Straight lines, simple accents and a white décor in Sweden

by Simona Ganea, posted in Apartments, on May 8th, 2013

If I were to decorate my apartment from scratch I would make it very simple. Sometimes it’s best not to overcomplicate things. Moreover, a simple décor is advantageous from several points of view. It’s a wonderful choice if you have a small apartment. The lack of unnecessary accessories and furniture pieces frees up floor space and thus the rooms seem larger. It’s exactly the effect chosen for this lovely apartment.

Located in Sweden, this apartment features a Nordic-inspired interior décor. It’s almost entirely white and it has black accents and some touches of color here and there. The white background featured on the walls and ceilings makes the rooms feel larger and more airy. It’s also the perfect choice if you want to make something stand out. It’s easier to have simple accent pieces in such a décor because they stand out simply because of their color or shape.

Your home is more than just a building. It is your sanctuary; the place where you can unwind and recharge before heading out into the world again. Much like your clothing choices, your living space should reveal your personality. This is what transforms your house into a home.

More Than What You Like.

Of course the furniture and accessories you place in your home represent the styles of décor that you like. For instance, you might enjoy making a room look vintage or placing Victorian-print wallpaper in the bedroom. However, sometimes it’s a good idea to go a little deeper than what your design likes are.

Nobody likes a messy bed in their home. But nobody really likes making the bed either so we find ourselves in a dilemma.

A very beautiful and relaxing window nook makeover

by Simona Ganea, posted in DIY, on May 7th, 2013

When decorating a house, everyone first focuses on the main spaces. Those are the main rooms. But in every house there are also secondary spaces and those are usually the hallways, closets and nooks. They might not be perceived in the same way as the main rooms but they are also very important for the overall result. They make a home feel complete and they can often change the way the whole home feels like when they’re used to their full potential.

This is the story of how a simple, empty space near the window was turned into a cozy and very lovely reading nook. It was a one weekend project when it was rainy outside. The first step was to rip down the original baseboards and to make a rectangular box with a divider and some shelves on the front. A portion of the baseboard was replaced and a piece of trim was added to give it a rounded edge. Then everything was painted white.
