When I was designing my kitchen here in my apartment, I had long been thinking about getting one with warm wood cabinet fronts. I decided against it since the old hardwood flooring in my apartment has a warm color already and it would have been too much. In this beautiful Swedish apartment, however, the floors are whitewashed, meaning they lend themselves to be easily combined with warmer tints of wood without becoming too much.

I love the combination of the white-washed flooring with the warm dark wood of the kitchen fronts, the dining chairs at the table, and the warm natural stone countertop. The cupboards on the other side of the two-tone kitchen and also the upper cabinets have been made out of grey painted wood, which balances out all the wooden elements. I also like the small open shelving next to the kitchen window, which complements the look perfectly.

From the kitchen, you can walk directly into the living room, which has another dining table in front of the windows and a cozy sofa area with a large rug and wooden dining chairs in a similar tint of the kitchen cabinet doors.
