One of the world's most well-known TV presenters has praised an apartment that she saw when paying a visit to Denmark, which features white furniture as a part of a white colour scheme than runs throughout.
Oprah Winfrey visited a Danish home and was very impressed with the use of space and furniture, which included white bedroom furniture, white tables, chairs, cabinets and bedside tables. She even commented that it is no wonder Denmark is classed one of the happiest countries in the world, with such a light and airy lifestyle.
"One this is certain - they don't need all the gratuitous space, something that we have become used to, in order to live happily." She had a good look around the family home that housed 5 children and two adults, and was amazed at just how small the little one's rooms were. Yet she said that it felt a little strange, you could see the room was small, but you didnt feel claustrophobic .
By all accounts the kitchen was no less snug, but at the same did not feel inadequate due again to the clever use of space. The dining room furniture was also light and made use of well. This is quite common in Danish homes, where limited space means families have to use it intelligently and with a careful choice of colors. "It is all too easy to find yourself with a room that is constraining and cold when you don't have much space" the homeowner stated. The trick is to only have visible what is necessary, and store the rest away.
Winfrey has recently purchased a new home in Florida and has been keeping her eye out for styling tips lately. After a recent visit to Africa she said that she would like to give the rooms an earthy feel, and use the colour scheme of a dress that she was given as a gift by a local tribe. If I can combine the African look with the clean white look that I saw in Denmark that I will be happy Oprah stated. She did however admit that this was probably harder than she made it sound, and she might need some help making it work
