Is your dream kitchen a combination of simplicity, warmth and functionality? Then the Scandinavian style is perfect for you. This timeless and durable look brings peace to your home and to your mind. With these tips, you can effortlessly create a cosy kitchen that lasts for generations.
In Scandinavian design, everything revolves around simplicity and durability. No unnecessary frills, but an interior that is smart and functional. Choose clean lines and neutral shades such as white, beige and soft pastels. In short: colours that bring calmth and are not a fashion trend. And don’t forget: an organised kitchen is a peaceful kitchen. Store items in smart storage systems and keep only the essentials within reach.
In the Far North, daylight is scarce, so Scandinavian design cleverly makes use of natural light. Large windows, light colours and natural reflections maximize brightness. Choose a colour palette of white, light grey or greige and let it return in floors and furniture. Light wood types such as oak or ash provide extra warmth without weighing down the space.
Tip: Use transparent curtains or opt for window coverings that don’t block natural light.
3. Nature indoors
Scandinavians live close to nature and you can see that reflected in their interiors. Wood is the eye-catcher: an oak or maple floor makes your kitchen warm and inviting. Combine this with wooden accents in cabinets, countertops or furniture for a harmonious appearance. Also play with natural elements such as wool, linen and ceramics to make the space cosy and welcoming.
Tip
For your kitchen, it’s best to choose a floor that is 100% waterproof such as parquet, laminate, high pressure floors or our strong wood floors. That way, you can stir your pots carefree without stressing about possible stains.

4. Sustainability as a foundation
Sustainability is an important factor within Scandinavian design. That’s why you should choose quality materials that last, such as sturdy wooden floors, natural stone countertops and timeless kitchen cabinets. Energy-efficient appliances and water-saving taps also fit perfectly into this conscious style.
Tip: Consider reused or recycled materials for an eco-friendly kitchen.
