Description Red Ruffles: Sevilla

This apartment in the centre of Seville demonstrates the large impact that minimalist design can have if executed well. The walls, ceiling and floor are a cleansing shade of white, which, as well as making for a cooling space to escape the Spanish sunshine, lets the selection of blue furnishings and the glitzy chandelier really stand out.

Elsewhere, the address benefits from a kitchen and set of bathrooms that are both commendable for their clean lines and sleek finishes, while there's also a balcony leading off from the twin bedroom, from which you can get a breath of fresh air while watching Sevillians go about their day-to-day business on the street below.

It should be mentioned that the central location is excellent, too. The Canal de Alfonso XIII sits five minutes' walk from the front door and offers plenty to discover along its banks, from historic bridges and monuments to a theatre. The city's gothic cathedral is a ten-minute walk away, as well.
