Children's Rooms: Simple Swedish Style
From Sarah
Coping with mountains of kids' toys and paraphernalia can be a challenge. These scenes from Swedish houses, via photographer Mari Eriksson (via Cookie), show how the Scandis have perfected the art of simplicity. White walls and wood floors provide the backdrop for a few colorful items; art supplies and other essentials are stowed in white cupboards; and we love the use of a skipping rope to hang art.

It appears from these lovely shots that the swedes got the most basic part right - 9' ceilings...
I realize this post is about a year old, but I'm so pleased to have found it. I'm about to paint my kids' room white and have been agonizing over which paint sample to go with. Not that this entry helps with the matter, but it certainly confirms how beautiful a white room can be with the right accessories. I keep coming back to it over and over again. I can't decide whether to paint the walls and trim the same color, as in the pictures above, or go with the traditional bright white trim and creamy walls. We have a bungalow with chunky trim & a there's a white fireplace in the room. Any advice?
Have you seen Mark Ruffalo's kids' bedroom? It's fantastic.
