How to design a Scandinavian-style kitchen?

As we know, light colours are at the heart of Scandinavian style. White facades, cabinets, walls or other elements – Scandinavian style is unthinkable without white! It’s also a style that stands out for its myriad variations and grateful nature – Scandinavian style can be adapted to any home. That is the key to success. So this time, let’s look at what exactly makes Scandinavian style “Scandinavian”.

Lighting in the kitchen – the key to Scandinavian style

We’ve already highlighted the importance of lighting in kitchen interiors, but it’s even more important when it comes to Scandinavian style. The Scandinavian style is based on the aim of brightening up a room to compensate for the amount of light you don’t get in the north during winter. A kitchen in light colours with lighting that is well thought out and of high quality will make the kitchen space much, much more pleasant – everyone will appreciate it!

Materials and their influence on design perception

Materials are another feature that distinguishes Scandinavian style from others. Traditionally, natural materials were used as much as possible, mostly wood, but nowadays the formula is largely the same. Acrylic or mdf facades with laminate or solid wood surfaces and wall panels. It is a combination that will stick to tradition and can never “go wrong”.

Other design elements

Often walls remain largely unused and boring, but the Scandinavian style has always been committed to remedying this. A wall panel is a memorable part of a kitchen, and if it wasn’t designed in wood or laminate, it’s safe to say that the next choice is a tile with a more interesting but neutral pattern.
