areas keep the apartment airy, while a large patterned rug anchors the center of the room. For more photos and information, click here.

I absolutely love it, but I would constantly be scared of getting it filthy all the time.

One reason why white everything is so big in Sweden, and the rest of Scandanavia, is because for 6 months of the year they have virtually no or very little daylight. It think it looks cold myself, but if I had little daylight for 6 months of the year I'd be painting everything white too.

Its very beautiful but I would be afraid of it being a bit hard on the eyes at long.

Maybe, but I think I'd still want some color. I love the look of the white walls-furniture-floor with punches of technicolor accessories.

i love white, its so fresh and clean, and when done right with a mix of textures i think it can be very cozy.

sadly, because i tend to be so clumsy (ie- spilling things) i'd never be able to do so much white- along with the fact that we have a 1 year old boy who is also very messy.

You have to bear in mind that the light is different there -- even in the summer, this would not be harsh or stark.

Love it.

Oh, I knew it, ah, yes, the Inner City Specialists, one of Stockholms posh real estate firms. They always have nicely presented units on their website.

I would love to take the plunge into white! So far I have just made it to cream and beige. I love the freshness and "blank slate" feel of white. I have added some white curtains and furniture recently and it freshened up the cream quite a bit.
