The Swedish Interior Designs are heavily influenced by the light and weather of Scandinavia, because long dreary winters with early dusk and a lack of natural light necessitated rethinking the structure of the interior design. Anything dark, gloomy, and heavy was out while anything pale, light, airy, and minimal was in. Pale walls ( especially white ones ), floors, and furnishings reflected whatever light was available, thus cheering and lightening even the darkest days of winter. Accessories are kept simple and displayed in an uncluttered manner, that offers a fresh and clean look. Swedish style interiors are becoming more and more popular. It’s a look that combines refined elegance with a casual aged appearance that seems to have universal appeal. These beautiful minimalistic interior design pictures are from Åsberg Interiör & Styling ( of course a Swedish website ).

I wish I can pull off that minimalist styling in my traditional house. I’ve tried to make it work, but it just comes off as uneven.

Hi,
Great Blog! Does anyone have some good ideas & pics for lowered ceilings. I’ve got to lower a ceiling for airconditioning units & girders & the whole ceiling height is 270 mtrs to start with.
I also have to put in columns in awkward places any creative solutions would be appreciated.
thanks

Hi flo,
270m aint that bad. Some pointers:
Keep the colours bright and ceilings as white as possible. Also, if you have the opportunity, have an electrician to install integrated spotlights in your ceiling, that makes the roof seem higher up aswell as giving your room a nice ambience.
Columns are actually great for shelves, if possible create shelves between two of the columns. If you use glass then the construction will seem much lighter.
