Vintage funk Malmo interior swims in rich detail

WOW! Man, if I could ever have the chance to again redesign an apartment, this is what I will do. What a space! What an amazing collection of ideas all under the same roof. This is not simply interior design, this is art in its freshest form. These rooms are used as canvases where the articles within constitute layer upon layer of richness that give this Malmo apartment a very unique and remarkably funky feeling.

Where does one start? I love the vastness of the spaces. I love the control in filling the large white rooms just enough but not over-filling them. I respect this highly because this is one of my biggest problems. As much as I love beginning with a fresh white space, I too often fill it beyond visual capacity. Control is certainly an art.

Just look at the class with which the soft dress hangs on the living room wall, right at home amongst the more traditional picture frames... and the books casually but sassily affirming their presence as they sit arranged on the ground, not need for a shelf. Notice also the bed-side table, it is made of clean white shoes boxes, serving surface and storage purposes all at once. With the exception of the dining room, all rooms are immaculately painted in white. The dining room itself was painted green to embody the feeling of an old English Library and exude a genuine feeling of rich vintage.
