500 SQUARE FEET OF BEIGE – APARTMENT STYLE

January 13, 2015
  • Share

Best of friend AM has made it clear she does not like beige interior design.   I respect her design opinion so much.  She has been the sounding board for all my ideas for the COCOCOZY collection (which she likes by the way because it is not at all beige).  AM has expressed her distaste for beige so much that I am afraid to tell her that I am not sure I have anything against beige!  Oh me oh my…should I tell her that I might actually even like the use of beige in home decor if it is done right?

Case in point…this small one bedroom 500 square foot Stockholm apartment…I like it a lot and I think the beige is very soothing and stylish too.  In the living room, I like the beige flowing drapery, the cute compact beige sofa and the creamy beige walls.  Interior design in beige is not boring in this case…not at all!

Who says beige has to be bland?  In this case beige makes a small apartment feel quite sophisticated.

Do you all agree with me or agree with best of friend AM on the beige debate?

Happy Tuesday!

    Yes, but here in the USA we usually do not have the great architectural detail of this apartment. I would need to add some red and a bit of black as I would never be able to move after being soothed. Great post! Mary

    To me it looks all white to me and there is nothing at all wrong with that!

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
