- For hundreds of videos now we’ve showed you wonderful Scandinavian design pieces and extraordinary interiors. It’s easy to believe that all Scandinavian homes look like this, perfectly planned and filled with design classics. Sadly this is definitively not the case. In fact, most Swedish homes looks pretty much the same, and personally we don’t understand or appreciate this dominating style. To show you what we mean we’re gonna look at some randomly chosen houses posted for sale at the Swedish online housing portal Hemnet. Some houses we will show you are expensive, some are more reasonably priced. But in all cases, a specific interior style is totally dominating - the white, light and empty trend.

I was in Stockholm Hammerby for 3 months last winter. Being a German carpenter and designer, I was a little disappointed from the general housing situation. But a coffee and a cinnamon roll made up for it :) in general public places are really nice build and a lot of thought went into the how and why of those buildings. but private property is often made from gypsum and cheap building materials. And now I know, that it's not just the place where I lived ^^thank you for that!
Id really like to see how you guys live, or just staple pieces from your own home that you guys love. I fully understand if you dont want to show your own home.
Have been living in Sweden for quite long now and through the process of buying a house. I took at least 10 viewings before realizing I was not looking at the right things as Homestaging was so overwhelming and similar too in every place. It was hard to project myself anywhere. Now I bought smth with a lot of character after seing the place several times. Homestaging is a way to make you see the space as bigger I think. But you quickly realize it is too minimalist for a family and that it can quickly become a mess if you do not keep it like shown it to you. Looking to buy? So beware and try to project yourself by getting rid of the beautiful perfect clean deco.
Love you guys! Say it like it is!
On the positive side, it's great for new owner to have a blank slate
I'm from spain and was visiting stockholm last month and i saw so many iconic designer lamps in people's windows and some furniture too, compared to my country i would say swedes appreciate design a lot
Well, at least the Swedes love white walls and wood floors. That's a positive.
I have sold two flats over the last 3 years. Before putting them on sale, I had painted them in various colors, decoarating in kind of an eclectic style with lots of DIY and personal pieces. But to cater to all kinds of potential buyers' tastes, I "homestaged" them all white with minimal neutral furniture and, where flaws required some cover-up or distraction, in the current design trends. I understand it is fundamentally impossible to show "real" homes with real people still living in, but that might give a glare of hope to your national cultural pessimissm ;-)...
In Denmark it is the same. Especially during the mostly grey winter here. A bit depressing.
Hi from Wales :)
It looks like the designer is colorblind, Your eye as nowhere to focus, Just a primary colors (Blue, red, yellow, Green) blanket, pillow or rug would make the room pop. And why is the wood on the ceiling painted white, It does not make it very cozy or Hygge. Motif would also help the desing.
I live in Slovenia and I was surprised by your video, because here the typical interiors look almost the same sadly. A set of upholstered chairs around the table, a grey ugly sofa and bare white walls or maybe an "accent wall" somewhere and a lot of fake finnishes everywhere. Anyway, brave comments 😂
Thanks! ;) Yeah, well, sadly interiors probably tend to look pretty much the same all over the world.
14:00 The houses attached in a row and sharing the same backyard is very much in line with what socialists like Corbusier and so many other mega famous architects pushed, so I guess their plan is coming along quite nicely. I love modern design, but do not agree with much of their philosophy behind it. (Megacities with people packed in like sardines in high-rises, or where everything is shared with no such thing as personal property.)
Your opinion ist interesting to me but you are coming of quite offensive. Good idea anyway.
This was hilarious! Great video and very opinionated. The complete flip side of my personal taste and yet bland furniture which unfortunately can be found in my families homes. I blame Ikea with their 90s UK promotional tag line "Chuck Out Your Chintz", subsequently followed by designer teak furniture being replaced by dull, drab, uninspiring and unaesthetic poo...
When I was viewing property a couple of years ago ( UK), practically every interior was just the same. A lot of Grey and a mass of laminated flooring.. ghastly. I could go on but way too depressing.
Nothing different from here in the US. Welcome to globalization.
I am just hoping that the realtors selling these properties are persuading their clients to stage their properties in this bland way to appeal a larger group of buyers. Cant's believe most swedes would want to live this way. I think some of the comments left here are a bit harsh on you. You are swedes, living in Sweden and are entitled to your opinion. I'm someone with no white or grey in my home so perhaps a bit biased. Welcome back Sanna, you were missed.
I think this video does you both very little credit. Sneering publicly at other peoples' taste, particularly when you have borrowed the pictures from their house adverts, is itself not in very good taste. One thing which you have ignored is the aspect of the rooms you are criticising. As an example, our kitchen faces due north. The cabinets all have wood doors which have darkened significantly over the years making the room very dismal. So, guess what? It's all going and will be replaced with white cabinets. Worktops and floor yet to be decided but we really look forward to the result.
Why are you so offended by what they say? These are interiors of houses that are up for sale, so hardly a representation of peoples' tastes. It's very common for sellers to simplify the decor and paint so that new buyers can imagine and make the house their own. Having blank white walls allows the new buyers to easily paint whatever color they like right over it. It's not like these houses are being sold furnished.
@@agomodern You may well be right about people doing a redec to sell their houses but wouldn't this make them less typically Swedish? I think you've made my point for me.
@@glynjones2540 It's called globalization where cultures are merged into one. Yes, probably not much Swedish about these interiors.
