And this staged apartment from Alvhem gets the mix just right. Using orange sparingly as an accent color adds some warmth to to the chic atmosphere, and the dark gray, orange and white patterned wallpaper in the kitchen really ties everything together. We'd love to see a similar combination using a muted gray-lavender in place of the pale gray for an even stronger sunset feel.

Reminiscent of a sunset on a slightly overcast day (most days in our neighborhood), this color combination is one we've long adored...

I think the colors are beautiful together - I wish I was daring (or had the money to refurnish) enough to do this.
gorgeous - but can you make it easier to access the images? having to load a new page to view each new image larger size is time consuming and inconvenient
love your stuff, fixing this would make the blog really perfect
My thoughts exactly Jeff
Jeff and chickiegirl 21 get an "amen" from me.
Great apartment- I love the colors!
Wow, purdy! :)
gray, white and orange are my favorite colors... i've used white and gray all over my house... with spots of orange.
i love the brightness of the rooms and the tall ceilings!
Very nice! Love how the colors work so well together.
GORGEOUS. I love grey with any bright color.
needs more orange
Who makes that sofa?
Lovely!!
it looks great.......but keeping all that white fabric clean would be a challenge
Great use of that IKEA rug, which I love but have been puzzling over how to use.
I like it, but at the same time it slightly reminds me of my old university's library, which was stuck in the 70s. . .
The wallpaper moves the look up a notch.
Oooh, I like! Actually, the living room looks a lot like my apartment's living room (although mine isn't quite as spacious), so this is very inspirational. I have white walls and wood floors....I'd love a light sectional like this, but have been wondering if the whole room would seem too washed out.
This just seems light and airy, so maybe I'll look into it!
ditto sunan!
i just painted my living room in African Tulip from ICI/Dulux and the morning sun coming in there makes it look like the sunrise exploded in my house! i LOVE it!
will you look at the gorgeous bones of this apartment!
Aaahh, gorgeous Swedish apartments...
Yeah.. I agree with Jeff.
I find clicking the thumbnails extremely annoying with new page loading for a single image
Could someone please fix this? pretty please?
Jesikka -
The sofa is Ikea - they discontinued it though.
I just KNEW it was a Scandinavian home. Gotta love those windows.
Neat home.
And to jump on the images bandwagon -- an awful lot of visitors have been saying this for a long time now. This way of presenting images is a real pain -- if you're trying to avoid Flash (I'm guessing that's why the current method is used?), then why don't you use the same setup as for home tours? It's still loading a new page, yes, but at least it's not the SAME page (apart from the image) and thus you could add descriptions for each image, as is done for homes.
