Gray, white, beige kitchen
A better look at both sides of the neutral kitchen from 2 previous posts. Isn’t it simple and elegant? I’m crazy about the roll up shade.
Taken at a fantastic handmade ceramics fair in Copenhagen, these images show how a decorative layer in a kitchen design can add texture, color, shape and form. Whether a few select pieces or a collection around the kitchen, ceramic art is a natural aesthetic connection to any kitchen design. Scandinavia has a rich history in outstanding ceramic design as these images illustrate.
A simple, chic, Scandinavian kitchen all about warmth and contrast. It’s a warm minimalism. It is beautifully designed, even down to the dark cables attached to white pendants. A composition consisting of blocks of color and form. The Series 7 chairs are perfect - understated yet interesting.
Always fascinating to me to see style take the strong lead in a Scandinavian kitchen design. This is what I’m talking about - Scandinavian kitchen design is not focused on maximizing storage - it is the “dance” of storage and aesthetics, where storage does not win *by default* as it often/usually does in the US. Instead, the end is seen from the beginning, with an equal (key word) focus on style as well as function. This puts black appliances in a whole new light, so to speak! And, less wall cabinetry means a great, spacious feeling.
I also love the dining area…all about contrast, the chairs exploiting the light finishes of other elements.
A blending of a touch of minimalism, country, rustic, and modern speaks “style” quietly but in such an elegant way. It’s also about comfort, function and form. I think if there was one thing I’d change, it would be the cabinet below the artwork. I’d like to see another furniture piece there.
At first I thought these images from Rum magazine were shot in a sepia tone and then saw other colors. It looks like the cooktops are in front of a fireplace. A very unconventional kitchen design. I’m not seeing much storage availability. I don’t love parts of it and am crazy about other parts. I do love the long thin bricks.
Imagine for a moment, you are designing your kitchen. Look for inspiration everywhere and anywhere. These two images of this gorgeous, rich, gray blue, paired with other grays AND with warm colored metals is at once new and classic. I can see a very personal, untrendy, but timeless, kitchen design with these classic shades. I see warm colored hardware and faucet and lighting and wood flooring. Perhaps with blocks of white either on the walls or countertop or deep, rich grays as cabinetry or wall color..wherever the imagine takes one.
One of my most favorite, and very simple images, not even so very well shot. It shows a Scandinavian sensibility. It’s the entrance to an apartment (in my cousin’s building in Copenhagen). We see classic forms combined with natural elements and the cozy yet modern touch of the candle holders, and let’s not forget the rope heart. This is a very Scandinavian vignette and one which I think speaks to so many people. I love this image in all its imperfection (as shot). It clearly says “home” even before the resident walks through the door.
This is the other view of the kitchen from my previous post. Ahhh…
White, Gray, Warm Kitchen
To my eye, this is one elegant kitchen! Simple, modern, a very warm, comforting pattern on the wall, a natural skin rug and the warmth of wood legs on the chairs. The copper lighting fixture is perfect. I feel like I’m looking at a painting.
Kitchen Of Neutrals
Stone, stainless, white, mushroom…neutrals with a cool/warm combination read fresh, modern, and warm. A touch of tradition via the shaker door style, yet it all works together and is a very pleasing look.
Kitchen Golds and Bronze
Interesting golds and bronze tones within a very modern wood kitchen. Paired with plain and light colored floors and a table, as two horizontal elements, it’s a look for a kitchen that is different than we normally see. It’s very warm.
Scandinavian Kitchen Design Details
Simple, elegant details in Scandinavian kitchens speak volumes. Note the thin, but elegant, wood countertop cutout surrounding the sink and the thinner than normal drawer front…a very modern look to a traditional framed cabinet. Stunning. Last, interesting door/drawer configurations and a think corian countertop with a super thin sink cutout. Elegant. Simple. Functional.
