Perfection: We'd expect nothing less from Scandinavian stylist and writer Emma Persson Lagerberg; whose kitchen features mint green cabinets, mirror ball light fixtures, and a marble countertop that seamlessly blends up into a backsplash. The best part? The entire look is much more attainable that you might think.
Before the transformation, Lagerberg's kitchen was stark white with a large Noguchi lantern suspended above the dining table (see how her tastes have changed with the "before" photographs on Decor 8). With the addition of pale green cabinets and light wood accents, suddenly her kitchen looks fresher and, well, mintier. To do the same to your all-white kitchen, see our sources below.
Above: Lagerberg installed an evenly proportioned row of porcelain wall sockets above the countertops to add lighting without the glare of an overhead option.
