Go White! Swedish Minimal Meets Technology

030409_an_blinding_white1.jpgNothing like adding some white to brighten up a space. The author behind Let's Go Home blog shows us how to pull it off with minimalistic finesse, and then some. By mixing together a warm mix of grey tones, natural woods, and silver/white tech, he's created more than just a media room - he's created a sanctuary dedicated to technical living. See exactly what we mean, after the jump.

I love the use of grey and white. Is that IKEA media storage cabinets? Very cool.

Everything works great together. Especially the coffee table. I've been looking for one like it, can anyone identify it?

I want those shelves, but I don't see them identified in the article. Anyone recognize?

Seconding the request for coffee table identification. It's beautiful.

I love the coffee table, too.

The shelves are almost certainly IKEA. I'd check their website, wherever they have media storage.

They also have kitchen cabinets that look something like that, only I think those are taller. Their kitchen stuff is generally well made, and some of it is so sleek and modern it can look good in almost any room, repurposed.
