I love the contrast between traditional and modern in this bright open kitchen in Helsinki. Despite it's buttery yellow walls, I feel this space looks quite airy and a little cold (quite Finnish). The ghost chairs have an almost icy effect, especially against the white floor.

I loved this interior! The luster is wonderful and everything is very different.
Have a lovely weekend!

Yes there are lot of interesting mixes here and tied together by that famous 'Scandinavian blonde' look, it really works.
Love the Finns and their stunning designs. From Aalto to Lapponia, to Marimekko and Saarinen (though he was half American..) - it is all fantastic!

That's true...I think that the white floor seems to cool it down more, perhaps? White floors + clear chairs must make the cool feeling, cooler. I do love the mix too, though, as the paintings on the gallery wall really offset the pristine chairs.
Hope you have a lovely weekend! Thank you so much for your visits this week, Sharalee :)
