The design of our house is such that an outward opening front door would be an asset. But given that I probably need planning permission to walk across the carpet and building regs approval to put a mug on the breakfast table I won't put my mind to it. Indeed, my first thought about Sweden before reading the article was "that'll be fire regs".
I do need some work doing on our front door though - the wooden frame has started to rot. No idea in the world who or how you get someone for that kind of a job though - tiny to anyone else, insurmountable for me to do. so I expect it will be added to the long list of similar jobs around the house.
