Oprah Praises White Furniture
One of the most respected TV hosts in the world has commented on her approval of a house in Denmark that has been designed using an all-white colour scheme, which makes the most out of limited space.
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. She even noted, “whilst there was not much room in there, you never felt like it was small or restrictive”.
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 very easy to end up having a dark and cluttered room when you have little space the owner of the home pointed out. “It’s a balance between having what is needed out on show, and what is not needed stored carefully”.
Winfrey has recently purchased a new home in Florida and has been keeping her eye out for styling tips lately. 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. “All I need to do is have clean space and smooth lines like I saw in Denmark, and combine that with the vibrance and spirit of African design” said Oprah. Although she admitted that she might need a little help making this work
