Living between Spain and Holland for the last 6 years, during that time, I lived in 7 different apartments in 4 Dutch cities.<\/p>\n

In some cases I lived with furniture that wasn’t even furniture, in others without being able to do much because they were decorated just like a decoration magazine and in others doing and undoing them to my liking.<\/p>\n

In all of them, I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t like Dutch architecture more.<\/p>\n

The apartments in the city center, where I had to climb stairs that went against all the rules I studied, the most modern buildings I had ever seen in my life challenged what less is more and that everything must have a reason functional\u2026.<\/p>\n

All these experiences served to admire the giant-high windows, the large living rooms with open kitchen where all the activity in the house is centered, the importance of a small bathroom, the pure wood, the simplicity and freshness of the decoration and\u2026 the white.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Check out this little house on the outskirts of Amsterdam to show what I mean by decorating in white.
\nIn this home, white is the main decor element. The freshness that comes with it is simply brilliant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Timeless furniture, details in black wood, everything combining perfectly with the white color as a base. What does the white floor look like to you? Like it? Excessive?<\/p>\n<\/div>

Do you think these trends are arriving in Portugal? I hope you enjoyed this Dutch house as much as I did and that it serves as inspiration for your home.<\/p>\n
