Question: how common are round door knobs where you live? I've seen tons of lever handles, but very rarely do I see knob handles

Meanwhile, the vast majority of the properties you find in major metro areas like Gothenburg, Stockholm, or Malmö were designed specifically with bulk rental in mind from the get-go, so they're statistically more likely to have handles on both interior and exterior doors.
If you happen to find yourself in an older area of Sweden - my frame of reference here is Gamla Stan, (lit. "The Old Town") in Stockholm, then you'll most likely also encounter door knobs on interior doors.

Putting on my UI/UX designer hat, the uptake of handles vs. knobs trends temporally with the uptake of accessibility. 50+ years ago, accessibility was less of a concern, and knobs were what was en vogue, so that's what they went with. In modern times, it's handles. Much better.

This is all kind of fascinating tbh. Like, it's such a small thing I never thought about, but it's super interesting! Thanks for telling me all of this!
