I love color, yet find myself seduced by the beautiful simplicity and serenity created by a mostly white interior. Well, one like this Swedish urban home that is the epitome of calm in a chaotic city. Once inside the bright uncluttered space you will feel your shoulders lift and your mood lighten. Leave your cares and excess baggage at the door. These homeowners have successfully avoided unnecessary embellishments. Yet their eclectic sense of style shines in each carefully chosen sleek or sassy and functional furnishing.
Dark wood floors and columns and time-worn bricks contrast with the sleek metal door frames and glass guard rails. Glass rails contribute to the clean lines by virtually disappearing and allowing light to pass through. The terrace’s accordion doors expand the living area and flood the room with light. Who wouldn’t love the terrace that’s sleek and comfy? This outdoor sanctuary is perfectly appointed for a lounge, herb growing, grilling, or a candlelight dinner.
I can feel the soft smooth brick as I descend the stairs, illuminated by a sky light. Beautifully concealed storage gives way to another level of sunlit rooms.
First there is the eat-in kitchen with sleek, minimal, familiar, and warm furnishings. A child’s room is colorfully gender-neutral and spatially expanded by mirrored closet doors. An austere parents’ room is warmed by the textures of the wood floors, flowering plants, brick wall, and fabrics. I imagine the owners are much like their home, stylish, fun, and uncomplicated.
