Fab kitchen and sitting room in a Swedish apartment

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! And happy start to the week to you! The gloves were out today in Sweden (sorry for this continuous obsession with the weather...I am British after all!). BRRR! I could see myself retreating indoors and padding around this beautiful Gothenburg apartment today. I particularly love the kitchen with it's blue cabinets (you can find similar leather door handles <a href="http://www.courtyard-accessories.co.uk/latest-news/leather-cabinet-kitchen-and-door-handles/">here</a>), light grey marble work surface, white walls and original parquet floor. And the touch of mid-century in the sitting room too. What a great space, don't you think?!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

What colour kitchen cabinets would you choose?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The kitchen is such an important room. One of my Mum's friends always refers to it as 'the engine room of the house', which I think is spot on, don't you? Last night I got a message from a great friend in London asking for advice on what colour kitchen cabinets she should choose. We've all been in interior dilemmas before and when I saw the picture of her kitchen (scroll down to the last image), I knew I had to help, plus it gave me an excuse to drool over beautiful kitchens on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. I also found these beautiful kitchens shot by one of my favourite Swedish photographers, <a href="http://www.ingerstedt.se/interior.php" target="_blank">Jonas Ingerstedt</a>...could white or a shade of blue be the answer?!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A Danish kitchen in pretty pastels

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">When it comes to Scandinavian style decorating people tend to go for the <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/a-serene-white-stockholm-apartment.html" target="_blank">all white</a> look, <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/a-monochrome-apartment-with-touch-of.html" target="_blank">monochrome</a>, <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/the-dark-side-of-decorating.html" target="_blank">dark moody hues</a>, <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/pretty-in-pinkand-blue-and-yellow.html" target="_blank">pastels</a> or <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/swedish-apartment-with-mid-century-touch.html" target="_blank">bold brights</a>.
