The beautiful grey

According to a trend report, made by Frida Ramstedt for IKEA, 2012 will be the year of dark tones and the smell of wool and solid natural materials. Just the way I like it!

I need your help

Since I know I have many talented readers, I could really use your help. I'm on a very strict budget right now, which makes it a little more difficult (but fun) to find furniture for my new apartment. The apartment is really small, so I have to find a small dining table. I was thinking of combining a table top with IKEA's VIKA LERBERG trestle legs. However, I can't decide whether I want black legs and a white table top, white legs and a white table top or black legs and a black table top. What do you think? I will combine it with black chairs. I really need your opinions! Thanks!

These bedrooms make me want to stay in bed all day long.

Just inspiration

I've bought a new apartment, so my days are filled with trying to find inspiration. It's a new build, so it's kind of like a blank canvas. Our old apartment had loads of character, with high ceilings and old wooden floors. I think a more modern look will suit this apartment better though. Perhaps something like this:
