Hygge Design

Step into the world of Nordic-style kitchens and discover the hidden truth behind their timeless beauty.

Simple lines, bright rooms, natural materials: these with a few variations are the ingredients that over time have contributed to the popularity of the Nordic style in interior design. As always in this room, finishes are crucial in confirming a decorative choice. For example, a parquet floor is always an ideal starting point. At the same time, however, a white wall, the almost always dominant colour for the Scandinavian style, is also a good starting point and a very common feature, whether expressed with paint or tiles.

The dark winters and few hours of sunshine explain the Scandinavian tradition’s quest to maximise brightness in the home. In the kitchen, then, this aspect is particularly important and it is no coincidence that the white kitchen in the Nordic style is almost always a constant, colour is only expressed in soft, pastel shades on furniture and walls.

The use of white tiles becomes a way of using the glossy finish as an additional aid to the brightness of the kitchen. This colour choice is also an easy way to find the right combination with the many wood essences that are the protagonists of both the furniture and the accessories in a Nordic style kitchen.

Also testifying to the success of the Nordic style kitchen are the many declinations that aim for a more contemporary atmosphere without betraying its distinctive features. A classic example is the choice of black furniture to be inserted between a wooden floor and light walls, if not exactly white, at least in grey.

A further element that can bring a more contemporary touch to Scandinavian-style kitchens are the furnishings around the main ones, such as lamps, chairs and a table, if any, which can shift the atmosphere of this room with their design.

A contemporary variant can also be found in Nordic industrial style kitchens. This hybrid version lends itself to easy interpretation because it shares several features, especially in the essential lines. Then, to aim for an easy combination, you can go for marble juxtaposed with wood.

Behind the sleek design and minimalist aesthetic of Nordic-style kitchens lies a hidden truth: they are more than just a trend, but a way of life. With clean lines, natural materials, and functional elements, these kitchens embody simplicity at its finest!
