Midday Muse: In the White Room

August 23, 2007

Minimalism done right is inspiring indeed, and I particularly love stark, peaceful looks in bedrooms. This interior, from the Swedish magazine Sköna hem, looks rustic yet modern; I love the wall-mounted lamp.

Wow, that is stark! I usually like this style, but this could really use one or two colorful pieces. Maybe a pillow or a rug or a simple two color quilt at the foot of the bed.

I really like it. I usually don't like bare white rooms, but this one is doing it for me with the gaps between the wood panel, making it a full visual experience. Need a blankie though! Twinkle is right, winters there are dark and long. They are at the same altitude as Alaska. The Gulf stream makes it warmer, but it is equally dark as Siberia.

i like it. space to relax. but i do want to put a bright wool throw on the end of the bed. and move the rug further away from the wall.

1. LOL cravinsugar cracked me up with the song reference 2. Great room. But I would rather the bed off the floor. Looks too much like an air mattress like this.

I love the whole look! And minimalistic style is my fav one. Apart from that I love disco style and pop art. :P

I like all the white, but feel as if something's missing. It needs some accessories (even if they're black/white/gray). Maybe a piece of artwork on that blank wall...just something.

It looks like a room in a very old two story house. Maybe and attic space.

Rooms like this totally make sense when you live in Scandinavia where the winters are long and dark. If you paint the walls any darker, the room will feel like a cave in the winter and be very depressing. It's also very nice in the summer when it reflects all the light we get from the Midnight Sun.

Oh No! Not for me lol I love color & I love stuff, so this room is way to plain & bare for me. However I do like the mounted light.

I like this.. it definitely has the bare-boned swedish vibe.

hmmmmm not my type. I like color.

I like the design. I love all of the lines. But as some of the others who have posted, I don't think I'd personally like living there. But hey, if someone can live there without being depressed, then good for them.

Is there a white straight jacket to go with this room. After awhile, I'd go a little stir crazy---NO DOUBT!

This particular room isn't doing it for me, but I like the idea of any all white bedroom. I think it would need more texture than this room to work.

Reminds me of a psychiatric ward.....not that I've ever been in one.....but you know what I mean!

not very cozy - if i were a guest in this room, i WOULD cry!

Oh usually I would LOVE this but today, this room makes me want to cry. It looks like a prison cell. A place where you would go to die. It's very depressing to me. Weird
