The way it's taken looks like it's a realtor picture, and those are often overexposed to make the rooms look brighter than they are.

Someone trained an AI to create and name paint colors Janelle Shane

What's your pick for color of the summer? Mine's "Sand Dan"

I'm a fan of the colors which don't actually match their names.

I'm Gray Pubic.

I don't hate this. Apart from the dumb threshold which I would trip over all the time, I like the contrast between the rooms.

Eh, the current interior trend in Sweden is white. White everywhere. As bright as possible.

Maybe with something like a single black pillow or a grayscale piece of art on the wall for accent. If you have more than two contrasting items you're an interior design rebel.

I'm following one of many DIY groups on Facebook and every now and then someone shows a nice older table, cupboard, dresser or whatever and asking if they should paint it. Of course the comments are always full of idiots cheering them on, and then a day later they post a picture where they painted it some hideous color and you can tell even from the picture taken with a smudged cellphone camera that they laid it on way too thick and there's both paint runs and orange peel surface.

There are non-terrible ones that are less barn-y

I GUESS.

All of these look pretty bad imo. Not the doors themselves, but they kept the standard door trim which clashes with the barn door and makes it look like the door was just tacked on like an afterthought.

This looks better, because the door fits with the style of the room and the trim around the opening.

Or this, where there's no trim to clash with.

Apart from an art gallery, is there anywhere track lightning doesn't look out of place?

If you want incredibly nice, I also found this guy. http://www.knockdoorbells.com/vintage_chimes_longbells.htm He restores old ones and also has new ones of his own design. I'm surprised he doesn't have recordings up, but if you're in that end of the pool, you could email and ask and I'm sure he'd give you recordings in equally exhausting detail.

Well that is a thing I didn't know I needed. Those longbells are gorgeous.

My current design pet peeve is ~minimalist~ kitchens. Like this one. How can you cook here? Where do you put food? And dishes? And cookware besides your stupid teapot collection?

That would be ok if it had some actual cupboards instead of stupid open shelving.

So given the recent theme of mid century modern, I just bought a ~~house~~ 1960s time capsule

That place is amazing. The only things I'd change are the carpets and the flourescent lights in the kitchen

I'm going to re-do the kitchen lighting at some point, but I don't want to ruin it with lovely can lights or other awful modern poo poo, so it might cost a bit. Ideas on that very welcome.

I'm personally fond of the timeless frosted globe, assuming there's enough ceiling height for it.

European fridge/freezers are typically 55-60cm (21.6"-23.6") wide. Combo fridge/freezer unit are split horizontally.

I haven't heard anyone use the term "american freezer", but I guess it refers to combo units that are wider than 60cm and split vertically.

You joke but this is basically how every staged house/apartment in Sweden looks.

None of these are dorm rooms, they're all �300k-500k downtown apartments.

I've found Ikea sofas to have a good balance of cost and quality if you're looking for something hardy.

Ikea stuff in general I've found to be complete poo poo when <�200, pretty solid at �300-600, and not the best compared to other suppliers beyond that.

IKEA stuff is pretty nice if you look beyond the cheapest stuff.

I have a KIVIK couch and it's great. Seats three people or four friends, and is wide and comfortable enough to be used as a spare bed in a pinch. Armrests are a little bit low to be used as actual armrests, but they're wide and firm enough that you can have a plate, serving bowl, laptop or whatever on them. If I want to use them as actual armrests I just put a pillow on top.
