PS Cabinet in Interiors

As I have mentioned on the blog before, I have the classic Ikea PS cabinet in off white located in my living room. It is a great and useful piece of furniture.I also enjoy seeing the cabinet in different interiors and how people have gone about using them, like today on The Design Files in this Sydney home. Two PS cabinets sit side by side in the bedroom, with a lovely display of objects on the top surface. Nice.

The front door also has been recently painted with a coat of glossy black. Looks smart.Photographs...
