Rooms in Helsinki
I feel like these rooms are a prime example of investing in things that you love, minimalism and surrounding yourself with carefully curated items - something I'm working on. And now that we'll be moving to a new flat in the city, I am a sponge for decorating options and changing some things up! (not sure I love that term - "sponge", but anyway)

ahh i love the minimalist look!! <3
you are right, this place looks super nice and beautiful! I am trying to find a really old and worn wood table at the moment, I have a love for vintage furniture going on at the moment :) haha.
and no worries, my trip to moscow is for business, but hopefully I will be able to squeeze in a short sightseeing tour on Saturday!
have a lovely tuesday, we have such a grey sky here today... ihhhh...
What a beautiful minimalist space -- thanks for sharing.:D
Happy Tuesday!:D

Beautiful, I would instantly move in!
I love how a chandelier makes any room look so much more elegant. Lovely room!
I love it! I could live in that house. Have a lovely day darling!
Great images, this is how I would love my flat to look like if I was living in a city:) The floors are particularly excellent, and I love the contrast between old and modern.
Such an amazing flat :)
These rooms are incredible! Minimalist + bright + beautiful. Just what I want my future home to look like.

Lovely! I love the simple minimalist style. I love the feeling of excitement before decorating a new place. When in a new country, it can be a bit frustrating as I have to learn where to get what first, but it's all worth the wait. Good luck! I hope you'll post the photos of your new flat on your beautiful blog! I love the new look!!
I totally agree - it's about collecting those quality pieces (Err hence why I've been buying all those Hermes scarves - apparel AND decor!)

I love this place! I'm really into clean and spacious places, probably because the houses I grew up in were always cluttered.
I agree. Those rooms give a super fresh and minimalistic vibe that I totally love! Have a lovely Tuesday, sweetie. Kisses
beautiful spaces! thanks for stopping by the blog!

You girl..Loving that crystal chandelier..gorgeous! I am a minimalist too...not a lot of extra "decor" crap..I tend to like darker colors (greens, browns, maroons)but this bright white space is beautiful.

gorgeous rooms :) I love to buy really precious pieces too :)
Love, Vanilla
Love them! Minimilistic yet I love the ornate touches like the chandelier in the kitchen :)
Oh..if only my house could look like this, but I have Dad around. It gets messy. Well, I'm messy too.
Great look. Not sure if it really works in reality though.
It looks like the future. But I might be several decades from it.
ohh loving this. The look is stunning.

Thank you for visiting Darling Notes! I'm so glad you did because I found your blog in return! Loving the chandelier in the kitchen -- beautiful!
Love it! So simple but dreamy! That chandelier is gorgeous!!
WOW, these rooms are right up my alley..clean and crisp....thanks!
Beautiful! I am such a big fan of the minimalist look, I think it makes a home much more relaxing and serene!
bright white walls + light wood floors = love.
I love minimalism in rooms, lol I still don't have any displays on walls in my house cuz I like the bare wall
Beautiful photographs...I totally agree with the minimalist + curated assessment...gorgeous ! :)

Love the minimalist look. But not sure if i'll ever achieve it. I simply love too many things. Help!
and when i get back to suisse, kristina, you and I neeeeed to meet up.
Those rooms are very inviting! I'd love to have a day in there!
I love how simple and glam this is at the same time. This is my style to a t - or at least what I'm trying to go for!
That chandelier is divine!
I love the look of minimalism. It's so clean and refreshing. These rooms are beautiful!
So beautiful, clean and modern!
I thought that was your shop I'm a nut I have had it on the side forever so does this support you at all?
So great, and I love your style! I can't wait until you get that flat and I can share some pics!! xo
Beautiful space! I truly believe in living this way. Now I'm trying to do the same with my wardrobe...not as easy! Thanks for sharing!!!

I'm living in a house that's been around for generations (before the 60s), so I don't feel like doing much with the decorating! I feel like moving into a new place would spark inspiration... a new clean slate... or flat! Have fun moving!!
love love love that chandelier in the kitchen. and you guys found a new place? awesome!
Agreed!! Photos like these make me want to go out and splurge on things I don't have yet and redecorate my place.
p.s. thanks for the link on the bookshelf. :)

i completely agree - and i'm trying to be the same way. sometimes it's hard to wait though, when you see something that's almost like what you want and it's cheaper. but in the end i've found it's still better to wait until you find exactly what you want and spending the money on it. in the end it's worth it! but it's still a struggle :P
Yes, I need to be more careful when it comes to buying pieces for the home. I want to make sure I get quality pieces that have purpose of some sort, whether it's just to make me happy or something better. We're buying a house soon, and we'll need tons of new stuff. My goal is to make it look polished like these spaces!
So great!!
i tend to lean towards the same look. what you pictured is nearly my ideal. love this!

