Chilly White in the Hot Summer


It's humid as hell in New York City, and there's really no better way to cool down than to look at pictures of an icy-white apartment in Skåne, Sweden... or you could probably just eat some ice cream too. Either or, your choice. This nordic-inspired interior is grounded by dark wooden floors, topped with bright white walls that are made even brighter by the natural light flowing through the white curtains. The area's brightness makes the space feel fresh and bold. Although the white walls  and contemporary furniture pack a punch of modernity, the scattered artwork on the walls and resting against the walls make the room feel lived-in and comfortable. The lack of color used in the space isn't so much apparent because there's texture throughout, especially with the natural elements placed around the apartment, like the wooden block side table, and the plants used in each room. This space would be warm and inviting during the winter months because the white palette would compliment the snowy weather, while the same space in the summer is oddly refreshing from the stark white walls.
