SEE THIS HOUSE: WHITE OUT WITH CHARACTER!

May 12, 2011
  • Share
White living room with gingham covered armchair, black floor lamp, black and white piped floor cushions, round black table, a light blue bench under a window and a white table with white eames chairs

Adore these photos from the portfolio of Norway interior designer Annette Ekjord. A small house in Sweden I assume…that is all white.

All white doesn’t have to mean bland as you see here. Lots of character in all of the details. Love the vichy (gingham) covered arm chair in the living room and the black floor lamp – both add a some needed contrast in this white space.  Also, notice the white and black piped floor cushions stacked on the shelf in the living room…good idea for extra casual seating in a small space. I also like the wall of framed pictures in the small dining room – this collection of black framed art adds great texture to the wall I think.

Alternative view of the living room with a view of the white sofa, white nested side tables and art on the walls in black frames
On the left there is a white dining room with a white table, eames chair and bench style seating, on the walls are 12 photographs in black frames arranged in a rectangle, in the corner there is a red donkey. On the right there is a black bin on a white counter in front of a white tile wall with herbs, bottles and other items
On the left is a close up of a table holding glass bottles and white candles in white candlesticks and a small plant in a white pot, on the right is a close up of a white built in shelf stuffed full of brightly colored books
On the left is a white bedroom with a wood floor, white bed skirt and a pendant light. On the right is an entry way with coat hangers, a blue chair and a brown baby carriage

What do you think of this little nest. Just right or too much white? Please do tell.

Going to the dentist this morning! Late already. Party tonight at the beach…must muster up energy to attend!  Tired already.  Need to motivate…help!

Happy Thursday!

    Hi Coco, I love this adorable place. It is very Ikea done right. I love the cod hide swivel stool (which I have and plan to put in my daughters room) and the cow hide rug.

    It probably is a little too much white for me BUT having said that I am amazed at how much texture and warmth is added to the room with all her accessories and it certainly isn’t bland! Nicolex

    I think it’s amazing. Whites can be so hard to do right. I’m revealing my new white kitchen tomorrow, and am so hoping I did it right!

    I think you can’t go wrong with whites — even a mix of different whites. For people who like to change things around and accessorize, it’s great, because you have a simple background to play with. These photos are so refreshing. Thanks.

The Mute. 220 sqm of Haussmannian light in eastern The Mute. 220 sqm of Haussmannian light in eastern Paris, dressed entirely in white.
Old-world plasterwork meets contemporary furniture, and warm brown-stained wood quietly anchors every room. A conversation between heritage and modernity that never raises its voice. By @atelierdaaa 🤍

Did you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-ÉlyséeDid you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-Élysées closes to traffic entirely?
No cars. Just people, walking straight down the center with the Arc de Triomphe ahead. Then I walked home over The Seine. It had just rained, and the sky was doing something extraordinary. And of course, the Eiffel Tower showed up right on cue.
Paris on a quiet Sunday is something else. 🖤

This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millo This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millory @felixmillory , is defined by two things: a tightly controlled material palette and a sculptural art collection that runs through every room without exception.
Travertine frames every doorway. Dark smoked oak covers the joinery and cabinetry. Grey marble runs across the kitchen counters and island. Within that framework, figurative sculptures on the shelves, a large totemic piece at the entrance, stone forms on the dining table, a large-format artwork in the kitchen. Every room has at least one object that demands your attention. 🗿
→ Save this if you’re designing around a sculpture collection.