I'm trying to do the same thing, but I am so indecisive I usually go cheap so if I change my mind it doesn't matter.
But earrings and alcohol chillers are the perfect first step me thinks!
I LOVE these simple minimalistic looks...so fab! Hope you have a great day Krystal! xo
Rome?! oh you lucky lucky bum!! How was it and where did you go?! I do hope you had an amazing time. Also, these rooms like magnificent.
have a wonderful day sweetheart
These are GORGEOUS! I love that chandelier; it's absolutely stunning.

love how white this looks and the wood too!
I've been doing the same thing, every night browsing beautiful apartments in Paris to rent for 2 weeks! It's a new obsession.
I love the light wood floors of the rooms in the upper right corner. Lovely!
New to this blog. It's great! And I've travelled to your city. You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!
These are so beautiful. They are not too minimalist but they are tidy and clutter free which I always find much nicer than flats with a lot of stuff in them. White is a great base colour and I generally like neutral colours in interior design, much easier to change and spice up with smaller, colourful things.
And nothing is better than lots of light and space!
simplicity is beauty right!? love it!
I like minimalism too, but I always end up buying too much, I think. haha
I WANT ROME AND I WANT IT NOW.
I'll be patient, I promise.
i wish i had a stack of money that i could only spend on home decor so i could do something like this. the problem is, when i get money i tend to spend it on clothes and shoes.
love the minimalist look in these pics! Decorating = so much fun :)
Gorgeous! I love it too!
and I'm also moving too! ahhh yay for decorating!!!! <#

What a great apartment. I adore scandinavian design and everything that looks so clean, fresh and simple. Maybe because it is so different in my house...it's clutter, clutter, everywhere. And cats, of course.
i feel the same way--slowly but surely editing all my possessions and holding on to the ones i love the most.
Are those clear chairs in the kitchen? I love acrylic. Plus, these are beautiful, open spaces.

I love when a room looks minimal but really has tons of stuff in it just placed to perfection. That is what I am going for and so far NOT achieving. Minimal looks great but it lacks warmth. I am loving Emily Henderson http://www.stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/episode-7-where-it-all-started.html
she does minimal with loads of stuff but it seems warm yet uncluttered. Hmmm just go see. :)
Hi Krystal! I wish I live in that gorgeous room! So spacious and comfortable! Great inspiration! xoxoxo
oooh, you found a flat in the city! Congratulations! I hope the move goes smoothly for you and that you really enjoy your new place. :)
Love these looks, bright & clean - rooms that reduce the stress levels ;)
soo-o-o gorgeous. looks so tranquil!
Love that rug!!
bright, light and airy, what's not to love?
I could totally live there!

Love, love, love that space! I think we have the same taste ;P
Lovely and look at those floors.
aww, i love your purchases and totally agree with your ethic. can be so hard when money or weight is an issue. i', always so shocked to realize how little we have from our travels!
love the white kitchen, not sure Id want kids in there! LOL! Good luck on your new flat search, have you found where you want to be?
looks amazing! I am slowly making my house my own - decorating is so much fun!
I love the clip light on the mirror. What a great idea!!!
I love this apartment! Looks like one you see in the movies. I could live there:)
This is the perfect place for inspiration! I love the simplicity, the white, the wood floors, that simple pop of color from the rug. Gorgeous find, Krystal! I can't wait to see what your apartment will look like (I hope you share when it's ready)!
What a beautiful space. I love the minimalist look but it is harder to achieve in a family home than I thought.
Thanks for you kind comment about my take on "If My Blog Were A Room" over at Simple Dwellings. I hope you had a chance to visit www.timberandlace.blogspot.com. I am working on achieve some rustic minimalism in my house.
Thanks,
Marci
Oh these rooms are gorgeous! They look so calming.
Ooh, Helsinki! My ancestors are from Finland!
Beautiful spaces! I just adore the simplicity!
