I just love open space kitchens. Actually I am no longer a huge fan of doors... My dream house/apartment would be quite open. Perhaps a door on the bedroom. And glass walls on the private master bedroom's bathroom.
Otherwise, just give me SPACE. And a nice view. Like this one:
Wouldn't that be just the perfect view to see first thing when you open your door? And it's on an island... In Helsinki. What can be better?
What is most typical of Finland... Lakes and nature... forests, pine trees, rocks, moss.. This house is surrounded by it!
Must be my favorite apartment. It was right on the sea shore on a small island in Helsinki, with an amazing view. And an indoor completely private small yard, perfect for barbecuing, sunbathing, taking break from the hot sauna..
On this day we managed to lock ourselves out... And it wasn't too hot outside, it was pretty late autumn. Luckily we had keys to a car and cell phones, so we could call the owner and get keys from him that way.
It always looks so much better when there are a few objects scattered around a place, it makes it more warm and gives the person who views the photographs an idea to the size of the rooms and flat.

Sometimes it's about the angle. Point your camera up, or downwards, see the lines, use the lines, zoom in, zoom out.
