Inspiration from Swedish home design.

For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with Swedish home design. With choiceful decor, white, clean lines for everything... what's not to like? If I didn't have a dog with black fur and an equal obsession with knick knacks, I would totally have a space more closely aligned to the very distinct Swedish design aesthetic. That said, it's always a goal of mine to incorporate as much of the functional design guidelines into my home as possible. Here are some inspirational photos to show you exactly what I'm talking about.
