When you’ve limited space it’s best to keep the ‘shell’ of your home a neutral colour and to have an open-plan layout where possible, to give the illusion of a larger area.  This gorgeous Swedish apartment proves that white can be interesting!  I could move in straight away…

Large windows let-in lots of natural light which reflects off the white interior, giving a spacious and airy feel.

Carefully-placed furniture and home accessories allows the sitting room and dining area to be located in the same room.

Use every nook and cranny effectively- add a few shelves for extra storage.

Wow- this modern bedroom is just stunning isn’t it?!

I’m not sure how I would feel about the washing machine being in the bathroom- is it just me or is that a little strange?!
