A Beautiful Swedish Home As White As Its Snowy Surroundings!
We’re seeing a load more colour seeping into Scandinavian homes right now. But who said we have to follow the trend? Anette’s beautiful Swedish home is proof that white will always be right, too! Her tone on tone palette with subtle nuances of light grey and the odd touch of rustic is the epitome of calm and just like the blanket of snow, it’s a picture of peace and tranquillity. Better still, the ‘all white’ look is super easy to achieve with a few clever tricks. Välkommen in!
Anette has worked hard to break up the white in subtle ways. The nuanced texture in the tiles and marble worktop / back splash help to add interest and depth to the space, while a rustic wood stool* helps to add contrast and bring the space together.
A chrome toaster*, bin and sink carry the white and grey thread throughout the kitchen.
The Gervasoni Ghost sofa is always a winner as the linen adds a lovely relaxed look. If you find the price a little out of your league, combining a Söderhamn sofa from IKEA with an absolute white loose fit linen cover from Bemz will give you a similar look for a fraction of the price (great hack!).
White can appear cool – but Anette has used layers of texture to soften the look. Think soft rugs, linen and fluffy white sheepskins* galore!
Playing with different shapes is also a great way to bring a white look to life. The Atollo lamp* is one of my favourites! Isn’t it fab?
Is anyone else a fan of wide wood flooring? I have a sneaking suspicion this one is from Dinesen (one of my favourites!).
The beauty of using white in the home, is that you can add pieces without really ‘adding them’. Does that make sense? What I mean is, a bold colourful chair in the corner of this landing could make the area look cluttered, left empty and it could look, well… empty!! But a white eames chair* with a soft white sheepskin* adds something to the space, making it more homely without the visual clutter! Clever! I might just use this trick on my own landing!
This bathroom is divine, don’t you think?! The wooden table is from Granit but sadly seems to be out of stock. Annoyingly.
White string storage is perfect for hiding any clutter (and ‘colourful’ items!).
Surprise! All that white and the exterior is actually jet black. What a beautiful contrast.
Let’s take a moment to admire the breath-taking scenery too.
Beautiful. Really beautiful.
I love the simplicity.
Does this all white look appeal to you?
If in doubt, you can see more pictures of Anette’s home over at @whitelivingetc and you might also like to check out the beautiful white home of Malin Nilsson. I can also recommend the book For the Love of White by Chrissie Rucker – it’s one of my favourites.
Oh, and there’s an entire archive dedicated to white homes here – just saying!
